I wear size 2 1/2 to 3 (children size) and I'm in my 30's for heaven sake!


I HATE shopping for shoes because it's very difficult to find PROFESSIONAL looking shoes (especially with high heels).


I remember once I was on vacation with my family in my 20's and I had forgotten my church shoes and the only person I could borrow shoes from was my 7 year old cousin! Now, THAT was embarrassing!


Also, as my neices (over 10 to 15 years younger than me) grew up and started wearing bigger shoes than me, they would heckle me about that.

Well, I'm 5'1", but I wear a size 9W shoe ... even though my feet are really only about a 5 or a 6 in length. They're just really wide, which means I will never have a collection of funky, sexy, pretty shoes -- it's pretty obvious that my shoes don't fit properly. If I find a pair of shoes that I like and that fit me reasonably well, I buy multiple pairs in a variety of colours: I'm just that desperate for nice footwear.

I'm hoping that losing weight will help with this a little, but I've always had wide feet, even when I was small and athletic. Boo.

Size 9. I have really wide feet and it's sort of hard to find shoes that fit well and are comfy.

I love it!
I can wear a kid's 4, or a regular women's 6- 7 1/2. It really does depend on the shoe.

I call my mom that too, and here's the really great part, my Mom's name is Sue and the first T-Rex skeleton is named.... you guessed it! Sue

I'm glad I'm not crazy then!

I wear a size 8 1/2 or a 9. Which is kind of big, but I'm 5'7 so I think that's fairly average for my height.

My Grandpa also said that he wore a size 10. But the 11s felt so good, he bought 12s.

Either 6 or 7. It depends of the shoe. My work shoes are 7, so are most of my boots. But my heels and other dress shoes are 6's. I guess my feet are weird.
