Oh man. Still working on the shoe wardrobe piece of furniture. I hate admitting these failures. These are among the first shoes I cyber stalked - saw these and another couple of pairs on an online site and they were a great bargain. And so I bought them, because I am on a lifelong quest for basic black pumps. I just cannot get it right, though. Soon after Elizabeth was born, my interest in shoes began to grow exponentially - I think it definitely has something to do with not gaining weight in the feet, so shoes nearly always fit. Plus I had that co-worker who became a friend who teased me about my shoe collection, while I feigned horror at her shoe collection (well, I wasn't feigning all that much as she seriously owned the worse shoes ever).
Anyway, so there I was paying a lot of attention to shoes, found these online, and went back and forth on ordering the 7.5s or 8s. Today I'd definitely order 8s, but I really am slightly in between those sizes. So I went with 7.5s. And they really are too tight. I wore them once to work thinking, oh suede, they'll stretch just fine. But yowza, they were painful. They've been sitting in the shoe wardrobe thing-y for years and I just need to admit they are not magically going to stretch out.
Bottom line: Sigh. This pains me. Discard........
