So while at Valley Fair today, I stopped in and asked if they had any idea what I should do&#8230;and the fellow on duty said to bring them in and they might be able to do something for me.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBecause I will do literally anything to avoid going grocery shopping, I actually drove all the way home, got them, and brought them back to the mall, where we discovered the problem: a hairline crack on the left side of the heel on each shoe.  Not only did that cause the air-squishing, water had shipped in through the crack and been absorbed by the sole material; they were legitimately slightly heavier than a new pair of the same shoes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd I know this because after consulting with the other employee in the shop, the guy marked up the old pair as &#8220;damaged&#8221; and gave me a new pair free of charge, apologizing that he could only give me an even exchange since I didn&#8217;t have the original receipt.  Which, you know, is just freakin&#8217; fine by me.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo yeah.  If you need some good comfy shoes, go by Clark&#8217;s in VF and buy from our man Gilbert.  (They also have a sale on &#8211; buy one, get a second pair 25% off, which means I finally have some black upscale-casual shoes other than Docs for the first time in five years and for only $53, which is pretty damn good I think.)  So yeah. Clark&#8217;s FTW.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt can rain now. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the problem I had with my Clarks muckers &#8211; the duck-boot-looking things that I got for the trip to Europe last fall.
