First off, thanks for sharing pics! You guys all look so chic and New Yorky!
Second, I went shoe shopping today and had the exact same issues! I'm not quite as picky as you, but I was hunting for either sandals or black 'casual but not sneakers' shoes and couldn't find ANY. If I'd wanted Gladiator sandals, I'd have been golden, but I have to agree with you on flimsy soles are lame and in my case, thongs don't look all that pretty on my pasty white varicose feet. Better keep that particular aspect of me well shod.
Your Alice shoes look great tho, well found! I think you may have the beginnings of this year's Halloween costume!
