What size shoe do you wear.
I wear size 9 usually, depending on the shoe or boot.

17. Well..
I wear a 2 1/2, children's.

I know, it's a bit unbelievable. And, yes, I've heard all the jokes about how do my feet hold up my body, etc. :(

Let me tell you, it's hell to try to find a pair of heels... hell.

27. I have a hard time finding shoes to fit,
Believe me I understand.

One foot is a little bigger then the other, I know the hell of shoe shopping.

I just hate to go.

31. They usually don't believe what size I wear...
..and the first thing they do is bring over the foot measurer... then they have to go get the one for children. Then, I say, "Well, has it changed since the last time?!" *sigh*

35. It seems like I have to try on a 1000 pairs to find one pair that fits and that I can live with.
With my ankle injury I have to have high top shoes now, if I wear low tops I need wear my ankle brace.

10. My dear texanwitch...
It depends on the shoe...

But normally a 9 or 10...

My feet are elongating!

At least they're not as narrow as they used to be!

Finding narrow shoes was a giant pain...

Medium widths are much more common!

:hi:

I have a wide foot.
Been looking for a new pair and can't find a pair that fits.

I am down to one pair of shoes that look decent, not counting my Army boots.

She can knit for both of us.

I just don't like busy work, but in my Grandmother's day knitting was important.

38. My Grandmother tried really hard but nothing worked.
She liked to sew, knit and to embroider.

I have some of her pillow cases, she would embroider anything.

I also have some of her quilts, she had big frame hanging in the front bedroom.

She was really not happy with me.

42. Actually, I mentioned because I noted something interesting once
I asked several folks I knew what their ring size was because mine matched my shoe size. 4 of them also noted it matched. Thought it was odd :)

55. Nine and a half American
And forty in Birkenstocks, which is all I wear these days. I have Neanderthal feet, as a colleague once told me.

And - yup - I know all about the jokes regarding Progressives and Birks. I also have absolutely miserable feet after almost forty years as a nurse. These hippie shoes make my feet feel young again.
