Who would think that the search for a pair of size 6 women sneakers (or trainers) would be such an elusive task. After going through several athletic shoe stores. I ended up lugging my ass into Macy’s. And if you know me, I hate department stores. It’s literally a mad house in there. The crowd is comparable to pedestrian traffic down by Time Square. I’m just glad that my wanderings into Macy’s have never occurred during a sale. I would hate to imagine the vulture-like behavior of the average consumer during a sale.

So to accomplish my task, I made my way to the information desk to inquire about the whereabouts of their athletic shoe department. I was promptly directed to the fifth floor. After combing through the entire shoe department there were no sneakers in sight. I decided to asked the salesman where I would be able to find sneakers. And he said “we don’t carry sneakers at Macy’s, just designer sneakers.” Geez louise! Who do they think they are… Neiman Marcus. For god sakes! It’s just Macy’s, the department store of the average consumer. When did department stores stop carrying sneakers.

I ended up at Foot Lockers. The search is over. I’ve finally got the elusive size 6 sneaker. Woo hoo!
