Herringbone Shoes

This past Thursday, I was going through my Google reader when I found this post on The Daily Fancy, the blog by Matchbook Magazine. I have always loved this blog but this post especially caught my eye. I saw all of the shoes on there and just knew I had to have the herringbone flats. I have been looking at buying a pair of loafers for work and thought these might be perfect.

I went to the Gap online and saw that they were sold out in every size except size 5-- not good for me as I have much larger feet. I figured my only option was to head to the mall (and brave the back-to-school crowds) to see if I could find the shoes in person. 

When I arrived at the store there were three pairs of the herringbone flats: two pairs of 5s and a 6. Not looking good. I asked the store manager if any shoes were hidden in the back and she brought me a brown pair in my size but she was unable to find the ones I had to have. As I was trying on the brown pair, she spotted a herringbone pair on the mannequin. She quickly took them off the mannequin to check the size-- I was so lucky! They were my size! I found one of the last pairs available in my size! I was so happy and impressed with the entire staff at the Gap. Everyone was so friendly and tried their best to help me. 

I love when shopping adventures work out so well and I couldn't be happier to now own these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and I know I will be wearing them for many of the colder months.
