What great shoes you picked. Love them all! Like Eliza, I too have a pair of the Alisas and love the bright sole. Enjoy your great finds and your happy feet! Eliza on "Shoes, shoes, and more shoes!

I found the Sam Edelman boots at Nordstrom Rack.  They are so comfortable I wore them to the airport on a trip.  Again, no stretching.   I found the Via Spiga knee high boots at Nordstrom Rack.  They look great and are comfortable without stretching.  I'm a size 6 and don't have big calves and they are very form fitting on my legs. I found the Born sandals below at Nordstrom Rack.  I found them in black and they are very comfortable.  Worth keeping an eye out for if you have "c" width feet.   I found a pair of Burberry low black pumps that are beautiful at Nordstrom Rack.  After being stretched, they are comfortable!   This is embarrassing, but the reason I'm getting all these new shoes is I recently found out I've been wearing the wrong shoe size.  It's no wonder I found it impossible to find comfortable shoes.  So, if you are in doubt at all, get your feet measured.  I was wearing 6.5 or 7's and I'm actually between a 5.5 and 6.  At least I'm in comfortable shoes now!
