Most of you prob­ably don’t know, but I have enorm­ous feet. Mum nick­named me “anthrax” in utero, saying that if I had Dad’s feet and her mouth, I’d have foot and mouth disease.

It’s impossible to find a size 11 12 to 12 in a women’s shoe and have it be attract­ive. Well, almost. We went shop­ping yes­ter­day at Flue­vog, and I’m now the proud owner of four new pairs of shoes. First new shoes in forever. They had a 60% off sale!

I wanted these, but they’d sold out of the red… As they’re only $79, I might have to buy them online…

But I got these instead:

And for the more formal look:

I des­per­ately want these too, but they only go up to an 11 and they didn’t fit. Pout.

In the boot depart­ment, I wanted these, which also only go to an 11:

But have put funky green boots on ‘lay away’ (lay by, for Aus­tralian readers).

I want to show you the awe­some chunky black Mary Janes I bought (only $49! Do you know how long it is since I paid less than $100 for a shoe that *fit* me?) and the pair of leaf-green and pale tan san­dals that go very well with my hippie summer gear, but they were the last of their kind in the shop (my size, of course, because *almost no one else has such insanely huge feet*) and so they’re not on the web site any more.
