the best place i've found(and it was akin in my life to finding the holy grail) is the DSW shoe warehouse!

when i was young, well, up until about 10 years ago, shoes were a luxury. i had 1 pair of "good" shoes, 1 pair of sneakers and 1 pair of "sturdy" shoes or boots for bad weather. now, having been turned on to DSW, well, yeah, i go a little crazy a few times a year! s.
