UGH - My feet are 2 different shoe sizes - what a pain in the butt. Anyone else with this problem?
My right foot is a perfect size 10; whereas the left foot is a size 11.

What sucks once you get up to size 10 the shoe choices out there can be very limiting to the point that it's stuff that looks like what your granny wore back in the 50s. So I get size 10s in hopes of stretching out a bit that left foot and right now it's like :hurts:

Anyone else have this problem?

1. I think you can have shoes stretched...
By whom, I do not know though.

2. Does it make you walk in circles?
:P

I don't know why, that struck me funny. Probably because I'm an idiot. :silly:

3. I feel your pain. Everything in a size 12 looks like an aircraft carrier
There is 1/2 size difference between my feet. My right one is 11-1/2 and my left one is 12. And I go up the half size.

4. sort of
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 02:43 PM by pitohui
one's a half size bigger than the other, not a full size but probably close to the same problem proportionately since one is a 6, the other a 6-1/2

i sure don't invest much time in shopping for shoes, when i do find a fit, i make them last

7. Yes, although not quite by that much
But what I found out a few years ago is that what I really need are wider, not longer, shoes. I was constantly trying to squeeze into narrow size seven and a half shoes, when I really needed a six and a half or seven wide. Try doing that. At one point they were trying to get me into size eights. I could get my foot in, but there was about an extra inch or more at the front and they pinched! When I suddenly discovered wider sizes, it was great.

8. My skull was too small for my brain
I had to have brain reduction surgery. That's what's wrong with me just in case any of you were wondering. :)

10. I've heard of a system where you can find someone with the same problem...
but opposite feet. If you can agree on shoes, it would be a good deal. I have no idea what the link is, though.

Seems like I remember seeing a shoe store online that sells 2 different sizes as a pair. I'll hunt some more.

***on edit*** Nordstroms offers split pairs:http://about.nordstrom.com/help/find-your-fit/womens-shoes.asp#split

15. My feet are 3 different sizes.
So you're problem is insignificant compared to mine.

19. I have feet of a slightly different size AND they're incredibly wide and flat. :)
So it's always an adventure for me to go shoe-shopping.
