my entire shoe collection 2024 (Dr. Martens collection, Tabis, sneakers, thrifted shoes)

[@renee568]

As someone who works in a shoestore (that sells Doctor Martens, Ugg, Timberland, Birkenstock, New Balance, etc) unfortunately they sometimes switch factory and their sized can differ 1 or 2 mm. Which might be just to much for your feet and now the same size doesn't fit.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

Different styles also just fit differently

[@paulas9359]

For me the quality for doc martens is so different as well, I bought Sinclairs in two sizes and one was made in china, other one made in Vietnam and the china ones felt so cheap, such thin leather. Big difference

[@itsabrina0528]

You are wearing that vest already!!!!! It looks so so good on you😻

[@alessandrariooo]

They 100% changed the insoles of the converse, I’ve had a few and the old ones were so thin and hard the new ones are so squishy and comfy

[@alexasunshine83]

Thank goodness! Makes such a difference!

[@paigedurmis8026]

The tabi shoe trend is so interesting to me because I honestly feel like it doesnt really change the look of the shoe very much compared to the same type of shoe without the tabi detail. I feel like some of the fashion people wearing them were being snobby about it, like 'you just don't get it, because you're not as fashionable as me" not to mention the fact they are over $1,000, the cultural significance is interesting but doesn't justify being a snob about it. The trending version of the shoe wasn't even made by a japanese designer

[@ossaobscura]

I love the green and brown cowboy boots. I think you will get a lot more wear out of them than the green metallic ones. It always feels good when you know someone else will get more wear out of them.

[@JessiesEra]

SO SO HAPPY you filmed this! Can’t wait to watch a mini movie all about your shows😍

[@thatbooknerdoverthere7899]

Give this woman her DM sponsorship! 😆 Ok but seriously, can we talk about all the new dr martens releases this winter? They've really been killing it!

[@ccw2613]

Something about the yellow stitching on the tassel Oxford is very classy.

[@kyra.wagner]

I literally bought the mabel mary jane's because of you. They are my new fave shoe!!!

[@emilydenny5276]

Totally agree on trying on Docs if you can before buying, and sometimes mall shoe stores carry a selection. I'm a size 8 to 8 1/2, but there is one style of Docs that I am a 7 in which is WILD. I'm interested in trying some Converse again, they fit my narrow foot well (I got married in a pair of converse, don't regret it at all, it was so very 2015 of me) but just were not comfortable enough to wear for longer periods of time. Thank you for mentioning that they seem to have updated the insole! And lastly, the Tabis, I'm really interested in trying them for my foot health. My big toes curve in a lot and I've been trying to keep up on wearing spacers to help prevent issues down the line. Hoping to try them on in-store at some point, but no clue if that's even an option.

[@maya-gur695]

I loved this video! I feel you so much about the tabis. Thought they were weird and impractical, hated them, then found an amazing small shoemaker business on etsy, ordered tabis from her and now I'm obsessed.

[@Hanna.Banana.]

Do you still know the shop name? :)

[@LeMondedeCarla04]

Would also love to know the name of the shop !

[@maya-gur695]

It's Raboesy :)

[@Hanna.Banana.]

thank you!!

[@karenfriebel7680]

Alexa, you know how much I love your videos….and like you, shoes and boots are my favorite category of clothing. SO! This video is now officially my all-time favorite video of yours. I could watch it all day. My favorite KZbinr doing show-and-tell featuring your collection of my favorite fashion category? Facinating❣️🙂 It made me think about my own BIG collection of shoes and boots as I watched, and feel less guilty about owning it because there’s LOTS of us out there who love our shoes!!! I think my favorite pair of yours might be the iconic black high-top Converse. Your Docs collection is also outstanding! I personally can’t imagine myself being willing to try the Tabis look, too bovine for me. Moo. I do love cowboy boots and Converse and UGGs and some Docs too….I don’t recall you having UGGs ever? Thanks for this fun video❣️🙂

[@RikkiMonk07]

My Dr Martens Isham Mules are 2 different shades of brown. I hadn’t noticed it indoors but when I go outdoors in the sun, it’s more obvious that they are different colors.

[@noodle182]

the one piece charms!!! also my favourite shoes were the red cowboy boots, that shade of red is just chef's kiss 🤌🏼

[@liisaky]

I am a sucker for the vans mary jane as they remind me of my school shoe when I was 10 - perfect mix between mary jane and sneaker ❤

[@18OverTheBridge]

I love seeing your collection! I got the Mayboles as soon as they were available in my country, too--I hadn't heard about them, but they were suddenly on a shoe store website I was browsing (not the DM website here, either!) and I absolutely impulse-bought them instead of the Bethans I had been saving up for--and the first time I wore them was through Ikea (for hours!) without socks, and I barely got any rubbing, definitely no blisters. I got the plain black ones, so maybe they're a different leather!

[@kelseycook8097]

I would love to see you style an outfit for each shoe!

[@rebeccacrash9272]

I love all of the Dr Martens! Also, I am almost positive I had that exact same black floral maxi skirt you're wearing with the Dr. Martens Mary Janes in the mid 90s!

[@ptaymw]

The Dr. Martens brown fisherman sandals were my first docs, got them in June! I think that is why I'm ok with the heaviness, I got the Dr. Martens Mary Jane 8065s last month and realized that not all docs are as heavy as the fisherman sandal lol!

[@symmetricalastic]

I love crocs. I don't care what other people think. I collect them The Jadons are one of my favorites too. I have nubuck ones. J.J Jill also has great clothing.

[@Nicolita1234567890]

Those chunky sketchers are still 🔥. 😂 Had to reorder a second pair because I wore them to the ground! 😍 Love those.

[@Sarah-ty5ev]

Your personality is sunshine! Immediately subscribed ❤

[@Janiz1998]

I like the square toe Mary Janes. I hope they release them with other patterns thought. I have plenty of black shoes

[@heididepotter8136]

I love Mary Janes and loafers. I m for shure a boot and booties girl. Just ware sneackers for comfort. Thank you for showing your collection

[@chowo]

I had Skechers d'lite as well and completely worn them down! I love them. I have buffalos now to replace them but they arent nearly as comfortable

[@malsjohn]

38:05 i am with you on the unif parker boots. they are SO uncomfortable and i am so confused bc ppl would always gush about how easy they were to walk in 🤨 but i cant bring myself to part with them because they're so classic looking and beautiful 😭

[@malsjohn]

38:20 I've had mine for 5 years and they're still not comfortable for longer than a couple hours 😭💔 I used to wear them all the time but now it's once in a blue moon. so maybe I should have kept trekking along lol

[@susanma4899]

I really liked the J Jill boots and the green and brown cowboy boots. I've been thinking about getting some Docs--I had a couple pair LONG ago--but I think I really need to try them on. My feet have changed over time. I like the tabis as well. They are very elegant! I've seen Margiela tabis in person, but the ones I saw were men's and they just looked so bulky and huge.

[@maayans.181]

Red cowboy boots- PULLING THEM OFF!! 😂🥰

[@inthewanderyears]

those new square toe doc mary janes 😍 can't wait to see how you style them! Also I always roll my ankle in my dr marten 1461 quad soles but it doesnt happen in the jadons.

[@amelialuvsrabbits]

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ArtichokeHunter]

i don't think i could buy shoes without trying them on, i just can't deal with shoes not fitting or not being comfortable. it makes such a difference in life!

[@christymckissick9217]

I only have one doc marten’s pair of shoes and I have the regular Jaden AirMax boots with the zipper on the side and they are amazing because of how easy they are to get on and are super comfortable. Never had any issues

[@RebeccaHunt-wv8bc]

For the converse hi-tops, try not lacing them all the way up. That should take some pressure off your ankle.

[@wemily_cody]

I am looking to buy the new doc martens with the red and the heel for homecoming. I just don’t know how to style them for everyday use. Maybe in a styling video you could give some tips 😊. I love looking at shoes no idea why, so I love this video and all of your other ones ❤

[@emmasol523]

i love dr martens collection

[@DominiqueRamseyArt]

I have a pair of crocs I use ONLY as house shoes too, but most of my Crocs I wear out in public and love them. Im flat footed too and Crocs help my feet so much when walking around long periods of time.

[@Rowan.Evander]

I've never owned a pair of cowboy boots, and yet i'm losing my mind over that green + brown pair. I'm in love. ❤

[@heididepotter8136]

I love dark red/ bourgondy colored shoes. I m on the hunt for bourgondy cowboyboots I love fringed shoes too or with tasles. So fun. Grate video Alexa x

[@valeriemalenfant]

I love your By far x reformation probably the most ''my style''! As for Dr. Martens I just went throught a whole buying ordeal with the Jetta brown boots I ordered a W7 and when they arrived they were in fact 39 EU which is way too big now I'm trying to sell them but without any luck! So I went to try a pair in store to finally realized I needed a 37 EU who is a W6 US which is NEVER the case I'm usually a 7.5US so I can wear 37EU or 38EU if they have no half size. I was just so confused with their sizing, anyway the store only had the Jetta in black and I wanted the brown. So I try again my luck ordering it online and finally got the right size in the brown colour. 😓

[@charlottemccaig578]

My least favorite style of shoe is a mary jane. I think it really depends where the strap is on the shoe but the higher on the foot (toward the ankle) the worse they are....and tend to make a foot look much longer. I do like the dbl buckle Docs, they are a sort of cross between a mj and a fisherman. All your Doc choices are good including the newest, what an unusual style! I also love cowboy boots but can seldom wear any boot unless it has a zipper. The skimmer heels from Target look really nice on you and its always smart to have a dressier pair of black shoes for events like weddings/funerals. Btw, the brown boots near the end, the ones with cognac in the title? Cognac is the color, named after the alcoholic drink, pronounced "coh-nn-yak".

[@daniellekirsch5402]

Yes yes yes shoes are my jam! I work in a hospital and don't leave my house but I'm sure I was a fashionista with a shoe addiction in a past life.

[@sherrylemay2134]

I grew up in the 80s and we had black fabric Mary Janes like your brown velvet ones. They were super cheap, like 3 dollars. We called them chinese shoes, I don’t remember why.

[@rawrbecca2644]

Obsessed. So many beautiful shoes.

[@emh.1178]

I totally feel you on not being able to thrift shoes easily! I have to try on shoes in person because I have weird duck feet (affectionate). My length is around a size 6, but my width is around a size 10-11, so most shoes just don't fit, or they fit super strangely and I have several inches of empty toespaceXD Which usually I don't mind, but I just can't buy shoes online unless I have tried that brand and make on in person before which limits my thrifting options considerably. New shoes are usually able to be exchanged for a correct size if needed

[@alo_kitty]

Duckfeetusa has some cute mary janes that I have been eyeing. I have wide feet so I too struggle to find cute shoes that accommodate for a wide width

[@emh.1178]

@@alo_kitty ooooo thanks!!:D

[@jjenniferr91]

I agree dr martens adrians are tricky with sizing. I went down 1 size to my normal in docs even tho its now very snug bc they aren't as structured around the foot, and your heal slips out especially the more it wears. My toes are pretty cramped inside rn so hoping they wear in more.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

I love the look of docs and want to love them but i had a pair years ago that i ended up selling because they hurt my feet so bad. I have 4 pairs and havent worn any of them because im scared of the break in. You have given me hope though... i think i will pull out my jadons and try wearing them out. 45:04

[@spottedstar1123]

How are your crocs more controversial than your tabis 😭😭

[@momoonkissed]

The croc slander is so dramatic! Haha I love it

[@tatianacantu4857]

29:46 i had the delia’s craft shoe for a year before they were destroyed but they were my favorites! i ended up buying those unif shoes and a year later they’re still holding up pretty well :) the vibes are slightly different but i think it’s a good replacement

[@csjkscs]

My podiatrist blamed my Converse for the awful bunion on my foot…I had sooooo many! I switched to actual tennis shoes (ON Cloud’s The Roger is my preference) and it changed the game! I kept one pair but they have the stretchy laces so they are a little more forgiving. I don’t have especially wide feet…it was more the rubber piece that goes right over the lower bone of your big toe that was the problem. Just a thought….

[@karli4074]

I love the Jadon oxblood! So good.

[@MaraLoeters]

Ive been wanting to get into shoes! Normally I wear one set of sneakers till they fall apart but I feel with styling for outfits I always get a bit disappointed like the outfit is not complete?? Anyway this definitely gave me inspiration!! Thank uuu

I love my grey Adidas campus sneakers they're super cute n I think they'd fit your style I love them w a maxi skirt and ruffle socks!

[@sarahanditakarina1726]

alexaaa please i have been trying so hard to not buy tabi shoes 🤣

[@bun__]

i'm not too familiar with US or Uk sizing so it's really confusing for me when I online thrifting, I have purchased a number of shoes online thrifting this year and have relied on the centimeter sizing and it all were a nice fit. But yeah buying shoes online sometimes really is a gamble 😭

[@christinamanolopoulos1337]

Try a heel cushion with the boots that are too big! :)

[@LaineMcCoole]

[@DANIxDANGER]

I have those wingback docs. they fit TOO perfect meaning they're a little too small with thicker socks. So i get what you're saying 😭

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

Patent leather is especially hard because it basically have a layer of plastic on them(which makes then shiny). It can be done but it takes longer. Use a hair dryer to heat up the leather and some thick socks.
