this is a public service announcement for shoe enthusiasts

Attention shoe lovers on a budget! I must direct your attention to the "Everything $10" signs currently posted at Shoe Outlet. In fact, I shot this photo just moments ago. Shoe Outlet has been a favorite haunt of mine since I arrived in this berg, now 2+ years ago.

I got a fab pair of black sneakers with copper racing stripes right off the bat at Shoe Outlet, which I got a heck of a lot of good use out of. (of which I got a heck of a lot of good use? Yes that would be better grammar, with the dangling preposition not dangling and all, but anyway, these sneaks were great with both pants and skirts. All in all, it was ten dollars well-spent by me.)

This small store on 14th Street near 5th Avenue with extremely surly service is definitely hit-or-miss (in the interest of full disclosure, I haven't had much good luck since my initial purchase); but when you hit, you will be pleased as punch with yourself for your level of shoe-super-sleuthiness.

Who wouldn't go anywhere for a bargain? Certainly not not me! (I think that took care of the double-negative.)
