Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hi, Y'all (yes, we really talk that way in Texas) I know a lot of us need wide shoes, since our feet get shorter and some of us wear insoles or AFOs. I measure a 6.5 EEE, and finding wide shoes has been a lifelong challenge -- even before the CMT really began to change my feet. I discovered Hush Puppies brand runs really wide. I order the shoes online, either from Nordstrom or the Hush Puppies site. I find that Hush Puppies " W " width is the same as an " extra-wide " and that the " WW " is too wide for even me! My CMT feet are the kind with the very high arch and instep. Of course, I can't wear any shoe that doesn't tie up or have some kind of strap to keep it on my foot. If I try to wear women's pumps, the shoes fall off my feet and stay on the floor behind me when I step forward! (lol!) When I need a " dress up " shoe, I take a pair of low- heeled wide pumps to the shoe repair guy and have them put straps on the shoes for me. So, now a question for y'all that still have sensation in your feet... How do you keep your socks from mashing up your toes when you put on your shoes? Anybody know a trick to help with this? -- Folly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I know what you mean - my feet measure 12 1/2 kids wide (which is really difficult to find), although I usually wear a size 2 to get my arches in. With kids shoes, I can usually find shoes with straps (very elegant, I must say), but often the straps are too short. So I mostly don't get dressed up and just wear gym shoes - K-Swiss or New Balance have good arches in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a shoe fall off as I stepped down in front of 50 people at church. I wear thin socks from Target that are soft and comfy. jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
