Can I just say that these are the greatest sneakers I have ever owned, and the current tragedy of my life is that they are no longer available in my size, even though I desperately need to replace mine after having worn them basically every day for the last two and a half years? BOO ON YOU, LIFE. WHAT SHALL I DO FOR FOOTWEAR NOW?? But anyway

clearly you should investigate what kind of shoes IU wears. you two being style soulmates and all. ;) (i do feel your pain though! not so much with sneakers but i have had tops i've loved and not been able to replace.)

Haha, excellent idea! The only flaw is that my feet are generally too big to buy shoes in this country, b'awww (they size by millimeters here; my feet measure 260, and yet the VAST majority of stores only carry through 250 for women's sizes. O accursed fate!!! So instead I am looking at shoes online, except super freaking out about ordering anything because, since I have to order overseas, it would be pretty cost-prohibitive to ever send them back should they not fit, so THEY MUST BE PERFECT NO MATTER WHAT, and yet how can I knowwww before I try them on???? Yes I am having a legit crisis concerning online shopping. Wahhh).

I share your pain! My favourite pair were some lovely black/white spectator-style shoes with just the perfect amount of pointedness at the front and a little heel and I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE THEM AS THEY WERE SEASONAL MODELS FROM A CHAIN THREE YEARS AGO. TEARS FOREVERRRRRRRRR
.. it's just when you've got an article of clothing you have worn to death and cannot bear to part with (although I regularly put away stuff I don't need and I am not a hoarder!). Just this pair of shoes!

Oh the bitter taste of (clothing) mortality. :( (Actually I have a huge collection of shoes that don't fit me/are too worn out to wear. It's kind of ridiculous. In general I cycle between three pairs of shoes -- boots, flats, sneakers -- and yet there are like ten pairs of shoes in my house except I CAN'T WEAR ANY OF THEM, I JUST NEED THEM TO GO AWAY. This is also why I'm nervous about trying to order new shoes online... Boo.)

I understand you! I have been through the same and even a pair of sandals at this precise website that no longer are made. WHY I ASK/ they were so beautiful but mines broke after wearing them for so long. Now nothing can be done. sighs
