Where can I buy 2 different size shoes from?
Due to about a million surgeries on my right foot since I was four years old, it has always been a little smaller than my left foot. For a while I would buy shoes and they would be a little small for my left foot but a little big for my right foot. I am tried of doing that so my question is are there any specialty stores where you can get two different size shoes without having to pay for two pairs, whether it be online or chain store?
Can you remove paint from suede shoes?

Does LLBean kill sheep to make "Sheepskin" slippers?
Some slippers use synthetic shearling, which is really polyester, a completely synthetic material made from petroleum, not animals. The LLBeans slippers are made from shearling, which is the tanned skin of sheep. They are slaughtered the same way cows and sheep are slaughtered to make regular leather, beef, and lamb. The process of turning sheep skin into shearling is the same as making regular leather, except that the hair is not shaved off first.
Shoes: How sturdy are the famous LL Bean boots?
I have found them to be quite sturdy. Of course they are not really intended for everyday wear, except in winter weather. But I got bored with mine after several winters, and gave them away long before they ever wore out. In fact, I would say that by the time I gave them away there was still almost no visible wear to the outsole.

Why are ‘those’ LL Bean winter boots so popular? They don’t really have much grip in icy conditions.
Very few boots of any kind are going to work in very icy conditions unless they are made for it.Winter boots are made to keep your feet warm and dry with insulation and waterproof bottoms. They are made to have traction on snow and better grip on ice but not to completely prevent slipping.Check out the results of this study on ice traction of winter boots, only about 10% of boots gave decent ice traction:Why your winter boots may not keep you upright on ice | CBC NewsI have LL Bean duck boots and I find them less slippery than other boots which have harder rubber soles but by no means are they slip proof. But I find the softer rubber, low profile chain-tread soles work not badly on mixed ice and snowThe leather and rubber combination means your feet stay dry.The shearling lining means I can wear them in double-digit minus tempsThe chain-tread works on snow and is ok on ice with the soft rubber.If you want a boot with superior ice traction, you have to get a pair with a sole engineered for ice like Vibram Arctic Grip.Or Green Diamond solesOr put some Yaktrax on
Who patented the LL Bean boots?

How long do LL Bean hunting boots last?
Decided to try out the LL Bean hunting boots and see if the positive reviews were true. Here is my take after several years of owning this boot. Pros: Kept my feet dry in rain and snow. Surprisingly great ankle support. Laces stay tied. Definitely durable with no significant wear after several years.Cons: Difficult to remove the boot, the liner may be part of the problem. The grip on snow is questionable. Ended up slipping quite a bit on hard surfaces with fresh powder. Be careful on ice. Wish the sole had a better gripping surface and maybe a softer rubber compound for better traction. I' ll take a hit on sole durability for increased traction.“Hunting isn’t just something we do, it's part of who we are”. For any kind of hunting, the boots are the most important gear as they are the contact point of the hunter with nature. Still looking for Best Hunting Boots check this out.
If my shoe size is a 9.5 (E and a bit), should I order a 9.5 D or a 9.5 EE in a boot?
If I tell you, it may not fit you properly so I won't. Buyer beware when it comes to buying shoes online, and I do not rec. using PayPal. I got screwed, took 3 years for my credit. Avoid buying shoes, on sale that states: "Final Sale No returns." I bought 2 pair of shoes, $700 worth @ Zappos, where they have free shipping & free returns. I am a 5 1/2, so I bought a size 6. Returned them. Ordered a 5, too small. I saved $700. I went to Nordstrom's, they're having shoe sales. Found 2 shoes, both less than $300. Both were rated as 'best comfortable shoes for walking'. BTW: I wore one of the boots for 4 hours, and I didn't even do that much walking, mostly standing on the same spot . . . . and I was already limping. I took it back the following day! I found the perfect boots, from Piperline, finally after 4 tries! I found a second pair @ Clark's, just next door to our hotel room in Spain, most comfortable boots in the world! My son bought a pair of Nike beach sandals. They didn't come in his size, so he bought the one larger. They weren't sold in stores! He was walking around sandals too big, only because he didn't want to pay for return shipping and re-stocking fees. Try different sizes. Not all size-8 shoes fit the same, even from one designer. Walk on an uncarpeted surface. This is the only way to test how shoes will feel when pounding the pavement. Shoes that are good for some, may hurt your feet. Just saying!
