I had just about given up on the shoe thang. But then, last night, I went into that bastion of cheapness, Payless Shoes, and found a miracle awaiting me.
Yup...a pair of short boots in a size 5 wide.
How very amazing...!
And much less than everything else I'd be considering.
True, they're not very pretty - very simple, in fact, and they still have a zipper rather than lacing up *sigh*.
But the absolute "best" part was that, in this particular Payless, the size 5's are right next to the kid's shoes. So I got to try on shoes while listening to some obnoxious kiddy TV show...and even better, I had to go find a regular mirror because all of the ones where I was were funhouse mirrors, meant to amuse the kidlets while the mommies are shoe-shopping.
Oh yeah. I feel 32.

Date: 2002-02-06 05:41 am (UTC)while I always get my shoes (not my regualr shoes, as those are special expensive ones) at payless I have not ever had that joy....
of course being a size 8-9 might have something to do with that?
Glad you found some boots that work!!
At least there were no annyoing KIDS in the store.... just an annoying TV show (yeah those can be really bad, i don't know what I'll do when I have kids ~ugh~)
You mean you're not going to see if you like your shoes based on fun-house mirrors??
