If the Shoe Fits

This post is actually about shoes. I'm 50 & when I was in my teens to early to mid 20's, I seemed to always find cute shoes. Now, I've never been a woman to have a multitude of shoes. I think the most pairs I've ever had were six at a time. I mainly like sneakers, but, also flats. I like to have a few for everyday & also for a little more dressy. For some reason, 20+ years ago, the stores I used to buy my shoes at, such as, Payless, stopped having the type I considered more fun. With different patterns. That's for sneakers. For loafers & such I want those basic & black, usually. It's also been difficult to find my size. 7 1/2 wide. It wasn't the 7 1/2 that was the issue. It was the wide. So I've had to get 8 or 8 1/2. Three years ago I decided to purchase a pair of sneakers online. They were flowered. Lavender & three different shades of blue. And the correct size. I had held off getting shoes online, because, it's one thing I do like to be able to try on first. Though, I've bought clothes & undergarments that way & they've been fine. I liked that pair & since I've had a good experience, I've done it several more times. Including, getting a pair of ankle boots. All worked well. I do like to make purchases online, as, it's more relaxing, more options & better deals. Has anyone else bought shoes online? If it went well, which site(s) would you recommend?

I have not bought it for my self. But I ordered for my children and hubby from amazon. It was a good choice.

Hi, Sreekala. I've bought other items from Amazon, but, haven't found shoes or clothes I like on there. Though, I know, new people are always joining there to sell, so, it's good to check every so often.

Hi, Mitchelle. There's a Payless here where I live, but, the patterns they have are pretty basic. The site seemed to be the same. I should check, from time to time, to see if they have anything different.

Oh gosh. I've purchased plenty of shoes online. I really need some more shoes. Hopefully shoes will be in my future.

Hi, Teep. My thing is bracelets. I might have a few more shoes, eventually. Living in a studio, with my best friend, two kitties & two small dogs, we're limited with space. How many pairs do you have?

I wear flat shoes. When I was single, my shoe size is 8. After giving birth to 2 kids, my shoe size became 9!

Hi, Aubrey. I know feet can swell during pregnancy. It sounds like they stayed that size even after you had your kids. I wasn't aware that could happen.
