Wow, mutant feet

[cjsmith]

1. For a long time I had Ecco shoes, a bit too big for me in all dimensions.
2. I was told to get something with better support and I got Mephistos. ($ouch$)
3. Those were tight enough to exacerbate my nascent bunions and bunionettes, even after more than a day on the stretcher, so I temporarily switched to my old running shoes. The running shoes are what I wore to surgery and can't get into now.

So hey, maybe the old Eccos, right? With the laces removed completely, of course? And with the orthotics removed and the insole not replaced, just for some extra room?

Nope.

I can get my left foot in one of those, but after about thirty seconds I gotta get back out. And no WAY am I going to attempt to stand up in it.

I'm impressed! :-O

Sadly, I suspect I need something more than a good selection of excellent shoes. :-( :-( "Eurowalk Shuz", formerly Robert Krohn Shoes, also has excellent shoes at high prices. (The Mephistos were $265. I was able to wear them for a couple weeks.) It claims that its goal is "custom fit and measure for every customer", but this is a crock. You get what the manufacturer made, thankyouverymuch.

O'course, I could be wrong. Maybe Nordstrom Rack has a bigger selection than anything I've ever seen. That could do it.

This one sounds pretty darn good. The round trip time is a little much, though. :-)
