Why are decent navy shoes so hard to find? All I want is a pair of decently priced, mid-heel navy pumps I can wear to work, and I just can't find any.

Lee, what size shoe do you wear? I have two pairs and barely wear either of them. I'd love to send one to you.

That's awfully nice of you, vw, but sadly, I have big clown feet, so I don't think it would work.

Damn. I'm sorry.

If it helps, I think both of my pairs came from DSW, and I know my mom's gotten navy shoes there before.

I've been looking for Navy shoes for ages, too. Not very hard, admittedly, but when I do look I never find any. I thought they were a staple!

I also thought I had some, and may still in the still unpacked box of shoes in the closet that I just dig through looking for the pair I want rather than properly unpacking because I lack shoe storage solutions.

Lee, Brief Trace and Treat Yourself both come in navy. Yeah, I still read the Aerosoles catalogue even when I'm decidedly not shoe shopping.

When I hit 164, I'm overweight by the BMI scale. At this overweightness I'm decidedly bigger than I was at my last normal weight, but it's about a size 8. It's hard to explain so far to anyone, but I feel a bit victorious. Not just that I'm flipping my finger at a number too many people take too seriously, but...well, I know a bunch of lean yet overweight by BMI guys. They're BIG. And in a decidedly pleasant way. Although I'm not as proportionately big, they are good company to be in. And I don't know of any other size 8 women willing to cop to being in this club. I know they're there, but probably all mumblemumble about their weight.

I was trying to get something at least a little bit cheaper, but those are worth noting. Thanks!

See, yeah! What else besides height/weight ratio is used to determine BMI? Because you can't tell much if that's the only measure.

If I get to a size 8 (I'm not sure this is possible for shirts or dresses considering my chest) I'll be overweight according to BMI alone. I'm a 10/12 now at 168.

This isn't quite so traditionally pumpy, but it's on sale.

Zappos doesn't have much cheap in that category.

I thought BMI went by the waist/hip ratio. If all they are going by is height/weight it's a crock. Waist/hip is a crock, too, but a smaller crock. Smells just the same, though.
