I need shoes now, but the thought of actually finding a pair that fits is depressing.

But here's what really irritates me about shopping for shoes. It's the huge variation in standards on widths (and sizes too). I can't tell you how many times I've tried on a pair marked as "wide", only to find out that they are way too narrow for my foot. I guess it really comes down to knowing your brands. When I find a brand that generally fits my foot, I'll continue to go back to the same one when I need a new pair. -Kelli <abbr><em>Kelli Madden´s last blog post..<a href="http://ezonboots.com/flat-heel-boots/wide-calf-flat-heel-boots/">Wide Calf Flat Heel Boots</a></abbr></em> Well, I can say for certain that my biggest problem is hard to find shoes I like in a wide width.

I just know I can't find my size in the store. They don't make shoes for women with big feet...it's like we don't deserve to have shoes if we can't fit into a size 7 or 8. I have a few pairs in my shopping cart now I need to check out. I really need some comfortable, great looking loafers that don't cost 100's of dollars. one shoe 125$...kidding me. I better be able to eat it when it wears out. The shoes I like are expensive...the shoes I can afford and almost fit is what I buy. Don't have the heart to spend 100's on a pair of shoes. I wear size 11, if they are made well I used to do size 9.5 or 10...haven't had a pair of shoes like that in a while what happened to our childhood memories. I remember very little. that's sad. i really only got a memory when I had something worth remembering..... thanks for stopping by! Camilla, I buy a lot of my shoes online.

I wear a size 9 1/2 and it sucks because there really isn't very much to choose from past size 8. I have always wanted a pair of high, to the knee, boots but everytime I get a pair I can never zip up the side due to my fat calves. Oh well maybe another time. Cute book by the way, all the golden books that I see remind me of my childhood, coincidently I don't have too many childhood memories either.

To be honest it's becoming more and more difficult as the footwear inductry pushes footwear sales to more of a 'disposable' commodity to get people to buy more and more shoes. It is long past the days when my mother would make me wear shoes over athletic shoes.....companies like Asics are investing shoe fit as a selling point whereas shoe manufacturing compaies are only interested in volume and not the customer.

I still haven't found a pair of shoes yet. I hate that I have on a nice outfit and busted up shoes, lol. I hope I can find a pair this weekend or next week some time. I'm still in the hunt...any shoemakers out there who need a model with big feet? Thanks Pam and you’re welcome. I still haven’t found a pair of shoes yet.

I empathize completely. Before I had my son, I was an 8.5, my feet stretched (probably because of the 100 lbs that I gained), he's born and BAM, I'm a size 10. Flash forward 13 years - The 100 lbs. came off but the size 10 shoe never did. I wear the same shoes all the time. Although I have found some great sandals in my size with lots of frilly feminine stuff. Wonderfully written post, thanks for the great read. <em>Pam's last blog post..<a href='http://whimsicalpam.blogspot.com/2008/04/long-week.html' rel="nofollow">A long week....</a></em> What a great post.
