Dammit, why are there never any size nine shoes or boots left on the shelves? Is it a conspiracy? If they are so popular that they get bought up faster than all the other sizes, wouldn't it make sense to keep more size nines in stock than other sizes? I'm just saying....not that I'm bitter.
Personally, I think I own rather a lot of shoes. Part of this is due to the fact that women's shoes tend to be so speciallized that there is no one shoe that works with everything. Part of this is due to the fact that since size nines are so hard to find that when I do come across a pair that I like and can afford, I snap them up (who knows when tce will come again) and keep them until they are so ragged and worn they fall apart. (Then I get them fixed.)
[Note: when discussing a pair of somethign, does one say "it", referring to the entity of the pair, or "them", referring to the multiple?]
