But, They Were So Cheap!
Woman in the Middle | October 6, 2015I have a few pairs of shoes I paid really good money for. I have a few pairs of shoes that were cheap to begin with and so were cheap to buy. Then there are my bargains.
We used to have a J.C. Penney’s catalog outlet near by. I still morn its passing. I managed to get a pair of Clark’s sandals for $7.00 there one time. I still wear them and enjoy them every summer. But as much as I enjoy them, I got them so cheaply that I just can’t bring myself to pay the very high price Clark’s normally cost. They usually run in the $70-100 range. I may break down one of these days but until then my one and only pair will have to do.
Same with my new Sketchers. My friend Linda volunteers at a local thrift store. One day I got a call from her. They had just gotten a pair of Sketchers in my size that looked practically new and were marked $6.95. I went in and tried them on. They seemed a little tight but as I have worn them I have come to realize that they are quite comfortable. They are so comfortable that I wore them to Disneyland on Monday. Any pair of shoes that survives the Disneyland test are keepers!
I thought I might by myself another pair in a different color. I looked on Zappos and they were $55 to $75 for similar styles. Sigh. How can I possible pay that much when the pair I have cost a tenth of that? There is a Sketchers outlet two cities over. I might just have to go check them out. Meanwhile, I will enjoy my bargain pair.
