I hate shopping. I hate shopping for shoes. But when I HAVE TO shop for shoes, there’s one place I love: Zappo’s. It’s like having my own shoe store in my living room. The UPS guy comes with several shoes I can try, without changing out of my jammies, without people watching me walk around trying to decide if I’m comfortable or not. I then decide which one I want, put everything else back neatly in their boxes, and send them back. Free shipping both ways.

After looking at new boots for Yena at eBay, Gymboree, Talbots, and other places, we found the one. I got three different sizes, they arrived the next day, she tried them on, parading around the house like a princess, took her pick, and that was it. No pain, no whining at the mall, no walking from store to store. It was on sale too:) Me happy. This was over a month ago, and Yena and I still both LOVE her shoes. Of course, the light-up effect is ALL that matters to her.

Now if I can find a way to have Zappo’s pay me for this post…. 😀

ETA 04/12/08: You know what, I changed my mind. They don’t have to pay me — they already do more than enough to serve the customer. Here’s one more reason to shop there. I may *heart* Zappos, but they obviously know how to *heart* the people they serve.
