in general do you like shopping for shoes?

[archersangel]

i don't just mean looking for something to try on or browsing through a site on-line, but also the process of trying them on and walking around in them to see if they fit right.

i don't, for a number of reasons;

#1 i'm a size 9 & that's fairly big for women's feet.

#2 said feet are also "wide width" & many shoes in your basic store (wal-mart, for example) don't have shoes in wide width, so i have to go to a 9 1/2 or a 10. or if they do have "wide width" available, it's sometimes not quite wide enough & i have to go to "wider width."

#3 i have a high top part of the foot (i forget what that's called) which makes it hard sometimes to get a good fitting shoe.

#4 i have thick calves, so most boots are out.

I'm a size 8 (UK) (42 Euro) and I find that nowadays I'm much more likely to be able to go into a shop and find something that fits me. When I was a schoolgirl with size 7 feet, it was very hard to find shoes that were comfortable, but it's getting better. Also there is a shop not far from here that hosts some fantastic footwear, and will order for me if they don't have my size in stock. Shoe shopping has improved greatly!
