No normal shoes

[cjsmith]

Today I grabbed the shoes I'd worn to surgery and brought them to work with me. I figured while I was sitting at my desk waiting for a long test run I'd see what it felt like to put them on.

There is no way I can get into them. My mind boggles. It's hard to imagine how these feet ever got into those shoes. I've unlaced the left shoe all the way down and it is quite simply too narrow.

*sigh*

yikes! here's hoping another week or so of healing will make it easier.

(i think my mom had to get new/bigger shoes after her foot surgery (to fix bunions, hammertoes, and um, something else). and i think she was advised to go to a real shoe store and get her feet measured for accuracy and proper fit. might be worth it when you're ready?)

*hugs*

Yep, here's hoping. If my feet are healthy I don't mind jamming them into a way-extra-tight shoe and letting everything settle for a little bit. Any time I've gone without shoes (*any* shoe is "too tight") for a while, that's what I have to do. But it's not something I really feel like doing before I'm sure I'm healed.

I wish there were such a thing as a real shoe store. I'd love to get my feet measured that way. If I'd been able to do that twenty years ago I might not have these problems now.

there must be an old-fashioned shoe store somewhere in the bayarea. Do you have small feet? Maybe you can try stride rite then?
