KAPLAH!
The year of the rat has already been good to me. Not only am I employed, but I have shoes.
Anyone who enjoys shoe shopping obviously does not wear a size 5. Shoe-shopping for tiny feet is a frustrating affair that regularly leaves me holding back tears. I couldn't even find shoes in Los Angeles. Even massive warehouses will only order about one pair of size 5's per style (I am not exaggerating--an associate told me this), and those get snapped up immediately. So by the time I need shoes, no place has anything that fits and suits my purposes.
No place except, this time around, the clearance rack at Macy's.
I found two pairs there, and one pair on clearance at a warehouse.
I have kicked the No-Shoes-Monster's butt today. I have a pair for everyday and two dressier pairs to wear to work. ALL ON CLEARANCE. And two of them, yes, are technically 5.5, but with a couple little pad thingies they work great!
Now, with all the admitted demand for smaller shoes, why don't the buyers working for these places actually take a hint and buy more smaller shoes? They don't even have to buy a LOT more. Just...MORE. I want cute shoes sometimes. I end up only seeing them in size 6 or above, not because the manufacturer didn't make any smaller ones, but because the store didn't BUY them. 'Cause, y'know, people with tiny feet don't want cute shoes. People with tiny feet can all go shop in the kid's section. Blech on them.
But today, I FOUND SHOES. I had to travel 100 miles and search all day, but I FOUND SHOES.
