I tried on all sorts of stuff, and refused to try on anything in white.
I got me some black Nike shoes that I wore on a walk with the dog today .... it's like butter..... nice and wide on the down-step and a cushioned heel...
I may just do this on a regular basis.

But my question is on brand loyalty? Do you practice it or try on anything that may work regardless of brand? I used to be a Reebok girl - loved the hightops... in funky colors.
