Kudos to Skechers

I’m not sure I had ever been in a Skechers store before today, but I wanted to try sneakers on, because my feet are both large (US size 10) and wide, so buying online before trying is asking for failure. We went up to the outlets, an hour away, and I started to look around. I couldn’t see anything on the boxes indicating wides, so I asked some employees how I could tell which were the wides, and they said, oh, all the wides are in that aisle over there.

Y’all. Y’ALL. I did not have to wander the entire store looking to see what styles they had in 10W, because ALL THE WIDES WERE IN ONE SPOT.

All I had to do was see what was available in 10. It was amazing. I wish every shoe store would do this.

Mind you, some of them probably wouldn’t because it would reveal how few wides they had. But anyway. I got these, and they are so comfortable. Yay, yay.

We also went into a travel store and I bought a new suitcase, then had lunch at P.F. Chang’s, went to Costco to redeem my reward certificate (that’s free money right there), and finally stopped at Norman Love to pick up some coconut macaroons.

It’s been a good day.
