The other problem is to choose the right pair of shoes. Here is a story of one woman about her visit to the shoe department.

Last Saturday I decided to visit shoe departments of the 'Yekaterininsky' trade centre. I needed a pair of court shoes and a pair of loafers. The first shop had a large choice of court shoes. They were made of patent leather or fine lamb leather. But all of them were too tight for me. The only pair I liked was of 39 size; they were two sizes bigger. So I went to another shop. There were no court shoes but all kinds of walking shoes, mules, wedges, clogs, moccasins, slippers and trotters. Funny enough, but at once I found a pair of walking shoes (loafers) of pale grey colour and trotters made of dark green velvet. The loafers were medium-heeled made of very soft leather. I took those two pairs. And then I went further searching for a pair of court shoes. At last I saw a pair I wanted to buy. I tried them on, but they were a bit tight. I asked a salesgirl to bring the other pair – half a size bigger. While she was absent I began to look at sandals and soon saw beautiful ones. They were stiletto sandals with golden stripes and of my size. The price was not very high. Soon the salesgirl brought me shoes. They suited me. They were simple pumps of fine white leather with heels of 10 centimeters high. And again I took both pairs. So my purchases cost me about five thousand roubles and they made a hole in our family budget. I felt being spendthrift but could do nothing. By the way, I saw a very good pair of moccasins for my husband. But now there are only two trouble moments: where to find money and how to manage to drag my husband into that shop.
