I was lucky that my friend who already owned several pairs wore the same size shoe as me, and I knew how they would fit.

I can so relate to your relief that you discovered the reason for the sound of the dinging BEFORE announcing it to the men at the tire shop!<br /><br />I'll have to check out those shoes, if I can find a place that sells them locally, so I can try them on first.<br />Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-32241162381222845822019-11-18T10:45:26.487-06:002019-11-18T10:45:26.487-06:00New shoes and new shoes!

Having no car payment is worth the little hassles, though. (And as I'm typing this response, I'm remembering that I need to get the vehicles in for oil changes--thanks!)<br />I'll have to look into that shoe brand. My latest favorite brand is BZees. (My feet never get tired when I wear them, not even if I've been walking around a theme park all day long!)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572626950558179575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-28540644130951825982019-11-18T10:07:41.638-06:002019-11-18T10:07:41.638-06:00Oh dear, you drive a minivan.

Some garages might have taken advantage of the situation.
