New Shoes

[Prudence]

For me: they're the one item of clothing I can buy that's likely to fit. I can walk into any shoe store and grab a size 8. For the most part, I don't have to deal with being a 6 in some manufacturers and a 12 in others. I can shop in the same store with everyone else, no short or fat issues. I don't have to take off my clothes to see if shoes fit. I don't have to wait in line for a dressing room and ponder whether they have cameras aimed into the changing rooms. I can express my mood through shoe selection.

What she said.

Though I can't always buy the same size, it's easier to find a pair of shoes that fit than a shirt of pair of pants.
