qool @ 111 minna

Check out my cool F shoes by John Fluevog!! I got these at the SF Fluevog store on Haight Street a few years ago. A friend once said they look like bumper cars...they're fun to wear with really baggy pants. Chad snapped this at Qool party at 111 Minna, hence Chad's handiwork with the Qool logo in the corner.

dutch el dantes

I found these shoes in Holland last November while visiting my friend Vera. Vera lives in the south of Holland about 3 hours from Amsterdam and 10 minutes from the German border near Aachen. The day after I arrived, we went shopping in Heerlen, a small university city about 15 minutes away. These El Dantes were the first pair I spotted in the first shop we went into and it was only my first full day in Holland...which means I was in trouble already - Holland has LOTS of shoes, especially the funky crazy types. But I loved them so I bought them anyway. And it turned out to be a good decision because I didn't buy any other shoes for the rest of the trip. Good restraint, Lynn. *self pat on the back* People have asked me where they can get a pair locally. Well, I haven't seen this pair in the US but I do know that Shoe Biz in SF carries occasionally the El Dantes brand.
