retail therapy

almost every weekend, brad and i have good intentions of getting lots of work done. inevitably, we get so tired of doing homework that we decide to go to the mall to just peruse the merchandise. today was unlike any other day, and we made lists of things we wanted to look for (some new music, a few wintery shirts, etc) while on our expedition. we both have been looking for some comfy shoes that we could wear that are in between nice dressy shoes and bulky tennis shoes...we want comfort for all that shopping we do nowadays! so we set out for the provo towne center mall. i found these shoes, and i L-O-V-E them: i dont have any shoes like them, and they are very comfortable. perfect for running errands and just chilling out (besides, i really dislike wearing tennis shoes unless im doing something really active). yes, i was skeptical at first, but i really liked how they felt. but here's the problem...i need a size 9. i tried it on in black, and it fit perfectly. they only had it in brown up to an 8.5 at either store in the mall that carried them. brad and i thought the easy solution was to order them online. after an hour of looking, we still couldn't find them ANYWHERE on the internet. no one has this shoe in this color in a 9! im very sad. is this shoe really that popular? i'm set on these now, and i will not budge until i get them! i think ive decided to see if they have them anywhere in a 10. better than nothing.
