$5 Shoe Warehouse

I didn’t believe it. My Jersey friend always blabbed about it. She even flaunted her finds on her feet. I still didn’t believe her. No way in the year 2009 was there actually an entire store devoted to selling woman’s shoes for…$ 5. Not only is the entire place filled with shoes for $ 5 (some for $ 7 & $ 9. Damn inflation), the establishment is named «$ 5 Shoe Warehouse» for non-​believers like myself. I had to take a picture for evidence.
Expect to spend a good chunk of time here, sifting through the selection and elbowing your neighbor who’s ecstatic as you are. Naturally, there’s an infinite amount of tacky and hideous neon and plastic abominations, but be certain that you’ll find your gems (and I use «gems» in the plural form because you can’t just walk away spending just 5 Washingtons). I even found a couple steals for my Sasquatch feet!
But you get what you pay for. I don’t expect my sandals to get me through next summer but they sure have been show stoppers — compliments galore. One friend put paranoia in my head, using my own words, «You get what you pay for, Julie. Two words: Athletes Foot». Personally? I like to play with fire. Swine flu runs a muck and no fevers have been had. I roll the dice and gamble. So, pretty feet to show off your new pedicure vs. gangrenous amputated toes. You decide. $ 5 Shoe Warehouse still gets rave reviews from me.
