take Nilly to Nordstrom Rack

I'm going to; we have one with a humongous shoe section, in SOMA. And I think Nilly's like a size 4.5 US.

We could take her to snow country (there's always snow somewhere up in the Gold Country), but there's not enough time during her visit. Damn.

If she's a 4.5, she's also in Naturalizer range. She could probably do quite a bit of online shoe shopping while she's here and we could ship later.

Am I the only one who wouldn't dare buy shoes without trying them on first? 9.5, high arch, high instep, wide at the front, narrow heelbox?

I wonder if she'd like a spa chair manicure/pedicure....

Yo. And for the exact same reasons.

juliana, by the by, can you send me some info, when you've got a chance, on what parts of Minneapolis would be best for hotels for the wedding? I don't need numbers or anything, I can do the research, but what parts of town?

Not at all--I've got the wide toes and narrow heels, but with low arches and instep. I hate shopping for dress shoes.

Vortex, will do. Are you coming? Because tess (non-buffista good buddy) is thinking of coming, too.

Lilty, my sister in Manolos! Although actually, his shoes are cut entirely wrong for my feet, and I actually can, and do, wear high heels. Can't wear Jimmy Choo, either; cut too shallow where the instep starts, and too narrow where the arch ends.
