What kind of Shoe are You?

My blogger buddy, over at Menopause Thru Margaritaville posted this quiz and after taking the quiz, this is what it told me:


You Are Bare Feet



You are a true free spirit, and you can't be tied down.

Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times!



You are very comfortable in your own skin.

You are one of the most real people around. You don't have anything to hide.



Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic.

You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental.



You should live: Somewhere warm



You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules


Yep. That's me. Riding bareback and barefoot on my painted horse is one of my favorite things to do. Rubbing my tootsies over my painted girl's soft fur. And if the ground were less prickly...and my feet prettier, I'd be barefoot all the time.

What kind of shoe are YOU?

It says I'm a barefoot gal too. Great toes think alike.

OK...I have done this test TWICE, and tweaked my answers a little bit, and I STILL come back as a clog!!!!

A clog???? Actually, the answer describes me pretty accurately, so how is that for scary???!!!

It looks like you and Val had a lot of fun on your ride the other night. What a great friend she seems to be :)

I came out a Cowboy Boot! Love it. And I posted it. Thanks for the fun.

I'm a cowboy boot!
But on the first question- my primary reason in buying shoes, and most any other piece of clothing, is COST! I always shop the bargain bins.
And the other question- a perfect afternoon, what about going for a horseback ride??

I, too, am a cowboy boot! What fun. And i love the photos of your night time ride. I love to ride in the evening.

Hey, Melanie, I'm a clog too. Sounds *yech* at first, but it's growing on me. I have to say though, that I think I moonlight as a 'barefoot' quite often. And if you think of it, one just slips one's bare foot into a clog, so they're pretty close.

I saw this quiz at Meg's too (gotta love that gal!) and I was a cowboy boot!

But from what I've read of your blog so far I think that barefoot definitely fits you :)

Laura said...

Lisa - thanks for the nice comments on my blog.

I answered your questions on my blog, but thought I would leave a comment here too...

I'm not Polish, my friend who was at my place when I brought tge kitten home was and she named him. Thanks for the nice comments on my Dad and so sorry about your Mom - that must have been unbelievably tough!

I'd be quite happy barefoot all the time. When I do have to give in and put on socks (I so hate socks!) it's my cozy wool socks to pad around the house in. Did you know you can check the mail, in the snow, and not get your feet wet while wearing a good wool sock? I swear, it's true.

I'm a cowboy boot. None of the answers were really what I would have answered, so I picked the closest thing. If it were more accurate with more answers to choose from, I'm sure I would have been an Ariat paddock boot.

Hi Melanie and Carolynn, You know I'm just going to tell you what I told my blogger buddy, CeeCee.

Even though I am a barefoot gal, I actually LIVE in clogs during the winter. It's the second best thing to barefoot when it's cold outside. They are quick to slip on to run outside to gather chicken eggs or feed the horse, yet your feet still feels free and warm :)

Clogs are cool, ladies!

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

Sugarcreekstuff! I just KNEW it!! We are kindred sisters, running barefoot whenever we can (in places without cacti below are toes! hehe)

Seasons Eatings Farm,
Oh wow! Tanks for stopping by. I always love when you visit my blog and leave such friendly comments. Ya know, I don't even own any wool socks. I am going to be getting me a pair...just so I can walk through the snow. Or maybe I can knit some before winter! I'm working on my spinning right now, using some gorgeous alpaca/soy protein/corriedale roving. Now wouldn't that make a cozy sock?

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

Hy Molly,
Thanks for stopping by. I've not yet visited your blog yet, but the name is interesting to me. So it looks like I'll be a visitor soon, too.

Hi Val,
I know, there were enough answers to choose acurately from. First of all, none of those cities interested me at all. But I chose Austin because it's close to New Mexico and is more 'western' than the others. haha

Hi Saddle Mountain,
Thanks! How often do you get to ride at night? I've only done it twice, but hope to go again soon. Maybe one day on my own horse. haha!

Hi Laura, I appreciate your kindness. Yes, it was tough, especially in my teen and early twenties, when a gal sort of needs a loving supportive Mom around.
But what do they say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?" haha

NM, I just knew you'd be a cowboy boot. YOu have confidance to the max, what with riding those spookin', buckin' Arabian beauties of yours withour hardly blinking eye, and always keeping a firm seat in the saddle.
I would have been shocked had the quiz told me I was a cowboot. I don't even own any cowboy boots! haha

Hey CND Cowgirl,
Now I knew you'd be a cowgirl boot. And it seems like you've gotten to know me a bit from my blog, too. hehe :)

LOL!! That's me too!! I was born a bare footer, I think. It actually runs in the family. My dad goes bare foot year round, even in these cold MI winters. I swear he's half hobbit or something! ;)

Holy Moly, I'm the only sneaker! :D

It says:

You are creative, funky, and forward thinking.
You are cool, but you are still approachable.

You are stylish and edgy, but you aren't a slave to fashion.
You tend to put your own spin on trends.

You tend to have a fast paced, busy lifestyle.
Not a lot of people can keep up with you!

You should live: Near nature

You should work: In a job that keeps you on the go.

^^that is SOOO totally me! LOL

cdncowgirl said...

"Cowgirl boot" lol that's what I call them usually too!

Thanks for the kind comments on Sophie. One of the funniest stories of her "stealing" was when I took her to the vet for "THE visit" (spay)
I went to get her blanket from her kitty bed to put in the kennel and therer was over $20 worth of money (in coin) under the blanket!
I told Pie that she knew what was coming and was trying to save enough money to run away from home. lol

Farm Mom,
Yeppers, we're kindred barefoot sisters, too!
That's funny about your hubby and his hobbity feet. My one son WANTS to be a hobbit. Asked me to make hairy coverings for his feet for Halloween! hehehe :D

Oh wow, Mel! That is TOTALLY you!
I love your forward, mature thinking...wise beyond your years. and I love that you are cool and hip(is that still a word?), yet also very approachable for all ages of people.
And you already live near nature, actually surrounded by nature...and it makes you so happy :)

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

hahaha CDN Cowgirl! What a clever girl. I thought it was so interesting that you had a klepto cat, too. I had never heard of such a thing before. haha!

Christy said...

I NEVER go barefoot! I hate to be barefoot. I always wear socks, and I do mean always. Sandals are unheard of in my life. My son and hubby are always barefoot or in sandals. I think I'm just too uptight or something to be barefoot.

It's funny that I came up as a clog because I've never worn clogs. I live in hiking boots year round.

Dan and Betty said...

Turns out I'm a clod - or is it clog? I can't remember.

Oh, well, it was fun.

Thanks for sharing.

Dan

Carla said...

Ack, how did I fail to post my answer? I think it was because I was so dismayed at being a clog!

GreyWolf said...

I only put shoes on when absolutely neccesary and thats not often. And as farm mom said I even go outside in the winter snow barefooted (not as much now as in my younger days). BTW I am her dad not her husband! I have even been known to run on a gravel road or through the woods barefoot. (That's where our local bigfoot sitings come from.)Besides size 13EEEE shoes are hard to come by and expensive too! And yes I have hairy feet too.
