"Feet" |
I have several foot related questions for you.1. Do you have "normal" feet, or do you have issues that make it difficult to find good shoes (e.g., high insteps, flat feet, etc)? 2. Do you walk correctly, or tend to walk to the side of your feet, a bit bow-legged, etc? 3. What type/style of shoes do you wear most of the time? How do your feet feel about that?

Maybe I'll just request that you never wear shoes. I suppose this limits our choices on restaurants & bars. And will I have to carry on the sidewalks?

5. "RE: Feet" |
My feet are kinda icky. *waves to nailbone*I have weird stubby toes and the cyst that I had removed about 3.5 years ago seems to be coming back. That's really annoying. My baby toes are pointy and have a toenail mound rather than a properly-shaped nail. I have super-hard skin on the pads of my heels and toes. It cracks around the edges sometimes. I want to try that crack cream stuff, but I'm afraid it won't work like all the other things I've tried and then I'll have spent a whole lot of time and money on crap. Again. Despite their ickiness, I don't cover my feet up and wear sandals/flip flops or even bare feet whenever possible. My feet are a regular size - no issues with half sizes or width, so at least they have that going for them.

9. "RE: Feet" |
1. I have obnoxiously narrow heels. I have been seen to step completely out of a shoe when walking at the store because the heel comes out so much that my toes alone may not keep the shoe on my foot. Basically if it doesn't strap onto my foot in some way I can't wear it. (and no elastic in the strap they still rub the heel even if it is a smaller distance than without the straps...I've had issues finding Mary Janes that actually strap your foot in without the dang elastic they started putting in all of them that makes them unwearable by me) Most of my dress shoes have to be boots, slingbacks or mules. I also seem to have very little padding on the bottoms of my feet so I really need shoes that are well padded. Most of them seem to like to make them wider than normal because it seems only people with wide feet care about comfort so a lot of the companies I would love to buy shoes from don't make them for me at all. I have a friend that worked at good shoe stores with really nice comfort shoes and she has wide feet, so anything she wears that I desparately want will not in anyway fit my feet at all.*takes a breath* you asked... I also have loose ankles so I have hard time with the little kitten heel shoes. Put a 4 inch heel on that sucker and they will line that heel up with the center of the foot, but if it is a low heel they just slap that sucker on whereever it happens to land and the shoe sales people look at me like I'm crazy when I can walk fine on sky-high stilettos but not a low heel shoe. I pretty much can only wear low heeled shoes if they have big chuncky heels which often isn't nearly as dressy as I would like them to be. Let's just move on, shall we. 2. My tendons indicate I could have a tendancy to pronate (roll in) but pretty much my shoes wear evenly across the heel so I walk pretty straight. I was born with hip dysplasia (no I am not a dog, really it happens in humans too, you know) and spent 6 months in casts. The peeps that tortured a helpless infant fixed my hips seemed determined to make my feet point straight forward when I walk and all that so I ended up walking just fine. 3. Generally sneakers or occasionally slip ons that come far enough up the foot they stay on without the heel. For dress, boots, slingbacks or mules, but I don't wear them a lot as most dress shoes don't have the padding I need. I have some Birkenstock sandels I like a lot, but I can't wear them to work as this is a lab, and they frown on that.

14. "RE: Feet" |
FTR, I have the weird second toes that are longer than any of my others. And my sister insists that my toenails (excluding the ones on my big toes) look like M&Ms.>1. Do you have "normal" feet,
>or do you have issues
>that make it difficult to
>find good shoes (e.g., high
>insteps, flat feet, etc)? Two things, really. Because of the stupidity of youth, I tend to get corns on my little toes because of years of buying lovely shoes that didn't really fit because "they are cute." I no longer do this, but even a slightly tight fit at the toe will cause a corn. I also have fallen arches from my youth and must have arch support. >2. Do you walk correctly, or
>tend to walk to the
>side of your feet, a
>bit bow-legged, etc? Nope. I walk perfectly and the wear on my shoes can prove it. >3. What type/style of shoes
>do you wear most of
>the time? How do your
>feet feel about that? It depends. I tend to wear both heels and flats at work or for social events, depending on what I have on. Probably heels most often though. All my boots have heels. I like how heels make my long legs even longer. It's all about the vanity, people. I wear my bobos (Keds) for casual and have good walkers for my 9 miles weekly. We are talking very casual and it's all about the comfort. At home, I don't wear shoes. I wear one of my many pairs of Isotoners. It's all about comfort and warmth. My feet tend to be cold even in the heat of midsummer.

15. "RE: Feet" |
Well, for one thing, until right now I didn't know that reading about feet kinda freaks me out. My feet? Are actually just fine. I don't think of feet as pretty, but if feet *can* be pretty, mine would be. Nothing unusual about them. People always think my feet are small, though they are size 7 1/2 - 8. I usually wear dressy shoes. I love boots, my platform high heels being my most favorite, then the knee-highs, then my slip on black leather loafers. I have tennis shoes but don't wear them unless I'll be on my feet, walking for hours.

LAST EDITED ON 05-17-06 AT 12:17 PM (EST)1. I have above normal feet. Size 7. They are incredibly beautiful. One of my only features I can brag about. 2. I walk correctly but my mom says I have a tendancy to stomp up stairs like an elephant 3. I wear all sorts of shoes, mostly sneakers though, I've recently turned into a bit of a shoe freak. In summer its bare feet whenever and wherever possible. My feet love me and I show my appreciation to them to a fault.  ETA - shoe size because it matters

22. "RE: Feet" |
I guess I like my feet - well, lemme say that they are low on the list of things I hate about my body. But they do look kinda freakishly small sometimes -- especially with these bell bottom-ish jeans I'm wearing...my toes barely stick out from under 'em.1. My feet are small and sometimes the size I need in the shoe I want isn't available. I don't know if that means it's a popular size or if they don't have much of that size in stock. I have a couple of bunyons that prevent me from comfortably wearing some styles of shoes (like those stupid torture devices I wore in D.C.), but for that's it. 2. I don't know actually...now I'll pay more attention to it today. (Which means I will probably fall down...see next line)  The wierd part is, if I think too much about walking, I will always trip. If I concentrate on my walking...suddenly I can't seem to walk anymore. I tend to take really short steps and walk kinda fast. 3. Most of the time I wear sandals -- or at least I wear sandals as often as I can. I basically have 4 main pairs of shoes...two pairs on sandals, one black one brown, and two pairs of 'winter shoes', again one black and one brown. The big deal is that they have to be comfortable, because I am on my feet almost all day long. But sandals are my favorite. Even for dress shoes, I will almost always buy sandals. I think my feet like them too.

I'm pretty certain my feet are normal. I wear a size 9.5, sometimes 10, depending on the shoe. Pregnancy enlarged my feet.I walk correctly unless I'm being lazy, in which I drag my feet. In the summer, I wear sandals. In the winter I wear boots. I also wear tennis shoes for casual wear and for working out. I think my feet are happy. Especially because I don't wear heals.
It's Arkie Love

30. "RE: Feet" |
Oh, a feet/shoes thread. Yipee!1. I have normal pretty feet. Once I quit the pointy toe heels my toes returned to near normal. My toes curve from big toe to pinkie toe (big to small) in perfect procession. I do like my feet. 2. I used to walk normally. I practiced in High School so my oobies wouldn't bounce. I didn't like the attention. Also being shy I didn't like walking to the ladies room in a bar with everyone staring (at least I thought they were). Then I broke the ol hip and I limp *sobs uncontrolably*. Ask me after June when I again practice walking totally normally (no bouncing oobies and no limp). 3. I have tons and tons of shoes but I prefer going barefoot. I can't stand anything but sandals in the spring/summer/fall. I have flat sorta dressy sandals for work. I have hiking sandals for weekends and I've purchased some flip-flops for the beach. You've seen the picture. What is it - 35 pairs of shoes overall? My feet are mostly happy. 
Heaven on Earth! That’s me lying on the beach *giggle*

Not quite Bigfoot here, size 13, not easy to find in SE Asia.For everyday use, I wear a pair of Hush Puppies that I've had for about three years, once resoled (in SE Asia, where it's easy to find a cobbler). Shoes are like jeans - the long you wear them, the more comfortable they are. For serious stuff like business meetings, I'll wear a pair of black, laced dress shoes, with a shine that'd make even the Koreans or Japanese proud (yes, they're serious about their shoe shine!). I walk with light, straight steps, and have a long stride on a walk. Adopting Asian customs while in the house (shoeless), I usually wear comfortable cotton socks (which also get more comfortable with wearing!).

35. "RE: Feet" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-17-06 AT 04:50 PM (EST)1. I think I have normal feet. I had some minor problems when I was younger, but had surgery. I wear a 6 1/2 to a 7 1/2, depends on the shoe. The main issue I have with finding shoes is that those sizes seem to be popular in my area. Usually if I find a pair that I really like that are out of stock, I'll order them. 2. I think I walk correctly. I used to work for a podiatrist, and got used to analyzing peoples' gait, posture, etc, and making orthotics to correct any issues. It's amazing (but really common sense when you think about it) how many people, after using corrective orthotics, reported that problems with their backs and knees had improved greatly. Ok, enough of the lesson. 3. My default shoes are my Birkenstocks, my feet love them very much for their support, comfort, and durability. In summer, it's always them or dressy sandals, unless I'm working out. I have two pairs of athletic shoes, one for walking/jogging/running, and one pair for lower impact activities, such as biking and strength training. It doesn't stay too cold here in winter, so sometimes I can still get away with strappy dress sandals, though I have several pairs of black and brown shoes in different styles. I also have black knee-high stacked heel boots that I can really only wear in winter. Out of all my shoes, those kill my feet the worst. I also wear my Docs a lot in winter.  C'est Moi.
Thanks Syren!
Yes, I used to work with stinky, fugly feet all day. Good preparation if I ever get married.

1. Do you have "normal" feet, or do you have issues that make it difficult to find good shoes (e.g., high insteps, flat feet, etc)? I have very high arches. My niece recently asked me what was wrong with my feet, that they looked like Barbie feet, lol. I have a bum pinky toe that needed surgery to remove a bone spur. The bone spur is coming back. The doctor wants to remove the bone. Oh YAH, like that's going to happen. But finding shoes to accomodate this little piggy is a problem. I have gotten compliments about my feet but that little toe is just plain awful. 2. Do you walk correctly, or tend to walk to the side of your feet, a bit bow-legged, etc? I must be doing something wrong because today my ankle swelled up and hurts. 3. What type/style of shoes do you wear most of the time? How do your feet feel about that? Flat shoes all the time. I'm a giant, ya know. My feet love sandals, flip flops and bareness the best.

39. "RE: Feet" |
I have size 10 feet, very wide. At the boot shop I go to for work boots they give me a EE and I ask if they have anything wider at which point they tell me EE is the biggest they carry. Also my big toes are especially big, though all my toes are well shaped. The second smallest toe on my left foot is missing a joint, and consequently the smallest bone at the end of that toe. yes I'm a deformed freak. Also, 12 hours on my feet at work and constantly barefoot at home and any time during the summer I wear sandles has made me have pure leather for soles.
Except for ending slavery, fascism, nazism and Communism, war has never solved anything.

1. Do you have "normal" feet, or do you have issues that make it difficult to find good shoes (e.g., high insteps, flat feet, etc)?I have high arches. I didn't even realize it until a couple of years ago. 2. Do you walk correctly, or tend to walk to the side of your feet, a bit bow-legged, etc? My feet tend to roll to the inside when I walk. (What's the fancy word for that?) 3. What type/style of shoes do you wear most of the time? How do your feet feel about that? During the school year, I usually wear comfortable dress shoes (Clark's) or boots, if snowing. Otherwise, it's tennis shoes. I like sandals, but b/c of the aforementioned arches, I have never found a pair that make me comfortable. Don't tell my students, but I usually take off my shoes while I am in the office.

1. Do you have "normal" feet, or do you have issues that make it difficult to find good shoes (e.g., high insteps, flat feet, etc)? I like my feet. But, I have small feet, 6 - 7, depending on the shoe, and my heels are very narrow. My second toe is also the longest. It makes it very difficult to find high heels that I can wear comfortably, particularly in winter, as most pumps rub my heel raw if they stay on at all, and if the heel is too high my foot slips too far forward and the toes pinch. Slingbacks with a low to medium heel are much better, but generally not appropriate for winter wear. Most shoes, particularly heels, don't seem to be made to fit smaller feet properly.2. Do you walk correctly, or tend to walk to the side of your feet, a bit bow-legged, etc? I walk correctly. 3. What type/style of shoes do you wear most of the time? How do your feet feel about that? I prefer bare feet as much as possible. Drives dh nuts that, if it's going to be a fast trip, I'll go outside in the snow and ice without shoes. Although, I do have a i]lot of shoes. Including high heels. The problem I have is that they'll be comfortable in the store, but after an few hours of wearing them the comfort is long gone. For the rest of the time, it's either running shoes, sandals, or boots, mostly. My feet like all of those just fine. For dress I generally wear pants & heeled dress boots in order to avoid the whole heels issue. Ticks dh off, 'cause I actually do have nice legs, and he thinks the heels are sexier. He just doesn't seem to understand why "everyone else" can wear heels and I don't seem to be able to. Hard to feel sexy when you're wincing in pain at every step.

46. "RE: ugly Birkenstocks" |
I've had a bone spur in my heel for about 1 and 1/2 years, which has made it painful for me to walk.I just finally went to the foot Dr. who told me what?; wear Birkenstocks! Now, way back in Hippy days, all my friends were wearing Birkenstocks. I thought they were the ugliest shoes ever and even though they were standard Hippy wear, I refused to jump on that boat. I stuck with my Earth Shoes, which as it turns out, were crappy for your feet. I did try a pair of Birkys cause everyone just raved about them, but I also found them to be totally hard and uncomfortable. Now, I've been wearing them for a couple of weeks and surprise, my feet don't hurt. Ok, he also told me to get some New Balance walking shoes, which are ugly as hell also, but my feet don't hurt in them as well. So, I'm basically walking around in ugly grandma and Hippy shoes until this thing clears up. Otherwise, my feet look normal, whatever that is.
