To Die By Your Side, Well The Pleasure - The Privilege Is Mine

WANTED: 1 pair booties. Must be "made for walkin'." If found, please contact me ASAP. K thnx, bai!

So, Carolina Engman bought these from Din Sko. To my complete and utter disappointment, Din Sko does not deliver their amazingly cute shoes outside of the Netherlands. Sad. So I tried to find something comparable in the states. I should try Aldo maybe.

So, our first contestant was this pair from Urban, at 50% off. I didn't like that the shaft was meant to be significantly roomier than necessary for a leg, though. It was even like that on the model in the catalog. I wanted something more fitted to look seamless when worn with black tights/leggings.

Next I tried these. Kind of the same problem. The part with the grommets was sort of floating above my foot, as if the shoe had been expecting a rather swollen foot/ankle to fill it. Maybe I could have gone down half a size if they had carried it, but everything else seemed to fit fine... Sad

Just spotted these online. I quite like them, so maybe the others not fitting was a sign. I'm not going to order them blindly, though, because clearly fit is touch and go.
Hopefully, one day, I will find my sole-mates... (har har)
