Women’s black practice shoes
Posted by Kyra on 16 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Kick Me !! (the poster)
Hi all,
I have a brand-new pair of women’s black practice shoes, the ones that look like tennis shoes. I ordered them on-line on sale, and they turn out to be nowhere near my size. I’m guessing they’d fit about American size 7.5. If you know anyone who could use them, perhaps for practice on Sonny’s beautiful dance floor, please let me know. I’d like $25.
