New shoes!!!

[Sweet Pea]

I bought new shoes today. They're hiking boots. I was so excited I had to wear them out of the shoe store. I felt like a little kid. Then I went hiking!!

What kind of new shoes do you have?

Huffle.....I saw a girl yesterday with a matching pair like yours! Must be a fad now!!

I bought new shoes yesterday, too! I'd been looking for the black maryjane Sketchers for months....since last March, to be exact.....I've looked in 3 states, in fact, but never found the right size/color/style combination. And yesterday, in my own little hometown, wouldn't ya know, I just ran across them sitting there waiting for me!! AND...they were on sale....saved $15! Highlight of my day!

I hike in the Sierras near Tehachapi. Do you know the area?

Re: New shoes!!!

I bought about 10 pairs of shoes today for my daughter. Michaels (the craft store) had 90% off of their shoes and had crox or whatever you call them, these tennis shoe looking things-the kind with no ties, and flip flops. You can decorate them if you want, of course, being in a craft store, or they look nice plain. What a deal though 19 cents!!!!! I bought so many different colors. And then on your receipt you get a coupon for 40% off of your next purchase so I will go back and but some stuff for my daughter to decorate her shoes with.

Re: New shoes!!!

Sweet Pea - Where did you get your hiking boots? Were they comfortable from the start, when you first put them on? I don't like to "break" in new shoes - that always means blisters.

I got mine at a local store rather than a chain. The brand is Hi-Tech. The style was discontinued, so I got a SMOKIN' deal on them! I've had hikers that were both made from swede with a fabric inlay as well as hikers that were smooth leather, all types offering some ankle support. I'll never own another pair of smooth leather boots again. They break me in rather than the other way around. *yuck*

Yes, the were comfy from the start. I got them maybe half a size too big so I could wear two pairs of socks. I've put about 5 hill miles on them so far with no blisters at all.
