I was at CVS today wishing they carried school shoes and uniforms and came home from there to find an email about school shoes.  Creepy?  I think of it more like a sign. LOL! Watch my ADD mind work… see if you can follow this. :)

Do you know that buying school shoes is a science?  Seriously! You have to have a degree in shoe sizing to buy them. That would be Kelli Miller, MSS to you. :-)

Y’all think I am kidding…  buying shoes has an art to it.  About.com has a Shoe Guide!  Yes, a SHOE GUIDE!  Just for shoes! And they have a 6 step process for fitting shoes.  It is really hilarious if you think about it.  But, it gives me fodder for a post, so you get to see all the amazing shoe things out there. :-D

Wikipedia has an entire page on shoe sizes, too!  A shoe size is an alphanumerical indication of the fitting size of a shoe for a person. Do what? Say that again?

Start Rite Shoes even has a contest to win free shoes for a year.  Hmmm, wonder if they know what they are getting into with that.  If I were able to buy free shoes for a year, I would have to add on to my house. :-)   What about you? 50 bucks says there are rules to keep you from getting to addicted to the free shoe thing. :-)

Homeschoolers, you need a project for your child?  Have them find out about shoe sizing and shoe sizes.  You will be amazed at the wealth of info out there.  I am telling you, shoe sizing…. who knew?

And all of that because I need to buy my middle boy some new school shoes. :-) Gosh, I LOVE blogging. :-)

    Ok, I don’ t put NEAR that much thought into it. Of course, we always end up having to buy shoes for all 4 of the older ones at the same time, so I’m mainly just trying not to have a heart attack at the total involved!
