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 like shopping for shoes in general, although I don't like HAVING to shop for shoes, if that makes sense? I love going into a store and looking around and trying on stuff if it looks pretty; I hate needing a specific type of shoe - flats, loafers, sandals, boots, whatever - and having to find one that fits me that I like. As a woman with calf muscles (I used to be a long-distance runner) I also can't buy boots that don't lace. (WHO are these mysterious people with tiny calves that boots are made for? I DON'T KNOW. I don't know a single person who can just buy knee-high boots without problems.)

That is exactly my reaction to shoe shopping as well!
