All my life I have had problems buying RL shoes to fit my feet. My feet are in essence boxes at the end of my legs! they are wide, short and with a high instep. Short, wide, high instep shoes are really hard to find unless you happen to live in the USA apparently. I am SO happy! Yesterday I stepped into a shoe store (in Canada) I had never been in before. I found FOUR yes four pair of shoes that fit me right off the bat and they were not even “wide sized” shoes! Truly amazing, I did not even look at the prices, and was pleasantly surprised at how little this fabulous find cost, and considering they are fabulously made, in suedes and leathers. I purchased two pairs of a shorter (a couple of inches) heeled day pair of court shoes, a casual Mary Jane shoe and a gorgeous higher heeled evening pair. I was SO impressed I came home today after working night shift and did a search on my absolutely fav pair of the four pairs I bought to find they had them in another colour. Naturally I ordered a pair stat!
Perhaps I should get off my butt and try making them in SL so my avatar can be as comfortable as my RL self! lol!
If anyone wants to know the brands, let me know:)
Here is a pic of the most comfortable shoes in the entire world, the two pairs of casual Mary Jane’s.
Soft touch! Comfort is not an issue when you put this women’s Mary Jane flat on. It features a supple suede upper, adjustable straps, and flexible rubber outsole. Available in Beige and Black Suede. Sizes 5-11B.
What they say is really true!
Please let me know when you find out the answer, as I have a friend who also has a wide in-step, but whose felt constantly swell and wears a size 13.5 to 14 ‘because’ of that swelling. Have you had any ‘luck’ in remembering where the store is (was) located? Thanks.
Hi! I was very suprrised that the Shoe Company here in Canada actually had shoes that fir my feet. The above shoes I now have three pairs off in different colours. however the brands the three of them are stamped with are different. But they are exactly the same shoe. I also saw a pair in Mark’s work world.
The straps can be let out as your feet swell, they are wide and have a nice wide round to. You can dress them up or dress them down. I am really happy with them. I hope this helps:)
I am no9t sure if Mark’s Work World or The Shoe Company are in other countries.
