It never fails

I make bad snap purchasing decisions. I needed to replace my black heels that are falling apart. The store was about 95 degrees, very full of irritated people, with no room to sit or move through clogged aisles. I found a pair of shoes, bought them, and fled. The shoes that I thought fit ok in the store are most certainly too big. I'm rattling around in them. Sigh. I guess I'll have to get some inserts.

At least I didn't pay very much for them.

Can you not return them if they don't fit? There's nothing worse than shoes that aren't comfortable, especially heels...

I have the opposite problem -- I find a thing I love, goggle at the price, spend about half a hour waffling on whether or not to buy it, decide to be virtuous and save money, and then find myself longing for the item (and often hunting for it) months to years later. Next time I'm'a just spend the damn $80. :P

...she says, not running out to buy the two pairs of shoes she's had her eye on for the last two months.

Maybe take your old heels to a shoe repair shop?

I'd considered this. But the heels are damaged, the toes are damaged, the inside is falling apart, and the buttons are scratched. (These shoes are something like four years old, I think, and have taken heavy wear.) I don't think there's enough undamaged shoe left to be worth trying to fix.

I'm more likely to do this, too. :)
