SHOE SIZES!!! (and other shoe problems)
 

lol, I haven't seen a thread like this yet, soooooo complain about all your shoe sizes and problems finding a well-fitted shoe.

I'll start ;)

Hi there :) I'm a 17 year old gal and guess what? I wear size 3 shoes >.> do you know how hard it is to find shoes that are not printed with Dora or has kiddy flowers on them? I totally have sympathy with Cinderella now.

oh yea, I also can't really walk on heels much XP

I've noticed that some people had some problems with shoes that I might have some tips on, so I'll post them here if I know anything useful :)

Having Small Feet: In the south-east portion of the world (ie Taiwan, Shanghai) I heard that the overall genetics of people have smaller feet so people with smaller feet will have more choices and people with bigger feet get all the sales :3

Uncomfortable Shoes: Orthopedic inserts could help make the shoe much more comfortable and inserts could be added to almost any shoe possible, from sandals to boots. But, to get specialized inserts you may have to get an orthopedist's note for it ^.^''''''''

Ankle Problems: I heard that some skating exercises could help strengthen your ankles so that if you ever want to walk on high heels more, skating may help.

Dang, and I thought I had small feet. I am 23 and I wear a size 6. Lol ironically my grandmother has the same size, which I guess is only neat when we can borrow each other shoes. The only issue I really have with shoes are boots , it is just so hard to find nice cute ones (I HATE UGGS).

lol, my mom and grandma's shoe sizes are both size 5 (totally hopes that I'll reach that number) and one of my friends said this: "UGGS stand for UGLY"

Lol. Yes that is what I say too..I told my mom once when she went shoe shopping with me to find boots and she pointed those out and I said "When you see something ugly, what do you say? 'Ugg' Yea....."

Maybe your feet will grow a little more by the time you get into your 20s, a lot of people usually hit their last growth spurt by then.


Lol my sister is a size 9, my mother jokes about how her daughters together have a "normal" foot.

i've size ten..all the good shoes i find are too small, or mens shoes..^w^ lol

I wear woman's 11's, DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND SHOES FOR ME??? D:<, I'm about 5'8 (roughly the same height of my mom, who wears like, an 8 or 9). I have a pair of brown and pink shoes that are like, kinda ugly ;-;, but I have black winter boots (size 10 actually) that fit me perfectly 8D

I find my feet big. I wear size 9. Sometimes I hate how my feet look in shoes. And nice shoes are hard to find. Most of them are sold out or I just get stuck with the ugly ones.

oh, don't worry, I'm sure size 9's will have very unique shoes :) that way, if you ever wear it to a prom or gala, you don't ever have to worry about having the exact same shoes as other people (like how people accidentally wear the exact same things to proms XD) imagine, 20 people all going around with exactly the same things on XD

I'm an 8-9 depending on the shoe. I don't have problems finding my size, however I have a massive instep, and have trouble finding shoes I can get on easily.

I need a size 10 1/2 or 11 and its hard to find cute shoes that are that size =(

I have the smalest feet in my class. I am size 3 to 5. It always changes with the kind of shoe. Like heels I am 4 41/2, and with Converse I am a size 5. It always drives me crazy when I can't find my size.

i wear men's size 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 depending on the manufacturer's design.

for a kid who's barely 5 feet 6 inches, i do have larger feet than average.

chong69>> lol, you remind me of my friend that is 3 years younger than me and both his height and shoe size are all bigger than mine XP

ive got normal sized feet for my height and age. but i need special insoles which make it hell to find good shoes!

I agree. I wear really expensive running shoes, but before I discovered those I had hell finding shoes that insoles fit well inside of.

Queen Fool & Amika66>> you guys can go to an orthopedics company and ask to buy a special insert that matches the shoe you want, but sometimes you may need an orthopedist's note for it though :d

I wear a women's 10 . It is very hard to find boots or dress shoes that both look good and fit my feet.

It completely depends on the shoe for me. I can wear anything from size 6-7.5. It was so easy in Japan. The size corresponded to actual food length, so I'm a 24 there.

I have a real problem finding shoes. The shoes (like tennis shoes) that tend to fit me most comfortably are size 7 but the arches don't fit me in those so I've got like a centimeter of space between the shoe and my foot. 7.5's are too long for me (which means if they don't have laces they flip up in the back and are just generally annoying) but they have the perfect arch for my foot. So basically shoe shopping is a pain and unless I'm willing to spend boo-coo bucks to have custom shoes made for myself, I'll never be able to wear heels.

Ahhh.. I have problems shopping for shoes that fit me, all the time! I can wear anything from a 2 1/2 to a 6, depending on the shoe. Mostly because, if I find a shoe that gives me perfect arch support, it'll be too big. Then, if I find one that is small enough to fit snugly on my foot, then there is not enough arch support. Or, it has perfect arch support, is the right size, but I cannot get my foot inside because it is not a "wide". Damn you, genetics!

I wear a 7 narrow and LOVE all the heels in my size...problem: My feet have an intolerance for prolonged high-heel exposure.

It really depends on the type of shoe. Some shoes I am a size 9 but the pair of shoes I bought recently I was a size 7 and a half.

I find it hard to find really small men's shoes. I wear a 6 in men's, but have to buy 8's because finding good work boots in a 6 is impossible. It is almost embarrassing. I have invested in a lot of really thick socks.
