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

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!

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 :)

My current shoes are 10E (wide), and they fit a lot better than a normal 10 when I tried both sizes of the same shoe at the store.

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.
