By Sunday the weather is supposed to drop down to highs in the mid-50’s and lows in the high-30’s.

And these would be the only pair of closed-toe shoes I brought to Korea.

I was sure I had packed more than just my Maggie walkers, but no.

I’ve got a closet full of flip-flops (several half-chewed) & this one pair of well-worn, broken-in & pretty dirty Keen hiking shoes.

Unfortunately the female shoe selection here leaves something to be desired. I’ve got my choice of:

• combat boots,
• white sneakers (if they have my size),
• sandals (if they have my size),
• dressy heels (if they have my size),
• and some pretty outlandish, extreme-heeled, red-laquer – as seen on stage by famous pole-dancers everywhere - hooker pumps. (definitely not in my size).

This applies to both Humphries & Osan. So I’ve been scouring sites like Zappos, ShoeBuy & Endless.com for a pair of decent casual shoes that could be worn dressed up or down.

Unfortunately, I got side-tracked & spent the afternoon drooling over these.

Hand-made Lucchese Boots.

Nevermind they’re far too expensive for me (hundreds of dollars each), or that I wouldn’t have any place to go in them, or that my big ol’ foot has never & will never fit them (my foot’s too wide with a super high arch)…

…but a girl can dream.
