The Campers.

So I decided to look at the shoes I always look at when I want to lust after a shoe. I've never personally owned a pair of Campers. While I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on shoes before, it's never been a pair of Campers for some reason. I guess it's just never been the right shoe at the right time. I do love how comfortable the shoes look, and how unique their designs. They are consistently different. So there's these which I love:

But at $175.. and unemployed.. I really couldn't justify spending that much money on a shoe that wasn't exaaaactly what I wanted.. Plus they are red and black, and I live in a town where that is unacceptable unless a member of tri delta. The price ruled out a lot of their other options as well. Like these:

I liked a previous season's incarnation of this shoe better anyway. I check ebay fairly regularly for their shoes as well because you can find a decent discount and sometimes some decent used shoes, but there was nothing in my size. New from Amazon or Planet Shoes or Zappos, they are really hard to find for under $150. So, once again, it wasn't the right time or right price for Campers. Maybe one day I'll get to see how comfy these "walking" shoes actually are.
