    I just bought these off EBay, $10, plus about the same for shipping. I am quite impressed, they look better in person, fit well and are a nice solid shoe.

    It has been a few days and I can say I am in love with these shoes! I have been wearing them everyday, Sunday from morning until bedtime and they are super comfortable. I have other shoes I wear a lot, but these kick butt as far as comfort.

  2. I am still working, employed by a company that falls under "essential". That said I am working only four days a week, but still getting paid for five. I was on the road doing sales calls, but now am an overpaid delivery driver bring parts and equipment to customers. We are not under a full "lock down" here, home stores are open, clothing stores are closed, as are bars, unless they serve food, then it is take out only.

    The extra day off has me doing odd jobs around the house. A bit of minor remodeling. I am replacing three windows, as soon as they get here. My wife cleaned out the hall closet, repainted and I hung new shelves. (We have been in this house for almost thirty years and the first time that closet has been painted since!) My mom called me the other day. she had a foot of water in her basement. She got it pumped out on her own, but need a more permanent solution, so I had to break quarantine and help her out, a bit of PVC and a new sump pump. I have some projects with my motorcycles in my shop.  Plus the weather is finally nice so we can get outside. I might have to get my bicycle out.

    I am probably busier now than before!

    UGGs   ---- the name says it all

    I can second that!

    I hate Ugg boots. I just don't understand why a nice looking young woman will put on a cute outfit and slide on a pair of Ugg boots. Cute little mini skirt, nice top, maybe pantyhose, then Ugg it up. The just look so sloppy and unkept. We need a puking emoji!

    Crocks set me off too. I can understand for being lazy around the house, put they should never be seen in public. I have never seen anything that just screams lazy and "lower class" any louder than Crocks.!

    Unlike the other comments.  do like platforms, but maybe 2 inches at the most. The ridiculous super high ones are to crazy and should one be worn at home or strip clubs. (Sorry, I do own a pair of 4 inch platforms!)

  4. As to weight gain or loss, I have lost about 10 pounds in the last couple months. I am still working, but am home for a 3 day weekend. Plus I used to be out of town 1 or 2 nights a week. We are not at a total lock down so doing some odd jobs and minor remodeling now that I have more time. That and not eating at restaurants 7-10 meals a week has helped shed some pounds. I was trying to lose a bit of weight, not trying very hard though! I am down to 175 pounds at 5'10".

  5. I like messing with my nails. i do give myself manicures, but I also do some glue on fake nails from time to time. I have some full cover nails that I use temporary adhesive and they come off almost too easy, but no damage to my nails. I experimented last weekend with glue on acrylic tips and acrylic filler. It was fun to do, but it is hard on my nails by the time I remove the fake nails. i only wear the fake nails at home, so on one day, off the next.

    Here is from last weekend,

  6. My boss came in and attempted to shut me down yesterday, I am in over the road sales. He told me to go ahead with this week, but the next two weeks to plan on staying close to the office, and then we will evaluate the situation then. So far the customers I have talked to today thing this whole Corona virus deal is a bunch of B.S.!

    She's noisy, if she see's a shoe box she will open it to see what shoes I'm getting (so I leave empty one's laying around).

    That is just screaming to have something a bit startling in a shoe box for her next visit!  Hmmm, a rat, or snake or maybe a vibrator?

  8. I get a kick out pricing. I bought these boots right off Nine West's web sight. I had watched them on and off most of the winter. They never varied off the regular price, at least not much, then the were $79 and they paid the shipping so I grabbed them. Looked again this week, on sale for $149.

  9. I got a fairly good deal on these the other day, regular price $179, on sale for $79. Nine West Quizme. 

    I had been watching different web sights all winter looking for a pair of high heel boots. Plus the price needed to be right. This was a bit more than I hoped to pay, but what the heck!

  10. Related water usage, I find it strange that we irrigate crops in arid areas of the country, and in the area I live in we grow easily crops with no irrigation, but the government pays farmers to put land in CRP, Crop Reduction Program. We have millions of acres of good farm land sitting idle that will grow crops with little effort.

    There are parts of the country that should have never been populated. Most of southern California is a desert and we pump millions of gallons of water from the Colorado River that direction. If the LA basin had to fend for itself for water and electricity it would be in trouble.

  11. I remember one young lady I went to high school with in the mid '70's. Very attractive young lady.  She came from a wealthy family and dressed the part.  Even in blue jeans she was well put together. She would never show up in jeans and a plain shirt or sweater. Always had a scarf, necklace, bracelets or some other addition to accessorize what she wore, a complete package. She often wore dresses and heels, and her style of her dresses were more of what a bit older woman would wear, not your typical high school student dress. Very prim and proper, stylish, nice conservative dresses and heels. I keep thinking of Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis when i think of her. I believe she helped me get through puberty faster! 

    I wonder what became of her. Most likely married, 4-5 kids and gained 100 pounds!

    I have had this same problem with Chinese shoes before. In my case, the shoes I bought fit remarkably well, except for one thing: There was about an inch of sandal remaining in front of my big toe, as if it were meant for somebody 2 sizes larger than me with freakishly long toes. I have also had shoes where, as you say, the sole of the shoe didn't match up with my foot. In every case, the reason why was because the shoe was designed for somebody with longer toes than me. Is this the case with you? It would be helpful if you could explain in a bit more detail exactly how they don't fit you.

    Yes, it was similar to what you describe. These were closed toe shoes, very high heel. The shoe length was fine, but the toe box was longer than need be, so the ball of my foot behind my toes was sitting on a flat spot that continued back 1/4"-1/2". I have a few pairs of odd branded heels from china that fit fine so I can not blame Chinese shoe design.
