Shoes, shoes, shoes....

I like shoes. Unfortunately, shoe makers don't like me...I see shoes I lust over, and then, lo and behold, I can't wear them. I'm on a board where there are many shoe-loving women, and I look at the shoes longingly...

It doesn't help me when I have the perfect outfit, but no shoes. Sigh. Dressing my feet is even harder than dressing my body. And for your information, 5 1/2 or 6 (at the most) Wide, sometimes WW. According to the shoe fitting chart, I'm supposed to be 5 1/2 EEE *snort* Ummm, no. I am not wearing ugly shoes, thank you, which is the only thing that comes in that size.

ok, I hear you saying you see lots of cute shoes in a 5.5...all narrow. Narrow, narrow, narrow. And I have a high arch, which complicates matters.

But all I would like, really and truly, are some cute shoes. Something to dress up an outfit, something to dress down... I need dressy shoes, I'm dying for a pair of something racy, something in a red...

Ironically, the place I've found most of my shoes? Payless. They have reasonably cute shoes in wides. But they are cheap. And made in China, which hurts my moral values...
