To get the only type of shoes that will fit comfortably I have to go to a wide-shoe specialty shop.

I am a shoe hate...You definitely have the awesome!<br /><br />I am a shoe hater as well. When I finally find a pair that I like I will wear them until they fall apart, too. Shopping for shoes or any kind of clothing is a nightmare for me. I absolutely hate it. My guy tells me that he likes shopping with me because I know exactly what I want and I go get it and then get the heck out of the store. I don't like crowds either so I try to shop online for as much as possible.Forgottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136309123298849293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799087240760337340.post-63676520426825673272013-08-25T14:31:38.568-07:002013-08-25T14:31:38.568-07:00Huzzah!

I was told that alternating 2 pair of shoes would allow them to rest between wearings and they'd last as long as 3 pair of shoes normally do. I always try to alternate the pairs. (I find it mentally uncomfortable when I'm travelling and can't take the second pair.)<br /><br />Shoes are a particular problem for my middle child, the poor dear. I have gotten good (but not great) at dodging when she kicks the offending (uncomfortable at that instant) shoe off. She did get me with an ice skate once. She loves to ice skate (Yay! we found a sport the entire family likes), but getting the skates comfortable is often challenging. When her feet stop growing so quickly, I want to get her her very own skates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799087240760337340.post-71430961923754141592013-08-25T09:18:15.836-07:002013-08-25T09:18:15.836-07:00At least you don't have my problem -- I wear a...At least you don't have my problem -- I wear a 10 1/2 6E (or a 10 6E or 11 6E, depending on brand and the like).<br /><br />In practicality, this means that just about nobody carries my shoe size -- I either have to mail order them (what I did for the shoes I'm currently wearing) or settle for shoes that are too narrow.Alexander Cheezemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446703016516906469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799087240760337340.post-52345789818077919102013-08-25T06:55:45.039-07:002013-08-25T06:55:45.039-07:00Same here.

I do the same with bras also. Basically, I try as much as possible not to shop, so I buy in bulk once and keep everything until it falls apart.

And if it's not a shoe I can wear, be prepared for mess. [By a few kinds I mean a couple different models of running sneaker and a couple different models of Tiva-style sandals.]Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413844178426365789noreply@blogger.com
