Hi Girls,
Got the chance to go shopping yesterday and of course have a wonderfull time but...
I wanted some new shoes. (I allways want new shoes, sigh!)
Why are the sizes so screwy? In drab mode I need one size and that takes care of all my needs. You know tennis shoes, dress shoes, even work boots.
To find a correct fit in my fun stuff is a challenge. My ladys shoes range in size from 9 1/2 regular to 11 wide, no rime or reason I can find. It does not seem to make a differance if I am buying flats or heels, open toe or boots!
This has forced me to just go ahead and try them on in the store. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy that now but has taken many years to get to that point. Tried on the heels I bought yesterday and thank goodness I did as my first guess was way off for size.
Grabbed a pair of 11's first as they eyeballed close but ended up with a pair in 10 wide. Had to try the in between 10 1/2 also and know I got some looks in the process.
When I started no one else was in that isle but two GG's pushed their carts down into my space and I already had the heels on so what was a girl to do? I kept trying on untill I had found my fit because I figured I was cought anyway and rushing off without my prize did not make any sence at that point.
I think I am getting braver or more stubborn in my old age. Of course I was out of town and knew those ladys did not know me so that made it easier.
Ok I have rambeled on enough.
Hugs Krystal.
