I have been in search for new black dress shoes for almost a year and still haven't found any that are acceptable. I have a pair that I paid about 30 bucks for 2 years ago and I can't part with them. Although they're not exactly the picture of style, they have been the perfect work shoes - perfect height (3 inches) perfect toe width. They're close to the end now: shoe polish hardly helps anymore and the soles are cracked. I've tried to replace them with cheap shoes. I've tried to replace them with expensive shoes. All I have to show for it are about 5 pairs of black dress shoes that I rarely wear. I'm afraid today may be the last day of these formerly perfect heels. It's a sad day.

On another shoe note, have you seen all the new spring flip flops with kitten heels???? What's with that?

I feel your pain. I have a pair in that category myself...a moment of silence for the perfect black dress shoes...
Press on...pseudo-replacements will be found!
I finally learned that if I EVER try on a pair of shoes I really like, I have to buy them right then, for I will never find a satisfactory replacement. My deepest sympathies, and GOOD LUCK!!
