no shoes at the shoestore 4/28/2002
I desperately need a new pair of hiking shoes. I tried REI, but couldn’t find any that were quite right. So I went today to a store at a local mall called “Sole Outdoors” that specializes in outdoor footwear. They had exactly 3 styles of women’s hiking shoes and NONE of them in a size smaller than a 7. The saleslady kept telling me that they could order me my size if I was willing to pre-pay. I was too stunned. Pay them $80 to WAIT for an opportunity to TRY ON a pair of shoes?! Surely they could order them just to have them for sale, eh?!
It’s amazing places like that even stay in business. I am feeling pretty discouraged…
