Lets Get Some SHOES.

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:21 pm by picturesandpostits

Hello Folks.

I have a proposition for you.

While I was in Melbourne I purchased a pair of these shoes…

Now I just have to hope to bejesus that link works.

I was quite thrilled with this purchase. They are especially cute, are they not? And I got them for only $30 Australian. I’m guessing by the converse website this is a relatively new design and should be worth a lot more. HAH. Bargains. I get them.

Only… there was a slight problem on them with the sizing. They were marked a ladies size seven, when IN FACT, they are a size nine. I did not realise this until I got them home and compared the number on the bottom to the number on the bottom of my navy blue pair. Two sizes difference. Whoops. Something went wrong there.

I also compared the sizing thing on the underside of the tounge to each other… they say exactly the same thing, despite the fact that the shoes CLEARLY are not the same size.

Hence, I am left with no choice but to try and sell them off to someone who will love them and hug them, and have some kick ass times in them.

Now.. the slight problem is that they have been worn. It was cold in Melbourne.. the shoes I had with me would’ve resulted in frostbite on my toes. But, they have only been worn twice. Sure there are some scuff marks and they’ve collected a bit of dust, but it’s what you would expect on a shoe after two wears. They’re not.. falling apart or anything.

I have no idea how to get rid of them to clear room for a pair of chucks that actually fit me properly. Anyone a size nine and want some already worn in, cute as a button, Chucks? Anyone KNOW of anyone who might want a pair of size nine, already worn in, cute as a button Chucks?

Or.. if that fails… Anyone know how the hells I can get rid of them with as little effort on my part as possible? Keep in mind, I only paid $30 for them. I wouldn’t be asking for any more than that, perhaps with the exception of postage, depending on where I would have to send them. But, if you’re in America… I am willing to make a deal that I send you these, and you send me some Old Navy stuff. Lets find these guys a home they deserve!

      errr.. they didn’t fit me in melbourne. they were a little big, but I didn’t realise how much until I got home and compared sizes.. now regardless of how much I like them, I can’t see the point in keeping them when they’re so big on me..

      Yes… seems Smart Water is not making me and smarter….SMRT.
