Happy Shoes

I was dreading buying new shoes. I am finicky about my feet and what  I put on them. Since Inow have a problem with my left leg ( it is there and it is in pain on a constant basis ) that makes the hunt for the elusive pair of shoes that fit, are cheap and make my feet comfortable when I hobble around not so easy. But today I lucked out. There is a yard sale down the street every weekend or so with several of the little old ladies that live here. I usually troll for books when I go to yard sales and this was mainly clothes and shoes and a few odds and ends. I talked with the ladies who were having the sale and I mentioned I might join them to sell some things ( I mainly will have books and clothes ) and they said to bring em on out when I decide to do that. Most of my stuff is still in storage and it will be nice to have a place to sell stuff once I get things from the storage into my apartment. But the good news today was I found 4 pair of shoes for a buck each. Wooohooohoooo! OH YEAH! There were gently used running shoes including a pair of Nike Air. I was expecting to have to go out and spend some premium bucks on running shoes as the two pair I have are basically trashed major big time. So now I am flush for shoes for another year or so. The third pair of shoes are a bit of a novelty and since they fit I got them, a pair of brown leather gladiator shoes. Cool! So my legs and feet are happy for me today. Now if I could ONLY find a pair of black granny shoes in a 8 medium... ( I will probably find these on the some day when my prince will come and not expecting that to happen any time soon if ever.. )

I can so relate to the shoe dilemma. I no longer care what they look like as long as they feel good. I even bought some "croc" knock-offs at WalMart last spring and find them to be quite comfy as my feet are wide. Another trick I found was to buy men's slippers (have them on now). Enjoy your "new" shoes!
