kyburgSkechers Family Days event coming up in July. You need shoes, you need to talk to me now. 50% off everything in the stores over $20.
I have to be there to get the discount; but I'm going to do one better - you want me to buy you shoes, let me know. You can pay me back later. I know I have LOT, underline LOT of people on my friends list who can't afford a pair of shoes right now.
Size, style and color. Sport shoes run half a size small, leather shoes usually dead on. You don't know what size you are, go get sized. You got time. If I can get what you ask, I'll try to get something close to it.
Trying to be at the store for everyone is a nightmare - this allows me to make one trip count.
Yes, there is an upper limit to how many pairs I can get - but I've never made it yet.
Also, you have to decloak and give me names and addresses for shipping.
If you also need a burger with your shoes, let me know.
You want to trade me something, I love bath fizzies.

Date: 2003-06-13 12:24 pm (UTC)Tell me what it is. The style, size and color are on the underside of the tongue in sport shoes - and once you know what that looks like, finding it on other kinds gets real easy.
Try them on. I assure you, the ones I send you won't be any different if I can get the same exact thing at the store down the street.
And being the data geek I am, I can make sure of that.

Date: 2003-06-13 12:34 pm (UTC)I mean... I have a deformity. So it's not just "Ooooh, those look cute, got 'em in a 5?", it's a long process of determining whether the toe box has sufficient room and the material won't chafe the mutant toe, etc.; I can't buy shoes without trying them on, walking in them for a while, and getting a professional opinion....

Date: 2003-06-13 12:57 pm (UTC)I consider this my "paying it forward" - this is the first really GOOD piece of life I've ever had, fiscally. Lots of people have had to carry me and mine in the past - and really, $12.50 for a pair of shoes for someone who doesn't have any isn't all that much.

Buuuut if you're taking prepaid orders... ;)

You are faboo.
Date: 2003-06-13 01:06 pm (UTC)I'm going to take up on your kind offer - not for me but for her.
I'm just checking to see what she needs and in what size. Can I do 2 pairs?
I can't thank you enough. You simply rock. I hope the Universe gives you back beautiful karmic gifties.

Date: 2003-06-13 02:53 pm (UTC)I do have a PayPal account - so I can send the invoice with the shoes - *winks*
Re: You are faboo.
Date: 2003-06-13 02:55 pm (UTC)Of course you can do two pairs - just make sure you get the three magic words - style, size and color. Make double sure - I can't handle returns or exchanges!

Date: 2003-06-14 08:52 am (UTC)Actually, I'll check Monday and let you know.
You got an email address, and a bank account - you can have a PayPal account. No worries.
Email a mailing addy to kyburg@livejournal.com and I can estimate the shipping.
