or, the decision could be made for me --
Turns out when she said "black and brown", she meant they only had the Lolita sandals in black and light brown, a color that interests me not at all. So, black sandals it is!
They also had Margrete, which I tried on just for size. My Dansko clogs are too big, see. They are in fact one European size too big, and I blame this for the time I sprained my ankle by taking a perfectly innocent step and my right foot simply rolling over on its side. And yet, the clogs press uncomfortably on the tops of my feet because my instep is like crazy high. I know that the answer is to get shoes in the right size that don't come as far up the foot (those clogs in the "correct" size -- no chance I can even get my foot into them), but it's hard to tell if things will fit without ever having tried them on. These ones? did fit!, meaning in future I can order them without bothering to try them on in person; so the next time I can afford to add expensive shoes, I'll have a lot of styles to choose from.
