shoes

[redbird]

I went to the New Balance factory store today* and, with the help of two salespeople, found a pair of shoes that I think fits. I bought it, then treated myself to a hot fudge sundae before coming home.

By the time I got home my feet hurt, which is from either trying on shoes that didn't fit, or the amount of walking I did in my old shoes. I will wear these around the house for a few days to break them in and confirm that they fit.

If they fit, I'm going to go back and buy another pair in a different color; if not, I'll return them, regretfully. I also want to see about sandals, and have a few stores in mind, but shoe shopping is so often frustrating that I wasn't going to try a second shoe store today.

*meaning Friday, which is yesterday by the computer clock.

I hope they fit so you can get a second pair and be done with it for a while. I've always had trouble with ankles/feet and getting shoes with proper support. Finally got custom insoles made a couple years ago. Insurance paid for it. Finding shoes they work in is a challenge. Lower pain levels is a plus.
