I have these sandals that I wear whenever I'm not at work or whenever I have to walk long distances. They were over a year old when I moved to Hawaii, and I've given them some serious mileage since then, so they're in pretty bad shape. In addition, even though they are sandals and supposed to be the airiest things one can have on one's feet, they kind of make my feet stink. Conclusion: time for new sandals.
I went to this store at the Ala Moana Center called "Robins," which is a store for sensible shoes as well as shoes for old people. And I found these sandals that looked amazing. They had arch support, a shock absorber in the heel, and they looked super sturdy. The hitch: they were $84.99...kind of pricey for sandals. After looking around and finding nothing else, I decided to at least try them on.
They were the absolute most comfortable things that have ever been on my feet. Heavenly, these shoes were. So I bought them. They officially became the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever purchased.
After I went home, I went on the internet to find these shoes, and I found them on Amazon. And they were totally cheaper! The pair I bought (Oil Green) were $53.56, with no tax, and free shipping. Also, because Amazon is amazing, I could pay with miles from my credit card, so I ended up only paying just shy of $25 for them. Granted, I have to go back to Ala Moana Center and deal with returning the shoes, but I can totally deal with that.
So yeah, I'm patting myself on the back, because I am AMAZING at shopping.
