Default Shopping for shoes...I want to share...

Well, what else am I gonna do today? It's raining cats and dogs, it's Saturday, the house is (mostly) clean, laundry is churning away downstairs.

I mentioned this on another thread. If you love shoes, (c'mon, 'fess up!) go to Zappos.com. No, I don't own stock-yet-, nor do I receive a commision. A friend told me about this site. I think it's wonderful! I have extra-wide, 2EE or WW, but they have even wider, for men and women. They also have narrow and extra narrow, large, etc. They have a free return service too, which is very easy to use, I know, I've used it- once. I mean, if you're East of the Missippi, what else can you do today? (Besides make Beef Burgundy for supper!)

Sure hope you had a great time shopping for shoes! Here's a word for the future, don't invest in too many cute shoes (is there such a thing as too many shoes?) Anyway, your feet will likely change sizes and you'll end up not being able to wear all those darling shoes! It's a mightly tough thing, I know, restraint.

Yes, feet shrink!

I went from a wide to a regular, and from 6 to 5.5.

And here is what is funny. My feet were the first place to lose weight. Like I needed it there!!!

Default No way!

I am extremely new to this site - I never imagined that your feet would shrink. Maybe I will finally be able to find shoes that don't hurt my feet (almost every pair of shoes I buy hurt somewhere or another).

Yes, they shrink. In fact, I've recently started buying shoes in the little girls department. They're way cheaper than adult shoes. Check out these two pair!
