Shopping for shoes


Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. I’ll come out and say it, I have a big foot.  Usually, I wear a size 11.  I have been on the search for a new pair of shoes because the ones I have been wearing are starting to go downhill.

Last Sunday we looked briefly for some shoes but no luck. This last week Mom and I looked online at Famous Footwear and they seem to have quite a variety of shoes in the right size.  

We went to the Woodburn Company stores today specifically to the Famous Footwear store to see what they have.

I saw a pair of Eurostep shoes online and they were also available in the store.  That hardly ever happens. Now it was time to try them on and see if they fit.  

Last week I tried a pair and I felt like one of Cinderella’s stepsisters trying to force her foot into the glass slipper. :)  

When I tried them on they seemed big so I tried the size 10 and they were a perfect fit. That was the only pair I found at Famous Footwear.

We walked down to the Columbia store where they were having a sale on shoes.  It was 30% and 70% off certain shoes. I bought a pair of tennis shoes which I haven’t had in a while.

There also were two pairs of shoes that would be perfect to wear with dresses and skirts and still be comfortable at the library.

It was $260 worth of shoes for $120. It was a pretty good deal. 


What size foot do you have? Do you buy shoes online?

  1. Hey there Cinderella,

    You really are my princess, God gave you a good "under" standing. I am so glad we found some shoes and it was definitely worth our "trip". I hope you enjoy them. Good shopping. Now we need to go look for clothes. Love The Queen Mom
    Oh, I wear about a 9, and have never bought online except we have now for dad once.

  2. I like the shoes you picked out! The colors are very pretty, and you got a great deal! : )

    I wear a size 8 1/2 wide. I have several different pairs of Birkenstocks that I buy from QVC. I can't fit into most sandals since my feet are wide, so the Birkenstocks are great for accommodating my wide foot. : )

    I also bought a pair of all white Ryka tennis shoes (sneakers) from QVC, in a 9 wide, since they didn't have my size. They fit perfectly.

    I've also bought from Zappos.com, because they have free shipping if you need to return the shoes, plus they have pretty good sales, and people write a lot of good reviews.

    In the fall and winter, I have a pair of Clark's suede zip up ankle boots that I got from QVC. I like QVC, because a lot of times you can get easy pay, and stretch the payments out.

    1. Hey Michelle, I wore the green pair today and they were super comfy all day. I am very excited about them. I have heard of zappos.com. That is nice they have free shipping. I didn't know that.

      I was really surprised that a size 10 fit but I am thinking Europe must make a big size 10.
