I'm splitting hell wide open...

I love that top tan shoe!! My husband could look so good in those! Of course, he WAS born and raised in Africa.

MEN'S SHOES!!!!


I had to. None of the ones in the women's section fit me.

I can't help it. I have big feet. I wear a 11 1/2 in men's. Most of the women's 12's just don't fit.

They are nice though. They are just plain black, casual style. If asked, I'll provide a pic.

I bought a pair of white men's shoes a couple weeks ago. Again, no choice when I have such big feet.

But what is devastating is that I'm violating Deut 22:5. But what is a big-footed girl to do, go barefoot??

Y'all pray for me.

You can't violate that unless, in your heart, you are wearing those shoes to exist in your mind and heart as a man. It is not a dress code, it's a moral issue.

Girl, you already know that!!!!

Well, I have to admit...there was a spring in my step that didn't exist when I had the other shoes on.

Maybe it's because they were black men's shoes......


Said that one just for Sherri......LOL!

Not exactly my style, cheesy.

So, HO, what kind of men's shoes could you possibly buy that would be fun to wear????

Waiting with bated breath, whatever in the world that means. I just think it sounds cool.

"To moderate or restrain (a variation of "abate"): to bate one's enthusiasm, and, "to lessen or diminish," and "with bated breath - in a state of suspenseful anticipation."

"Bated breath" has been around a long time. Here's the first cite in the Oxford English Dictionary: "1596 Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice i. iii. 125 'With bated breath, and whispring humblenesse.'"

That term comes from the Bible parable of the cat who ate some cheese then lurked outside the mouse hole with "bated" breath.
