shoe minimalist vs. shoe hoarder

behind every man that believes three pairs of shoes - one for biking/hiking/running/whatever, one for the beach, and one for weddings and funerals - is sufficient for life, i imagine is a woman who believes three pairs of shoes is sufficient for that many days of the week (or, depending on what your plans are that evening, three pairs may only be sufficient for a single day). such is the difference with chris and i.

chris's everyday shoe is his beloved pair of black etnies that are older than some of my friends' old-enough-to-ride-a-bike-without-training-wheels kids. while he'll probably wear them until the soles fall off, i've been thinking maybe it's time for an upgrade. notice i didn't say replacement? so without insulting his etnies, i asked him to sit down with me and look at fashion shoes for men on macy's site (because really, who doesn't love a store with a wooden escalator?). here are his picks:

i was really curious to see what he'd choose and how it would compare to my favorites (which tend to be anything that would make a guy look like a skater from 1980's southern california), and i was surprised and excited to see that his two favorites (converse and lacoste) were among my top picks! apparently i don't only get excited about shoes for myself! and to prove my 80's skater taste in shoes, here are my two favorites for him:

does your husband or boyfriend believe in the three pairs way of living as well? if you could go shoe shopping for him, which styles would you choose?

gift guide: for your man.

the hardest people to buy for, at least in my opinion, are men. dads, husbands, brothers, whatever. why can't they enjoy getting new shoes and lip gloss like us women do? it would make things a lot easier! here are some ideas for the man in your life: a free pass on farting, a sex slave, and beer. i kid. well, no, i really don't, but they wouldn't be as fun for a woman to buy or give, so in the spirit of joyful gift-giving, here are a few ideas for your beau...

what: shaving set, debonair tie, record letterpress coaster set, handcrafted guitar pick, moustache briefs, leather woodgrain wallet.

i was also going to include some dirty love coupons, but i have family that reads this blog, okay? i can't have them looking at me differently when i walk in on christmas eve. you can find them though, and i'm sure they'll make you giggle.
