Too tight shoes!

Gads, my feet are big!!

A 12 wide fits fine, but sometimes the cuter shoes only come in a narrow, so I suffer.

Fashion is more important than comfort, isn't it?

No I try that once and end up throwing the shoes away. I just had to have that pair of heels, but I wear a wide and my toes were killing me. Wasn't worth the pain.

If it's a closed toe shoe, I prefer a wide. I can usually get sandals and those cute strappy heels in medium. Size 10 isn't too bad. When I find a shoe I like, most of the time I can find a pair to fit me.

Hugs,

at Zappos.com they are a brand name of (type z) just go to zappos and type in type z in search. They aren't cheap but if they have them in my size I am going to order a pair.

They list wide width's in the pair I am looking at. I'm lucky that I wear a 9 1/2 or 10 in medium ladies shoes but I will try a 9 or 9 1/2 when I order in wide. I have one pair of black pumps this same style but they are a little tight and hurt after a hour or so. So its time to spend a little more and see if I can get a good fit.

I've thought about going out to the MOA and looking there but haven't done that lately to cold.

Hey you ladies are so lucky. I would be in heaven if cute shoes were available in size 10.
I know your sizes are different, but just the same your GG must be related to bigfoot.

The feminine shoe is for me that most important accessory. Size 10 is so hard to find that my shoes stay with me for years.

Cute shoes stop at an 8. I cant even sqeeze into an 8. I squeeze a nine, even then I try to buy a style with an ornamental strap. Directly below the strap I would make a hole on the edge of the leather with a paper hole punch. This eases the fit a bit without ruining the appearance.

My dad had size 5. Why didnt I inherit that size. If I did I would have dozens of pairs, instead of the 4 pairs I have now.

you lucky lucky girls!

Glad to hear about Value City. I wear a 12 regular, and have had some trouble trying to find them.

I used to think so until I started developing foot problems, now I look for both fashion AND comfort.

They showed up and a size nine in wide fits and seems pretty good after trying them on for a little while. Next weekend I am going out to a getogether and I will wear them for while and let you gals know the whole truth

Some say fashion and pain go together.

If I can learn to post a pic on this forum I will post one next week after the party.

Function and purpose is more important.

If the shoes are only a little too tight, you can buy a product at shoe repairer that softens and stretches leather. The shoe will mould better to your foot and it works quickly. You just spray it on outer and inner of the shoe, stretch the leather from the inside using a spoon, wipe off excess and wear immediatly.

Along that same line, for too tight shoes...
You can also get a shoe strecher (sp, I can never spell that!).
You've prob seen these in the shoe depts, I got mine at Target.

Goes inside the shoe, and has a screw type rod that you turn and it opens up the wood (or plastic) shoe form that goes toward the toe of the shoe. Just put it in, crank it open, let it sit for a few hours, and then crank it somemore. It really does work well if your shoes are just a bit too tight around your foot. Of course, it won't do anything for too short shoes!

Seems to work best on leather rather than manmade materials.

Good luck... and have a great time shoe shopping!!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that wears a size 9.5 womans shoe.
There are tons of styles in this size.
