At lunch today, Leslie and I headed over to DSW. We had a 30% off coupon (thanks to Trinity) so we had to go see what kind of money we could save by spending some. Gotta love girl math! I've never had much luck at DSW. My wide foot doesn't fit most of the shoes there. Although they carry brands that I can get at other stores in a wide width, they only stock the average width shoes. I discovered this must be why I don't have much of a shoe collection.
I did however spot a pair of sneakers that are shaped quite a bit like a bike shoe. They even velcro. But there a plastic shoe and look like they would breath well. I try them on and they fit. Amazingly, the shoe is actually padded quite a bit so they are comfortable too. I can't go wrong as the shoes are only $25 after the 30% off coupon. I think they'll work for now. Much better than the investment in bike shoes that will run me $100-$300, plus I'd have to get special pedals for those too!
