NSV....my feet!?
Yesterday, my daughter and I went shoe shopping at the nearby Zappos Outlet. I had no intention of buying shoes for myself, just for my daughter. As she looked at these really bright, almost fluorescent pink shoes, there were a pair of fuchsia ones that were a bit larger than her size. She insisted that I try them on. For as long as I can remember, I have worn either a W or WW in 8.5. So, these were a 9 M. They fit! I've tried 9 M before and couldn't get my foot to go in at all. They are comfortable. I know that the shoes I have now are loose, but I thought it was just because they were "worn in"? I have lost weight in my feet!
I bought them. My husband was shocked at such a color...lol. But, wide shoe colors are usually limited.
I look forward to buying boots now. The last pair of boots I got were from Lane Bryant and were still tight on my calves. We'll see if I've lost enough in my calves!
Yep, I "had to" buy an entire new shoe wardrobe! Went from a 7.5W to a 7, sometimes 6.5!

I'm with ya on the shoe size. I have been wearing extra socks to make up for the loose fit in my shoes. Don't have the funds to get new shoes at the moment so these "boats" will have to do. I look forward to the new size when i am ready!![]()
