Luckily, I've got the size 40½ EUR (UK 7, USA female 9½), so I can buy at the woman's section in Dutch shoe stores in Arnhem as Roberto, Manfield, Le Ballon, Van Dael and some more. Often during the sales due to financial reasons. Sometimes I buy als second hand via Internet (
www.marktplaats.nl en
www.ebay.nl) and at flea markets. Netherlands becomes one big flea market at Queens day (April 30th, birthday of the former Queen Juliana. Queen Beatrix' birthday is at the end of cold and rainy January so she decided to do Queens day at the birthday of her mum)
Unfortanility, size 40 became the most worn size in the Netherlands due to the length of the Dutch women. So I must take and pay quickly my favourite pair of boots. When I don't another people buy the boots. Esspecialy during the sale period. But most of the time I've luck and can add a wonderful new pair to my collection.
