    My latest score! Sweet!!!

    I was in Value Village (thrift store) today. I rarely find things my size in the footwear line (12), but today I did. I scored a pair of Highlander brand ghillie brogues! FOR $9.99!!!

    You have got to be kidding me... The only thing I find at my local VV are old slippers that have been ridden hard and put away wet.

    Congratulations on your find!

    I forgot to mention... never been worn! Not a scuff on the sole, heel or the label inside!
