Help for a poor sole?

“Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.”

I'll try to keep this simple:
I've had a difficult time finding a pair of shoes the past two months. In my usual stops at Famous Footwear and other local stores I have been unable to find a pair that I liked. I did find a few once, but they did not have any in my size. So this blog entry is a lame request help on the best places to buy shoes!

In a few of my conversations with my farmer-neighbor, the topic of shoes came up. He is quite the internet-shopper and buys his shoes on-line. He also buys seeds and sells his sheep occasionally on-line. He recommended B.A. Mason Shoes. I checked it out and was pretty impressed- except for the fact that once I found a few pairs that I liked, they didn't have my size! I found some of the same shoes at Shoes.com, but wanted to find what places you'd recommend. If you're guy and would be willing to divulge the location of your favorite "shoe-fishing hole," please do! I wear a 10.5 and will be sure that I don't buy the last pair. And you ladies- if you happen to have a little "Imelda Marcos" in you (1,060 pairs?)- or happen to know where the men in your life find their shoes, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I'd appreciate your help. Now that the snow has melted I think people are staring at me for continuing to wear my moon boots everywhere I go...

What in the heck are you staring at?!
GOSH!

I've found good shoes from Shopko, K Mart, Target, WalMart, and Payless. The ones I bought from Payless have been with me for 7 or 8 years.

Here are some sites but I know you already have what you want picked out. These sites are "green" and some are animal cruelty free. Enjoy!

Hey Scott & Anonymous-
Thanks for the feedback & suggestions. All of these are places I have not visited yet or websites I didn't know existed. I like some of the shoes at simpleshoes.com and planetshoes.com.
