I have heard that women love to shop for shoes. Personally, I don't enjoy shoe shopping that much, but there are few things that make my girls happier than a new pair of shoes. I thought I'd share the results of our recent shopping expedition. I found it entertaining because each one of them was happy for a different reason.
Megan and Heather walk home from the bus most days. On a recent raining day, Megan advised me that her feet were soggy by the time she got home. Confused, I asked why. So she showed me her shoes.
Yikes! Both shoes had split on the sole.
Her new shoes look pretty spiffy!
Megan was ecstatic because she went from a childrens' size 4.5 to a WOMENS size 5.5. She's in the big league now!
Heather usually wears white socks so this week when she was wearing black socks it came as a surprise to see her toes sticking out the side of her shoes. What happened?!
She loves these sleek new shoes.
Heather was happy because a) she no longer had the extra ventilation on the side and b) because she went from a women's 8.5 to a women's 9.5. That means she wears the same size as Emily and she grew TWO SIZES since August. No wonder her toes burst out the sides! I need to stop feeding that girl before she grows out of everything she owns.
Emily's old shoes
You can't see it, but the rubber trim is falling off and separating from the sole.
Emily's new shoes
Emily didn't make much of a change, in either style or size. She is still in the same size (which I hope means she has stopped growing!) and she picked the same basic style as before....and before that....and before that. However, she and I both like the blue plaid version better than the solid black she has always had. I like the nod to femininity. She likes the fact that I allowed her to purchase shoes I would normally consider "LOUD". I thought these were cute, though.
All things considered, it was a successful shoe search. And the best part? Payless was having a SALE! Yahoo!
