Amazon.com: Aravon Women’s Maura T-Strap Pump,Black,10 D US: Shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnd I have to tell you all the reasons they are so awesome.\u00a0 1.) I always wanted t-strap shoes.\u00a0 There is an old-time class about them without being crazy stuffy (like patent leather).\u00a0 However, the make of most t-strap shoes and the make of my feet never got along.\u00a0 You see, I have a size 10, maybe 10.5 foot that was born flat (of all the things flat feet means, for me the most annoying is width) and I have gotten used to shopping size 11 because all shoe stores carry whole sizes in medium\/narrow width.\u00a0 Sizing up doesn’t help with certain shoe designs, like a t-strap.\u00a0 But THESE SHOES come in wide and half sizes.\u00a0 With the ultimate comfort of leather molding to the foot as it warms and a great insole: these are comfy!<\/p>\n
2.) I was already captured by the construction and size options while ‘window’ shopping.\u00a0 I figured I’d save up for the ~$120 purchase (~ for inaccurate memory).\u00a0 A week ago, I was going over my saved shopping list and saw that they had been repriced at ~$36.\u00a0 Holy Cannoli, Batman!\u00a0 I must have those shoes.<\/p>\n
3.) Even though I was relatively hopeful because of the sizing and construction (boxy toe for my Birkenstock feet), I have only had few and bad experiences buying shoes online.\u00a0 But they came and they are the awesomest of awesome.\u00a0 I wore them all yesterday with only a couple tiny spots on my feet that will need breaking in.<\/p>\n
I am now greedy and spoiled.\u00a0 I need to replace my brown shoes as well with something equally as awesome…and, I am having no luck.\u00a0 Truly amazing shoes are, after all, few and far between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
