And finally from me - I found another pair! They are a different color but the same style. They were a little more expensive, but the seller has a 5 star history of selling Loubs and other high end shoes so I felt more comfortable. They are currently on their way to me!!
Thank you again to everyone in this thread for all your help!!
Enjoy your new shoes & when you least expect it...YOU got something that
you are happy with...see, it all works out in the end
