New Sandals

I’ve mentioned in previous posts my love for shoes. Summer is coming on, and I really “needed” a pair of comfortable walking sandals. I had a pair that I loved and were truly comfortable – wore them almost every day for several summers – almost totally wore them out. I have bought several pairs of sandals in recent years only to find that after I wear them a little while they are totally uncomfortable. I think they would be comfortable on someone else, but my feet are kind of narrow and they didn’t fit me as well as they should.

So, last week, after looking at one of the big stores that have rows and rows and rows and rows of shoes that you try on yourself, I went to Dillards. That’s where I bought the last pair of sandals that I liked so well. Well, I ended up buying these sandals. I can’t believe I paid as much for them as I did. I paid more for these shoes than any I have ever bought. But, they are totally adjustable and fit my narrow feet. I won’t tell you how much I paid. I told my daughter the day after I bought them. She dropped by the house for a few minutes and I showed her my new shoes. When I told her how much they cost, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. I wouldn’t want that to happen to you, so I won’t tell you. I think they will be worth it in the long run. I expect them to last for many years. Now, I’m going to get rid of all those sandals that are uncomfortable.
