who knows the secrets to shoe shopping?

I've been looking extremely hard for a pair of shoes for a ridiculously long time. I've searched every store in town. Twice. I've looked online. More than twice. I simply cannot find what I am looking for. For a very particular pair of shoes. It just so happens they're discontinued. But I didn't know that until last week. That shouldn't matter, right? Somewhere, somehow, these shoes have to be out there. In a box. In some backroom. Waiting. For me to find them. I just know they are longing to be on my feet, even more than I'm dying for them to be there.

I need them. In grey. Size 8.

Anyone know any shoe shopping secrets?? Moi??

I simply must have them. No others will do.
