So, I have a "problem." I'm suffering from shoe withdrawal. I haven't bought a pair of shoes--any shoes--in over 6 months, and I'm starting to feel it. My left eye is twitching.Add to that the fact that in the last two weeks, not one but TWO pairs of my favorite walking flats have developed holes in the soles.
