Remember those Buster Brown shoes? I remember the picture of Buster Brown on the box, and even though I really wanted a pair of Buster Brown saddle shoes I could never get past the picture of that little winking bastard on the box with his idiotic dog. Buster Brown was the kid that all the teachers liked but had the idea that he was trouble. He would offer you his lollipop and then tell you he had just fished it out of the toilet. He would offer to push you on the swings and push a little too hard so you fell off. Buster Brown was bad news.

I never did get Buster Brown shoes. I had to get cheap shoes. Cheap shoes too big for my feet. The summer before my senior year in high school my Nana took me shoe shopping. The salesman asked what size and I said "Ten, wide". He measured my foot and I turned out to be an 8 1/2 wide. [That also worked with my bra size. I ended up a cup size bigger than the bras I was buying.]

Two things that you should have measured for you are definitely shoes and bras. Your comfort depends on it.
