shoe consultation shopping for OTHER people

[cimorene]

I would love to set up a free Personal Shoe Shopper thingy. I mean, I'm always seeing people in the wrong shoes and knowing where they could find the right ones, because one of my hobbies is obsessively checking the new shoe offerings by brands and in boutiques (my favourites are UK shops Shuh and Treds, and also Office, but only for browsing, because their shipping prices are so exorbitant I would never actually consider paying them). So like, people could say, "Cim, I need a comfortable but appropriate business casual shoe that I can jog in!" or "Cim, what in the world should I wear to a wedding next summer?" or "Cim, I need a pair of shoes combining smartness, preferably with a low heel, and comfort." And then I would solve their problems! It's nice to dream. There just aren't enough shoe-buying tasks in my OWN life to satisfy me.

Also! Some people love Birkenstocks and some people HATE them - it depends on your foot. They take the paiiin away from an 8-hour day on my feet/running up and down stairs at daycare for me, but they've been known to give people awful blisters. All depends on the fit, sadly. You probably wouldn't want to buy without trying on. But I'm coveting these:
