When I was in New Orleans last weekend, I found this GREAT pair of shoes. They were amazingly comfortable (probably the most comfortable shoes I'd put on in a while), but still stylish. The color would go with absolutely everything. I was smitten.
Unfortunately, they cost $80. So I started to reason with myself. I thought, "Well, I'll try them on. Maybe they won't look right on my feet or something." (That was before I'd tried them on.) For one thing, it took me several minutes to get a salesperson's attention to get a pair of 7.5s from the back for me to try on. Finally, I grabbed someone ... it took several more minutes before she re-appeared with the shoes.
She abandoned me while I tried them on. Stood up. "Good." Walked over to the mirror. "Very good." Took a look at them in the mirror. "Perfect. I'll take them!"
"Hmm, but I should probably go with about a half-size smaller. Where's the salesperson?" Absolutely nowhere to be found. So I try getting the attention of someone else. No luck. I finally see the original girl across the store, try getting her attention; she ignores me. Nice.
At that point, I was slightly annoyed. So I decided, "Screw this. I'll just buy them online." I placed the shoes on a chair and calmly walked out.
The only problem is ... I have looked for these shoes online TWICE since I've been back home. NO LUCK! I am so irritated! They were perfect! And because of those crappy salespeople, I'm now without these perfect shoes!
Best I can find is the style of shoe in a different color:
They're Privo by Clarks (style is "Mesa," I believe). All I can find is black, orange, red, white and this aloe color. No, no, NO! I want them in stone! Like these:
