A PSA for Bigfoots

[kelliem]

This is a PSA for those of you who, like me, have trouble finding shoes that fit.

I have big, wide feet. Have since I was about 12 years old. This has caused me no end of problems in trying to find cute, comfortable BIG WIDE shoes. I usually end up with ugly but comfortable and they often cost a fortune. None of the major chain shoe stores (Payless, Famous Footwear, even DSW) carries much my size and even if they have the right size they usually don't have the right width. However, I have recently found a place online which not only carries a ton of styles and sizes, they have many of them from a N up to a WWWW width, they have great sales, and an easy return policy! So I feel it's my bounden duty to let others know that if, like me, they have trouble finding shoes that fit, they should check out http://www.shoetrader.com/


(Seriously, I've gone a bit hog-wild. I got these in red and in bronze when they were on sale for $9.99 a pair a couple of weeks ago (not that I have anyplace to WEAR them!). And the same price for these, and then these (in red) were on sale for only $14.99. I have a pair of these on order now so my feet will be toasty this winter. Also $14.99 on sale. You really have to watch for those sales.)

My uncle designed the original Easy Spirit shoes (he got tired of his daughter complaining about wearing high heels on her treks across a college campus), and one of the things I learned from him is that most shoes in this country are designed (just like clothes) from a single shoe pattern and then sized upwards. Prior to CAD, shoes were designed from multiple shoe patterns, something I'm given to understand a lot of the European shoemakers still do.
