Tired of the small sizing....arrrrrg!

[OakLeaf]

You know what I love shopping for even though I'm a tough fit? Shoes. ... I've worn the same size since 6th grade. It's kind of refreshing if you think about it.

Can I hate you? I'm wearing shoes three sizes longer and two sizes wider than I was when I stopped growing in height. But I think it's mainly because first I stopped wearing shoes that constricted my feet, and then my feet responded to not being constricted. Who knew toes were supposed to stick straight out instead of curling under?!

Your toes curled under? I think the size you wore when you stopped growing was smaller than your correct size.

You can hate me if you want, but it's not worth it! My toes have stuck straight out and spread like they are supposed to my whole life...hence the 'tough fit' comment. I have a ridiculously hard time finding shoes that are attractive and comfortable! I get super excited when I score a pair, so it's worth the effort for me.

drift, drift away ... Have I mentioned Leming shoes before? I am loving mine so much. I have them in brown and frost grey (which is much more of a true grey than the picture on their website) and I'm thinking about a third pair in black! They're attractive enough for casual wear, I only have to buy one size too long to fit my EEEEs, and they come out of the washing machine all shiny and new.

Those are cute and look comfy! Unfortunately, they say they are not for narrow feet, so I can't wear 'em. Bummer! But glad you found some shoes you really like, Oakleaf.

I wear a women's 7 but am weird as I measure an "A" width. Not an "AA" (which is sometimes labeled "N" for narrow), not a "B" (Medium), but an A. That means I can't order any shoes online unless I've bought them before. And shoe shopping can be frustrating as I pretty much always have to get a B/Medium width, many of which are too wide, so I have to try and try to find something to fit. Thus I tend to wear a pair of shoes almost forever, or put up with it slipping off my heel and buy inserts and so forth in an attempt to make it fit better. In my case, clothes shopping is definitely less tricky than shoe shopping!
