Frustrated Internet Shopper

It's not that I can't find what I want (see Frye women's Reese T-strap, left), it's that I can't find someone to sell them to me. Sure, Zappos.com is great; it's my go-to shoe site, and my second is Piperlime, but Zappos doesn't have my size and Piperlime doesn't have this style. Even the manufacturer, Frye, isn't sure they have the shoes in stock. (I have a call in to verify.) A Google/Yahoo search of "Frye Reese T-strap" returns a bunch of shopping comparison sites, plus Zappos and one other site that only has size 9. Ugh. I guess I won't get these shoes, but I do have a new appreciation for the stores that actually do have the desired merchandise in stock.

Hi Amy, saw your post about the shoes you are looking for. I did do a search and came up with some hits. I think there was about 3 or 4 styles. Hope this helps. The following url is rather long, but is a direct hit on that particular style.
