Well, after carefully studying this list of items, I might just have to make a trip to the states Lori. I have a 2 week break in January, and might have to fly home, as I'm sure it would be incredibly expensive to get these things sent here! I'll check some of the sporting goods stores in Dubai, but I'm doubtful at this time. And most likely would need to try the shoes on, rather than just chance that my 7 1/2 is the same no matter what the brand of shoes/boots. Will keep you posted.
