>>>I am sick of this. I am a small person (5'7") and have difficultly finding freakin' size 8 shoes. What gives? 10 years ago there was footwear-a-plenty.

>>I too find it difficult to find shoes at the average store such as Macy's, etc. I am 6'7" and wear size 14, and have to go to special stores for tall men. The store I go to fits small, tall and large men. If you would like, I will look into the possibility of finding a catalog for you.

>Don't worry about it. The duty to cross the border is usually too high. Thanks though.

Make a personal trip to the US with no shoes. Then wear the new shoes when you cross back into Canada. Duty Free! This also works with small amounts of jewelry. This might also work with clothes if you are willing to cross over in just a swim suit or underwear. < bg >
