Anyone need a pair of size 6 boots?

I'm having a shoe crisis. For years I have had a pair of workhorse Nine West mary janes. Nine West used to have a "cloud nine" line; their comfort line, which they discontinued at some point. Bastards. 'Cause get this, they were actually comfortable. This pair of much-abused mary janes still are comfortable, but they are starting to fall apart. I love these shoes, but it is getting a little embarrassing to wear them to work meetings. So I started shopping around for replacements. I can't find anything I like that is comfortable and good looking in an appropriate-for-work-yet-still-fun kind of way.

While surfing around for this mythical pair of comfy work heels, I saw a pair of boots online. Enzo Angiolinis, which I like. I once found a great pair of cool brown heels that are Enzos - also pretty comfy now that I think of it - on a business trip to Kansas City. Yes, Kansas City, who knew? (Actually, I should not be that surprised. I've often found good things in smaller cities. I bought a great vintage coat - red wool, with black faux fur collar - in Cincinnati.)

Back to the boots: Originally $170, they were on sale for $50. I could not refuse such a bargain. Who cares that we are in our low income part of the year right now? (Dumb university, paying Chris a 9 month salary.) I needed these boots. I mean, my winter boots are getting a little old, and I am all about planning ahead... So, I clicked, I entered numbers, I bought the boots. I barely glanced at the confirmation email, tapping my fingers impatiently for the box to arrive.

The box showed up this afternoon. Inside, as you may have guessed, is a lovely pair of size six boots. Unfortunately, I wear size nine. Crap. NOW I take a peek at the email. Yup, it says they are sending me a pair of size sixes. How could I not have noticed this when I ordered the boots? How could I have ordered size six? I am obsessive when I order online, checking and rechecking the details before I hit that last "finalize order" button. Going back to the web site I now see that they ONLY have size six. Crap crap crap. And now I am wondering how I could have ordered and not have entered nine as the size. I would have noticed if only one size was available. I'm going to offer them to my petite pal Ellen, but if she declines and you are small footed (and want to come pick them up), maybe we can work out a deal.
