My feet have grown in the 25 years I've put on all my obesity.... I wonder if they'll shrink when I do? ;)

3. ladies 8 or 8.5
and yes, if you're looking to buy me a new pair of running shoes, that'd be great. There's some Spira shoes on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods (online).

thanks!

5. I wear a size 7 3/4
If I buy a 7 1/2, it's tight so I usually buy an 8. And, by the end of the day, they don't want to stay on my feet. Which is fine if they're flats...but if they're heels, that can be a problem.

Edited on Fri May-12-06 09:10 AM by LisaLynne
I was a 6.5 when I was younger, but I guess feet expand with age. Or I have less tolerance for pain. Now, it's all about roomy comfort for me! :)

35. waterskiing was invented in Minnesota
and it seems like every kid tries it at least once. I've done it a few times myself, but I'm no pro at it. But when you live in a state with 18,000 lakes, chances are you're going to spend some time up on the skis, getting towed around a lake by a speedboat.

my feet have grown, or flattened out, or something. However, that means there are more shoes to pick from since I moved up from the heavily picked over 8.5

29. Size 10-10.5
The shoes I'm wearing now are Dr. Martens oxfords, UK size 9--which is equivalent to a US size 10, but they seem to run a little large (or did, anyway; mine were made in England, and they're made in China these days, so I have no idea whether the fit has changed thanks to differences in manufacture).

And find it very annoying that in a lot of stores, the really cute shoes are only available in a 6 or 7. Most of the women I know are in the 8 or 9 range.

47. Men can get away with big feet. Women can't.
I find it difficult to buy the sandals I want because my feet hang out over the side. LOL

51. but just barely
I'm a guy with feet that are bigger and narrower than average, and finding shoes in regular shoe stores can be a challenge. Usually there are literally three or four pairs to choose from, and that's it. Even at specialty shoe stores it's difficult to find something a lot of the time. For example, most manufacturers do not make half-sizes above size 12, so you are out of luck if you wear a 12 1/2, or 13 1/2, or 14 1/2, etc.

Once I find a pair of shoes that fits, I literally wear them until they fall apart.

52. You would think manufacturers would get a clue.
People are getting taller and along with that it means our feet are getting bigger. Everyone in my family has big feet. It can be tough for me to find nice dress shoes that have some little bit of comfort. I do what you do... I wear shoes until they just don't have any more life to them.

and ask me how many pairs of shoes I have. Like 10 total, 3 black pairs, 2 tan or beige pairs, one red, one brown one taffy colored, and 2 white, and that's it. With these feet, I have to spend at least 60.00 to 100.00 for each pair.
