What shoes shall a MILF wear on any given Tuesday, Fall 2006?

How about, what’s now and wow?

-Boots are tres cool. Fall looks are equesterian style and motorcycle boots and wedge boots.

-Ballerina shoes are comfy and way stylish right now. With or without the strap.

-Pointy shoes and round toed shoes are still popular. Look for lots of chrome buckles.

-Textures are patent leather, metallics, animal prints and fabrics, as well as leather, all in fall colors.

Shoes are practical. Shoes are good. New shoes arrive in stores everyday. What’s a MILF to do?

For a quick peek at what’s new, I think Nordstrom has the best “hot” shoe list.
