    Please check out the Amputee Shoe Exhange Photo Gallery for photos of the above shoes (better photos!). They are all RIGHT shoes and sizes 9, 9.5 or 10, depending on the shoe. They are for Sale or Swap. We can use PayPal to make payments, etc. I can let you know shipping charges, usually around $4.60 for USPS Priority Mail, unless they are heavy, then a little bit more depending on your location.

    I've added these photos in my photo gallery and also in the Amputee Shoe Exhange photo gallery.

    Thanks Gary (from Miami) for the great idea!

    Thanks to all,

    Melissa :)
