Spring Shoe Sale

As was mentioned far and wide in blog world last week, Spring was having a huge online shoe clearance. I don't think I have ever purchased anything from Spring, but with free shipping, cheap prices, and an excellent return policy I decided it was worth a shot.

I picked out four pair of shoes for fun and a couple of bags that I am hoping will be great for the beach/pool during our trip to Punta Cana next month. The issue I had was picking shoe sizes. I wear a 9.5 - 10 depending on the shoes, but I was worried that Spring would have a bit smaller sizing since they are owned by the same company that owns Aldo. I often have trouble with Aldo sizes being smaller, so I opted to chose size 11 for most of these new shoes. This of course has bitten me in the behind. Four pairs of shoes and only one pair fit. C'est la vie. I'm going to return the others and maybe try to get one pair of them in a size 10...I didn't love all three enough to bother reordering.

The bags haven't arrived yet, but one was shipped yesterday and the other today so hopefully when they do arrive I will like them both. Same bag, different patterns. I will wait until these arrive to make sure I don't have to make two trips to the mall for returns.

Oh, I should mention that all of this.... four shoes & two bags.... was only $100.

I have the same issue!!! With flats I am usually an 8 or 9, but with some heels I have to go to a 10...my shoes are WAY too big for me, but I DO love them, so I am re-ordering...and then I have to return the others to the store, what a pain!!!

I bet you got the fabric bags right? with the button detail??? I saw the black polka dot one and fell in love with it and I was like "damn, that would have been perfect in Mexico!" - oh well, I still bought one because I plan on taking many more trips!

Yup, the black one with polka dots and the khaki one with flowers (I think flowers anyway!).

A bunch of us ordered the same shoes too. haha.
