Imelda strikes again!

Well, anyone who has been around me for a while might know that I am a little obsessed with shoes. My parents even used to call me Imelda when I was little. I don’t own as many as the woman who is famous for her extensive shoe collection, but I own a few pairs (Jeff would say tons, but I know that I could have more, so I am sticking with the FEW) and I love them all. I like all types, colors, shapes, comfy and impractical shoes. On Saturday, with my “fun money” , I was at the Sunflower Market (GREAT PLACE) and I saw a whole wall of Crocs. Kenny, my brother, had purchased some a few weeks ago and I thought that they were so comfortable (of course I tried his shoes on, I wanted to see if I liked them) and I wanted some for myself. I remembered when I saw the colorful wall and the shoes just called out to me (shoes do that sometimes). I quickly looked for my size and then debated on what color to get, green or blue. I decided I would wear them more often if I picked the blue. I have to admit, I checked out as fast as possible, power walked to my car and immediately put the new shoes on. I was right, they were so comfortable. They do look a little silly and normally I am a fan of the cute shoes, but the last time I bought shoes was in December (my snow boots) and that was rough for me. I think I use to average at least one pair a month. Well, have no fear I have found some shoes to keep me content. New shoes always make for a great day.

You are alive!...in the blogging world that is. Thanks for sharing; they are really cute shoes, and practical, too. WAHOO! You'll have to model them for me when I see you this weekend.

I'm so glad you purchased some comfortable shoes. Among your TONS of shoes, comfort is an attribute that is a little lacking.

They look gray! ...But I can see how they'd be blue. I agree that shoes are great, and I'm glad you spent your fun money on some new ones. Thanks for posting; it's been a while!!

I just bought some crocs...but they're like Mary Janes in a sort of natural tan/copper color. Who would have thought they'd be SO comfortable! I've now joined the Imelda Club.

It's great you can find shoes that can fit. I have wide feet-size triple E and short feet-size 6 and a high arch. It is very hard to find any comfortable shoes, so I am very jealous of your collection. So I have to look for months just to find a comfortable fit, let alone something that looks good. My poor girls are cursed with the same type of foot. Have fun with your shoes!
