I was at our local mall and walked past my favourite shoe store - it's a huge place and always has anything I need for a good price. Turns out they're going out of business (
) so were having a huge sale.

These are Skechers brand, and I thought the mark down price on them was $39.99, and boots were 60% off, so about $15. I realised when I got to the register the mark down price was $69.99, and was about to walk away, but got her to double check, and she keyed in the number and said they're $9.99, and with 60% off they're $4.33.


Well there was no way I was walking away from $4 Skechers boots!

I should add they were the only black boots left, and they were my size! I'm guessing everyone else left them because the price said $69.99.

They're great, I love 'em. I'm jealous, I have a pair something like that, but the uppers are not as tall, and I paid like $50 for them

Now I just have to learn how to walk down the stairs in them without holding onto the railing with one hand, and the wall with the other...

We need a video!!!


Excellent buy. I can't wear heels that high, but I think for $4.00 I would have bought them anyway!

Well done.

Sarah, I can walk and dance in any type of heels. Really, I am petite so I have always worn heels so no problem. You go, girl!

Well I'm glad you guys like them. I just had afternooon tea with a "friend" (who has been getting on my nerves lately), and I told her how excited I was about them, and she pulled a face, and said "yeah, I noticed you were doing that weird Californian boots and 3/4 pants thing, what's with that".
It's not a look I would normally do, but I wanted to wear my new boots, so I figured since it's supposedly fashionable, I would give it a go. Even if I didn't care for a particular fashion, if someone was excited about a new purchase, I would never say something like that, especially with such a sneer. Sigh.

I would never say anything either. She was being hurtful. I think your boots are beautiful. If they feel good wear them, with what ever you want

It was rude of her to say that.
They have boots real cheap here also because Show Pavillion is going out of business.
Everything is already picked over though.

That's who it was - Shoe Pavilion
It was the only decent pair of shoes left!
