Confession is good for the soul, right? Do atheists have souls?
I have a shoe problem. I always have had one, ever since I was in high school and wore a size 4. Did you ever try to buy big girl shoes in a size 4? Don't waste your time. They barely exist. So if I liked a shoe and it fit, I bought it. My mom wore a small size 4, so she is the one who taught me to get them if they fit.
Luckily my feet got a little bigger through the years. I had a child, and I did many years of high impact aerobics and now wear a 5.5/6 shoe. At least it's a big girl size, almost.
Then a few years back I had those crushed nerves in my right foot and after surgery I wanted to wear sandals to Las Vegas instead of the most attractive shoes my doctor made me wear. He said, "If you are going to wear sandals, you are going to wear Birkenstock." Well, I bought a pair and haven't needed him since. They do wonders for my feet, knees, back, and hips. I live in the damn shoes.
The Birks fit me and they have many, many styles. They make sandals, clogs, and shoes. Oh, the choices! I usually wear Birki sandals with a back strap to walk. I walk miles and miles in these sandals, and prefer them to "good walking shoes." The support is great and the comfort is incredible. Birki is a division of Birkenstock.
So imagine my distress to find that this particular sandal is being discontinued in the narrow widths. Any Birkenstock product lasts a long, long time, but I walk a long, long ways! What's a girl to do? I just got 3 pair of black sandals delivered today :)
It was all they had left in my size.

That bites, why is it when you find something that you can't live without, something always screws it up...
I hope you are able to make those shoes last a long time.

lucky for you, you have a small narrow foot. i have a big wide, flipper!
I am back in bed with my back, taking a Rush Limbaugh each time I hit one of those HIGH PITCHED screams. My back MAKES forces me to scream, I have NO control over it (my scream causes my dogs to howl at the moon). Could it be the Eiffel Tower shoes I've worn while giving speeches over the years!?!
NNNAAAWWWW!!!! Couldn't be . . . I WOULD admit it if I had a problem. Sure I would.

Do they come with a tie-dyed t-shirt? Do you wear them with socks? I'd stay away from WalMart and LPGA events.
I wear a five and a half. I also love my birkis, in fact, I am wearing them right now--with a tie dyed shirt.
Suzy, I'm glad you got the last three pair of black sandals in your size!
Best wishes,
