Shoe question
Permalink  
 


Ok. I'm at the end of my footwear rope.

I used to have a size 7 foot. I could buy online or straight off the shelf. Anything would fit and I'd be good to go.

Then I had two kids.

Now my feet measure a 6 1/2. My arch measures at a 6 and NOTHING fits. My foot is not wide but it is high.

I've bought cheap shoes and I've bought expensive shoes. I've given them all away.

I don't know what to do. I've gone to real shoe stores (expensive ones) and had them size my shoes.

I've considered wrapping my feet in duct tape instead of shoes.

Any ideas what I should do? I'm getting tired of spending money on shoes only to give them to my friends.

I hear duct tape will be all the rage in fall, just saying.

I'm the worse when it comes to shoes.  I only own like four pairs, but my thoughts were:  would being fitted for arch supports help?  Also, for summer, Travis swears by Birkenstocks because I guess they mold to your feet.  Though I don't recommend taking Birks into winter like he does and pairing them with white socks.

Did you see cloudy with a chance of meatballs?

Maybe you could order shoe in a can.

I have come to the conclusion that unless you have prepregnancy feet, shoe selection is exteremly difficult.  Frankly, I have trouble finding anything that fits and wearable beyond the ugly sensible shoes.  I also have better luck with slip ons like clogs and sandals than I do with a real shoe.  I usually end up with one pair I can wear for the season and then that's all I wear.

I have NO idea what to tell you, Sonya. My feet got bigger (and wider), but I haven't had too much trouble.

That said, I basically live in crocs (not the traditional ones-but the brand-I have all kinds of crocs, lol. I might be single handedly keeping them in business) so I might not be the best one to ask. I also don't have to wear anything nice for work or anything, so that helps.

You know, crocs makes heels too. Seriously. I adore crocs. And they are opening up an entire crocs store at my mall! (they have a kiosk, but it is limited) I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. Yes, I know how sad that is.

I am sorry I am not of any help.
