Frivolous shoe question

ldmom…confession…your post made me go visit Zappos today (which is a site we do use)…and look around with one of my D’s in mind and it is time consuming to say the least. I saved some to favorites to show her. I don’t pick out my kids’ clothes. But they don’t have a lot of time and also if they are home (which is rare), we don’t have the greatest shoe selection. So, sometimes, when they say what they are looking for (a type, a color), I’ll go through pages and pages on sites like Zappos and save any samples of ones that seem to be what they are looking for that I think are cute, knowing each of their tastes and then I will send them the links (if they are away) or show them at home and they put them side by side on the screen and have ordered that way.Unfortunately, from time to time, they don’t fit and it can get expensive to return and resend the right size. For my D who is in Europe right now, she had looked for shoes here before she left and couldn’t find any and so we ordered them from Steve Madden and it took three shipments to get the one that fit. Usually that doesn’t happen but it did once with my other D from Zappos. So, my kids pick 'em too but I sometimes do groundwork and do the searches to narrow down thousands of shoes to ten or so, and share them to save them time which they don’t have with their hectic schedules.

I do recall Sam and Libby, yep.

But now you got me to want to look up Me Too and French Sole!

EDIT…I looked…French Sole is not in our budget.
