Can't get 'em in my size (47 extra extra wide) for a price I can justify for a pair of shoes I'd wear once or twice a year. Haven't seen them advertised in my size ever.

My grandmother (who was born in Germany) taught that "you put your best money in your every day shoes." I'm willing to buy high-quality shoes if I'm going to wear them a lot, but for shoes I'll rarely wear? Forget it.
