I can't believe this!
After two days and four stores of trying to find size 13W tennis shoes for my dd, I finally last night decided to try my luck on line. I went to Zappos because my dh has had good luck ordering from them. I thought the kids shoes were kind of expensive, but I finally found a nice pair in her size for a good price. They offer free shipping both ways, so I figured ordering them would be less traumatic then having to go out again to look for shoes.

I ordered them at ten pm last night... and UPS delivered them to my door at 8:30 this morning! Isn't that the craziest thing??? And they fit fine and she loves them. I can only feel like we've had a visit from the Shoe Fairy

I think your post says it all!
I can see myself becoming an addict.... goodbye forever to "I'm sorry you drove all the way to our store in the freezing cold with two kids complaining all the way and we just don't EVER seem to be able to keep your kids' shoe size in stock. But your kids are more than welcome to take home all the free germs they can collect by touching everything and rolling around on the floor...:

Okay this is too cool. And the link in your link (slightly confusing

) Stef about the lady receiving flowers from Zappos...incredible!!!!

Thank you ladies for this. I avoid shoe shopping so much, we have taped shoes together before I actually feel compelled to deal with it. Woohoo!
