Garbage kid shoes brought me to the same shoe shopping epiphany. After returning yet another pair, I literally thought: “there has to be another way,” and then the memories came flooding back, and to the Dufferin Mall the whole family headed.

I always wanted to dress kind of like Elaine. Well, I probably did. The 90s were full of those fun floral dresses and I looked nice in them! I wholeheartedly agree with the complete absurdity of buying shoes online, and I will add pants to that category. How can anybody buy pants online? I have just done it, because I am going on a hiking trip and I need trekking pants, which are a special thing, and apparently in my city it is illegal to buy trekking pants if you are over a size 10. (Half my friends are into hiking and none of us are a size 10.) So I bought pants online and they were way too big and I had to return them and reorder a different size. The whole thing is preposterous. Anyway, those are pretty great shoes.
