I decided it was time for a new pair of shoes, seeing as how it’s been almost a decade since I purchased my current pair of Dexters. I paid a visit to Robert’s Shoes in south Minneapolis and found a nice pair of all-purpose loafers that should look quite natty on me. But I’ll be damned if I could find a pair of sandals that (a) fit me and (b) didn’t look like ass. Perhaps I should take this as a hint that the general public doesn’t want to see my bare, slightly swollen feet.
Hey!
You might try REI or Eddie Bauer for some sandals. They have some pretty cool ones that have adjustable straps that would be good for swollen feet. Another place might be a wide width shoe store. They have nicer shoes these days…..not so ass looking! Can totally relate!
Harriet Mc Bryde Johnson, whom you know, describes the shoes she preferred to wear: soft cotton shoes , made in India.
I hope you are bying a pair of crocks too, but real ones, not the chinese cheap immitations, because they are a marvel. Computer-designed, light and warm, but yet they let your feet breathe. I suppose the skin is an assistant to our lungs. You could wear thin cotton (fil d’écosse) socks in them, or wear them naked.
With naked feet I mean! Although, on second thought, naked with crocks would make a nice picture – for your holiday album.
