27/ Shoes
Sierra Trading Post is my favorite place to buy shoes online. I don't buy them often, and they're always off-season clearance items. I've had mostly good results. But (you knew there would be a but) the last pair I bought—months ago—are too narrow. They're a 9M, but they fit like a 9N. Wedge-heel sandals with one gold strap and one tan in a snakeskin pattern, they're so pretty (although you might not have guessed that from my description, so here's a photo!) and otherwise so comfortable that I couldn't bear to send them back. I convinced myself that they weren't as narrow as they seemed, and they might very well fit me when summer came. I was wrong.

Oh, the shoes we allow ourselves to believe will be OK...
ReplyDeleteLOL And assorted other things . . .
DeleteI love a good wedge. I went through a crocs phase (not the big ugly crocs, their more normal shoes) and have a couple pairs of crocs wedges that I love to wear.
ReplyDeletePretty! Sorry they are too narrow.
ReplyDeleteWedges are good. Narrow shoes are painful. And buying shoes when it is cooler, and think they'll still be okay in the heat of summer ... been there, done that.
