In all honesty? Many are going to be sort of 'envious' that you can wear comfy footwear when they can't!
When I wear sandals, that don't put pressure on my fussy toes? I try and wear socks that are also comfy, and blend in with the footwear. Less noticable that.
As for finding perfect footwear? It's a BIG hit or miss for many of us! When you try them on in a store? That doesn't really tell you IF you can LIVE WITH THEM! I've donated lot's of lost leaders to the charities over the last few years.
Good luck and keep searching!  !'s - j |
Very very true. Thanks for that much needed reminder!
I do have to find a solution for winter, because, as I said, -25 degree weather will not work with holes in my shoes, even with socks on. But at this point, I can't even get a regular shoe on--and there are no stores around here that have extra extra wide shoes--so I have no idea what I will do. Guess I'll have to keep searching.
