    what the hell are fmb's?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    If you don't already know agent smith, I don't think there's any point in someone telling you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    agent smith that's sad.
    Fuck Me Boots


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    What is the difference between a fmb and a non-fmb boot, out of curiosity?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    fmb's are generally dressier, sexier boots. mine have much higher heels and fit reeeeaally snugly.
    i dunno really, hard to describe. ya just know... i usually wear them when heading out on the pull or when i want to look edible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    1 pair boots (flat)
    1 pair airwalks

    1x ballet slippers
    1x pointe shoes

    Planning to add a pair of New Rocks to that collection at some point, still considering whether or not its a good investment seeing as I have so many pairs of shoes already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Jesus Christ, women have a lot of shoes.

    I used to strictly be a one pair man, but I've realised it makes more sense to have other functional footwear so that your €100 runners aren't gone in 6 months.

    1 x Vans - going out/casual
    1 x Nike Max Air (for the gym, painfully expensive)
    1 x Dunnes Stores steel toe work boots, for driving the bike
    1 x No name formalish shoes for work.

    I need a new pair of shoes for work actually...

    I'm in a similar predicament. I'm a 3, most children's shoes stop at 2 and it's hard to find ladies' shoes that are smaller than a four(but not exactly impossible, thankfully). Most of the time I have to settle for a size four and wear thick socks or tights.
