[Ansteorra] Cheap footwear.

[Ceallach mac Donal]

If you're willing to spend $75, Bohemond carries Mary Rose shoes and
Turnshoes for that price.  (

RenBoots carries a decent enough mary-jane for the ladies at $69
( http://www.renboots.com/mary_jane.html )

And I found those birkenstocks in european sizes 35-47 from $67-$75 at
