One of my least favourite activities: Shopping for shoes

I can tell you that this is probably one of the most tedious shopping tasks for me.  I am always happy to return home after a day of shoe shopping.

First off, I need to find shoes that will look good on me and will also suit my feet.  Then I need to ensure that I am trying on the right size. Then the colour. Finally, actually trying them on.

There are two very important persons that I need alongside me whenever I go shoe shopping.  A sighted person that I trust and a friendly salesman who is patient and accommodating.

The sighted person these days is my mom who knows what I like and what I do not.  She knows my preferences and tastes in styles and this cuts down on a lot of time.  Mom does not waste any time when it comes to choosing.  She goes about her business quickly and efficiently and after choosing a few pairs, she brings them to me.

I try them on and Mom watches carefully as I do so.  Then I rise out of my chair and proceed to walk around in them.

I wait for Mom's feedback and comments and then I make my decision as to whether or not to buy.  We discuss and she tells me why her feedback is as it is.

This is one instance for me where I need assistance and there are other instances where I need similar assistance.
