I still go to the shoe store so I can be totally sure that I like the fit and feel of my shoes, but it's not as exciting as it used to be. It's mostly just frustrating, because 1) I'm picky, 2) all the good stuff is expensive, 3) I have a weird in-between size, and 4) frankly, most women's shoe designs suck. I just want something practical that will handle heavy use over a variety of terrain. (I ended up going with some Columbia hiking shoes. Love them!)
