Women with narrow feet

[Aerows]

Where do you shop for shoes? I'm an 8A due to long toes, and it is a bear to go shoe shopping.

Anyone know of a good outlet where they actually have shoes for narrow feet? I have to special order running shoes, for heavens sake.

1. i think its stuart wietzmen or some thing similar my other half shops at

Shes a big ferragamo fan, though she pays a lot for shoes, usually a couple of grand for one or two pairs. Dont know anywhere cheap im afraid.

2. I've never heard about width before

I found this blog
http://www.barkingdogshoes.com/newshoe/multiple-width-shoes/

and followed the link to a site called http://www.footsmart.com/ , they have like 383 shoes with 8 narrow.

Is there a difference between 2A and A ?

4. Never heard the expression "Never mind the quality : feel the width"

Actually that was the title of a UK sitcom about a Jewish and Irish tailor working together : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Mind_the_Quality,_Feel_the_Width

... but the only realtime place I found easily having narrow sizes was Nordstrom Rack (ID'd
as as outlet store).

6. I've got a few dance friends who have shoe size problems but not width.

They're adult size 2 / euro 35 /US womens 5 ?

Shoes like these always seem to start in a US 6.

7. Had this "problem" all my life.

Actually I quite like my lovely narrow feet! Anyway when I was young my mother let me buy Capezios because they came in narrow. These days I go to Zappos on line and search out N widths. Naturalizer is often good. Clark's too. But I wear Birkenstocks mostly, because of comfort. One thing about narrow feet. They don't appreciate when their owner lets her weight creep up!

8. Auditionshoes.com

They have decent styles in A, AA, and AAA. I even saw AAAA once. Dress and casual. They're good about returns, too.

9. I have the opposite

very wide feet (with very high arch)... as an official tester for New Balance, I know they carry a wide range of sizes and I love the shoes... the joy of a good fitting pair of shoes is immeasurable

16. I have this problem too

Other than athletic shoes, it seems that the shoe designers think that people with wide feet live in retirement homes. I'm 33 and do not want to wear the same shoes as my grandmother.

I live in flip flops when possible (and yay for having a job that lets me wear them to work) as they're the only sandals that fit my feet.

10. What kind of shoes?

One of my brothers has feet that are basically kid-width with finger-length toes. I don't know the size but I do know he can write with his feet as a parlor trick. Tired of having to special order shoes, he basically wears nothing but Converse All-Stars (and now One-Stars) or indoor soccer shoes as soccer shoes are designed to be as narrow as possible. (Apparently it makes for harder, more-accurate kicking. I know that football kickers typically wear cleats 1.5 sizes smaller than their regular shoe size for the same reason.)

That might be helpful for running on non-asphalt surfaces and for general daily-wear kicks...but I wouldn't go road-racing in them (they have paper-thin soles with little cushion) and they're not dress-sexy or business-suitable.

11. There are several West Marines in your area, Aerows.

For your lifestyle, you might want to take a look at what they have.

The shoes they carry tend to be pricey, but very well made, are generally waterproof, last a long time and they have great sales from time to time.

And many of their styles come in narrow.

You might want to also look at Birkenstocks. I resisted them for a long time, but have developed plantar fasciitis and they are really helpful with that. They also come in narrow with the additional plus of being able to adjust the width at several points.

12. Check out Zappos.com.
