Shoes

One of the things we stock up on every year in the U.S. is - you guessed it! - shoes. Aside from the fact that a "cheap" pair of shoes here costs about $50-70, they never have my size. When I go to the store and ask for my size, most of the time they laugh at me and say, "No, we don't carry that size" or they just look at me like an alien. It is really not worth the effort. Or embarrassment. Hard to be a 9 1/2 in a sea of 5's.
