Two questions

1. Besides online stores, are there any other places to buy breast forms? I live in the Maryland/Washington DC area if that helps.
2. There's a specific pair of boots I found online that I want to buy, but I'm not sure if it will fit. I usually wear size 8 to size 9 men's shoes. The conversion chart on the site adds 1 1/2 to men's size to get the women's size, but I heard you should add 2 whole sizes. Any suggestions on what size I should get?

As for boot size, I suggest going into a Payless or DSW and trying on a pair or two. My men's size is 7.5 but my women's size is 8.5. So the "guidlines" that suggest going up 1.5 or 2 sizes do not necessary fit all.

Hi Amy,
I've bought most of my shoes online - and sent back quite a few. Most reliable vendors include an easy stickon label for you to use in returning merchandise. They do charge you for the shipping, however. Shoe sizes are variable, but I usually order one size larger in women's shoes - and wider, also. Don't be bashful about returning merchandise. Just keep the original box and packing stuff. I often use
www.shoedini.com .
Good luck,
Hugs,
Lydia

Amy,
I wear size 9 in men's, size 11 in women's. Payless seems to be an exception, as in some of their styles, I can get away with 10W.
