Thanks Joe--It's nice someone brought this up. My daughter was teasing me one day about how big my feet are. She hates to go shoe shopping with me, says I am too picky and it takes to long for me to find anything I like. She just doesn't understand how difficult it is to find something that doesn't hurt. To be honest, my feet really aren't that much bigger than they were, it's just I can't stand to have the shoes touch me, anywhere! It's very difficult to find a shoe that doesn't touch you!
So, this summer when she was here, we both found a pair of sneakers. Her's were 8 1/2 and mine were 10W. When we got home, she was teasing me about how big mine were and I said--gemme your shoes. She was still laughing, until I put her shoes on my, what she things are "hugh" feet, and I tied them and stood up and walked in them. Then she asked why I buy such big shoes?
It's hard to find something comfy and when I do, it's hard to keep them on my feet. Finding shoes is a full time job.
Thanks for this thread Joe.
