Does anyone else have the problem of having wide feet! Ugh it sucks! So many cute shoes... so many of them are too narrow!!!!

Any fav shops to find shoes to fit your wide feet without having to wear grandma shoes? Any foot binding techniques that may work lol?

no luxury in wearing heels with thin straps cuz they make my feet look fat. :(

im a size 5-6 and it’s quite difficult to find shoe cos i have small but wide feet as well (deformed thanks to 3yrs of wearing chucks in highschool)

from experience, dont buy tall pointy shoes, boots and stilettos kills.. stick to pretty flat rounded toes shoes, open toes short heels or kitten heels shoes.

Haha. I too, am blessed with wide and ungraceful feet :p

If I am in love with a narrow shoe, i always slog it out. after one night, They shape to your foot anyway. Its the only answer :p

My feet are like f*cking bricks. They're wide and size 10. Stupid feet.

I just have to look around for shoes, some fit, some don't. Ocaassionally squish them into gorgeous shoes, but only for a short time. I've got these leather thongs with a metal buckle thing and they're dressy and comfy at the same time, since the straps aren't constricting.

hmmm you're lucky you just have wide feet.
The part of my foot where the sole is, is really wide, but going towardsmy ankle i have a really narrow foot.
yep my feet are screwed... and a size 9-10. It's really hard to find good shoes that fit. or any shoes that fit.

i have a problem with long thin feet, very frustrating when the only shoes i can find are suited to people with wider feet

yaaay, someone else with my problem!!!! i used to go to peter Sheppard in the city. they have *some* funky european shoes, but the rest are grandma - like and they are all friggin expensive. my advice is, accept that some shoes won't fit ur foot, buy shoes with leather inner & outer and they will stretch (yes, even when they are veery tight - i know, i had to majorly stretch my last pair of shoes, they were so tight at first i couldnt wear them but now theyre fine)
i feel ur pain

it sucks the other way though. like i have effin' scrawny little feet and i can't wear flats or whatever because there's like a gap between my feet and the sides of the shoe, and it's basically impossible to walk in them.

Nice to see there are others out there who can relate with shoe problems, even if your feet are narrow. My feet are about a size 8.5 length, but about a size 11 width!!! I think they are a D width or something horrible.

I finally found a nice pair of heels last year that I could squeeze on my feet for formal occasions... they hurt like hell, but they look pretty at least... well as pretty as you will get my wide feet looking anyway!

My feet are the opposite, mine are really really small, lengthwise, and skinny in the width. Like some shoe stores don't have shoes long enough for me, and because my feet are extra skinny and I have skinny ankles, it's even worse because most shoes that look like they are long enough slip off at my ankles or you can see my foot within the sides of the shoes and it looks stupid. All through school I wanted shoes without laces but they'd always slip off :(
