The Ruined Shoes Thread

[evexa]

Hello all, its been a while! Hopefully things haven't changed too much to where I can't post this thread...but perhaps it has been posted in my absence...
Anyway,
I know all of you have at least one...That one pair of shoes that you would SWEAR BLIND you saw first (even before the buyers , and that now everyone and their mother wears.
Voice your sorrows here for those shoes that you once cherished but are now bastardised by every single shoe chain in america/europe/asia/wherever.

For me:
Farewell to thee YoYo Zeppa, now worn and made by...well...everyone. May ye rest in peace.

Ha Ha! Awesome topic evexa!

Pretty much every Louboutin shoe is being copied by Steve Madden and Wild Pair and all those big chains. Really is a shame.

For me, it's my beloved Michael Kors Newton wedges. I got them when they first came out (in 2005!) and wore them everywhere but now even Payless has a version. I still wear them (they are so amazingly comfortable, I wear them when I'm flying 'cause they're great for walking) but I feel like telling everyone "I bought them first!".
