nancia thanks for the tip on the cross dresser - how do you know of such establishments - unfortunately I have lived such a sheltered life in our little hamlet in SE MN that I haven't been exposed to anyone that is a cross dresser. If I want something beautiful I have to travel to the Cities and visit a specialty shoe shop - they just cost more so you need to be certain it's a need and not just a trendy want. Not traveling south any time soon so Dallas is out. Tennis shoes, sandles and work boots - thank goodness I never got bit by the shoe bug.
