Do you put on shoes that fit?

Do they still make them today but at a much higher price?

@lookatdesktop They do Anthony, but they are very hard to find now..they are very high end shoes at an astronomical price.

@TiarasOceanView , @TiarasOceanView I think you would benefit from this link for SAS shoes, San Antonio Shoemakers: The URL is:

One size bigger in some instances, like when they shrink down a size after a wash. That is likely the reason. Some shoes, made of real leather can not be washed in ordinary fashion though. Do you care to elaborate?

Hmm. I will give this more thought.

@lookatdesktop I've had such comfortable sport shoes that I have worn some till there are holes in the soles and then sadly I toss them out and get a new pair.

@RasmaSandra , Yes, I had some like that. They fit better than new ones and I just had to throw them out because of the external wear not the internal. Have a few good pair in the closet just for painting or lawn work. That way you can keep your clean new ones from damage when doing work around the house.

Do you buy an extra pair just so you have them if they run out?

Yea I've been getting that a lot here about shoes. I wonder why this is so?

@just4him Most people don't realize if a shoe fits or not. That is why the stores that let you measure your feet properly can help you actually find better fitting shoes. The other way is just not acceptable in my opinion. Too many people suffer terrible foot problems from buying shoes that look good on the outside but fit improperly on the inside. Poor shoe design is all too common and people seem to think they deserve nothing more than mere warehouse style stores instead of service oriented ones which I prefer over those.

@lookatdesktop Most of the shoe stores that I know of that offer that service are very expensive. Other shoe stores like Footlocker - I don't know if they're around anymore - don't offer that service either. So you go in, find something you like, try it on and if it fits, you buy it.

This is a problem with lots of people. My wife has wide feet but short feet. I have size 12 wide width. I find my shoe size everywhere but not all fit the same. That is why I have stuck with some of the ones by Doctor Scholls shoes. with the extra attention to insoles.

@lookatdesktop Yes all the shops shoes sizes are different, it's bad too as its so damaging to wear I'll filling shoes. I'm glad you have found a brand you can rely on.

@DaintyD The store that sells the shoes that hurt my feet for 4 months where I couldn't even walk normally is the same store that also sells the good shoes. The trouble with this store is, it's one of the largest retail chains in the world and they have no customer service in their departments, just people who tell you either they have it in stock or they don't and customer service is all about refunds, exchanges or items being written off as damaged or non returnable like most cold food items that never return to their proper locations in cold display cases where they were left at registers for just because the customer changed their minds at the last minute.

You are very lucky. And I kind of wish this luck would rub off on me and others as well. I know one thing I prefer to try them on instead of making a purchase online. Thank you for your comment.

The only good thing I know is, if the shoe feels bad and hurts you can return it to most American retailer that sold them to you and get an exchange for a better fitting shoe sometimes even with no receipt.
