Shopping 4 Shoes

I am a BIG-TIME brand loyalist when it comes to shoes. And my Number One brand is probably Camper. The first time I heard of Camper was during my year abroad, when my friends and I would window-shop the boutiques in downtown Angers while we waited for our bus at night. So yeah, my attachment is probably a little sentimental, but Camper shoes are sooooooooooo cute and comfortable and durable, and you really can't beat that.

They're a Spanish brand, which I think is how they're able to be so stylish (have you ever met a Spanish person?). Here are some of the hot ones for this fall (full disclosure: I already own the red pair):

I also love the soles of the shoes, and every sole is different. Little details like this really count!

I know these shoes aren't cheap, but I always figure, w/r/t shoes: you can pick, at most, 3 of the 4: comfort, style, durability, price. For example: Birkenstocks are comfortable, durable, and sometimes stylish...but they're not cheap. Pretty much any shoe from Urban Outfitters will be stylish and cheap, but you're living in a fantasy world if you think they'll be comfortable and durable. Those $3 fake Crocs you got from Eckerd? Good luck with style, durability, and comfort! Etc. etc. Anyway, my money is (literallllllllllllly!) on Camper.
