Stimulate the economy: scratch it above its butt.

I did my bit to support the economy today... made my first purchases ever at Lululemon, where I restrained myself to one pair of crops, one top and one thong. Now I know my size, and can compare these legendary pants head-to-head with the Athleta ones I mail-ordered. Yoga wars! The victor will get my repeat business.

Then I went to the Fluevog store to try these on in person, after years of lusting after them online:



But they didn't have my size, and these are what came home with me. The moment I tried them on, I knew they fit. REALLY fit. And despite how small they make my feet look, the toe box is wide enough that there's zero pressure on my toes.



miyyu recently listed Clarks as a shoe brand that she's willing to pay for because of the quality. Fluevogs definitely mean quality to me... the prices hurt, but my last purchase was in 1999 and I'm still wearing those boots. Josef Seibel, Mephisto and Merrell are on my list too.

I have had two or three pairs of Fluevogs. There used to be a store in Seattle where I would get them. I agree...high quality shoes. Lasted forever too.

I also am a fan of the original Doc Martins. Them things never die.

Do you know about this? I've been mildly tempted.
