Shoe rant

Ok, someone, please explain to me why I can’t find a single pair of shoes that fit and feel right between four stores?!  Seriously, how insane is this?  I know there are shoe companies that make more widths than just medium and wide (D).  Yet, no one carries them.  What’s with that?  I need shoes, and my only options are things that cramp the piss out of my foot, which further causes problems with my foot.  A problem that was initially caused by boots that were too narrow!

I’m so freakin sick of this.  If RunTex doesn’t have shoes wider than D tomorrow, I fucking quit.  I refuse to buy shoes off the internet, because it’s so hard to figure out if the heal will feel right, or the arch, or if they’ll turn my foot a wierd direction.  The internet is not a substitute for having stock on hand, and never will be.

    try skate shoes. that is always a good bet but they can be expensive in my mind at least but comfy as fuck when they’re broken in

    That’s true, and fine for day to day, but not for running. My puma’s are like skate shoes, and they were nice. I’ll have to see if I can find some similar. :-)

    …consider Earth shoes?

    …with wide widths…. even in ‘active wear’.

    A little more expensive but worth the cost for fit, comfort.

    Running shoes… that’s a tough one.

    I take EEEE for dress shoes myself —
    – gawd, duck flippers for feet!
    (though they fit my leg and ankles to a T).
    I was always busting out the sides of my Adidas and Nikes and … just got wide feet, ya know?
