New Shoes

I have worn the same "tennis" or walking shoes for 6 years. Needless to say they were no longer as supportive and the tread was worn smooth. Time for another pair.

I have hunted for the same make and model to no avail. With the weather a mix of rain and sleet, the icy sidewalks were hard to face in my dear Avias. Yesterday I wandered into a mall in West Burlington, into Younkers. I sense they may be part of the Macys family.

I found a pair of Avias but they did not fit my heal correctly. I purchased a pair of Ryka which fit OK, not great. I am giving them the whole day to break in. There's one spot across the ball of my left foot that's not feeling comfortable now.

When I made my decision, the clerk asked if I had clipped the coupon out of Sunday's paper. I had not so she scanned one she had and I received a $5 discount beyond the sale price. For $44 I'm hoping these shoes carry me miles and miles.

Today I plan to get to the local Hobby Lobby store. I did clip their 40% of any regularly priced item coupon from Sunday's paper.

'til later
