An urgent problem

So I'm in a dumb situation. I moved back to NY from DC (where I go to grad school) for the summer, and I assumed that I would work at a old job I had, which required a very casual wardrobe. These plans fell through, and now I'm going the temp route.

Problem is, I didn't bring any appropriate shoes for the temp interview, or for office work. I need to buy shoes in NYC tomorrow, but I don't want to spend a lot on them.

The interview is late tomorrow. I wear a size 13 (D or E). Where should I look?

Thanks!

or Burlington Coat Factory on 23rd and 6th, though their shoe selection tends to be moderate to worse. For temping, though, you may find something acceptable.

Isn't the shoe section at Burlington basically a Marty's? If yes, they may have some semi-dressy Bally's and such.

Not from NYC, but how about Century 21? Maybe a hit and miss there though...maybe not.
