Okay - I have determined a few things from all of your posts/pictures.
First - THANKYA, I am in your debt
Second - I think I will fit a men's 43.5 Guess I'm not quite a "49 Clementine"
Third - SIDI's in women aren't made in my size, so now I am off to explore men's shoes.

I hope this thread helps others as much as it has me.
I have checked out SIDI, Nikes, Diadoras, and Carnacs. I know more 'bout shoes than I did in the beginning.

Thanks!
