In Part 1 of my shoe search saga, I got the call that my wedding dress had arrived, giving me a sudden sense of urgency in my search for the perfect pink pair of shoes. After “my” petaled Louboutins disappeared off the face of the planet, I expanded my search. There weren’t as many pink pairs out as I’d expected, but I was not ready to give up hope!

My shoe search got even better when Mr. Turtle’s parents volunteered to buy me any pair of wedding shoes I wanted for my birthday! (I know, I am one lucky girl!) I finally zeroed in on these beauties:

“Micha” by Bourne

I told FMIL Turtle that I’d finally chosen the pair, so she went online and ordered them from Nordstrom. I remember feeling so relieved! But unfortunately, the next day, she got an email from Nordstrom saying that they were actually sold out of the “Micha” in my size. Luckily, they still had them on Endless.com! She placed the order and when they arrived, I LOVED them! Like, more than I have ever loved a pair of shoes!

But there was a huge problem: the shoes ran way too big. Like, I know you can’t tell how huge they are in the pictures, but no padding or shoe inserts could have made it better. When my heels were up against the back, my toes weren’t even visible, and I could barely walk in them! We immediately went online to order the pair in a smaller size and they were gone! I called the customer service line at Endless, and talked to the sweetest employee who genuinely seemed as devastated as I was when I told her they were for my wedding. But the shoe in this color had been discontinued, and there was nothing she could do about it. Luckily, Nordstrom had the shoes in a smaller size so once again, I placed an order! And once again, I got an email from Nordstrom the next day saying that they did not have the shoe in stock. I called their customer service line, trying to be as charming as possible. It didn’t make a difference. The shoes were gone. So, pretty much, Nordstrom.com lies.

Goodbye beautiful shoes.
