Fred flinstone feet here. If I could find extra wides, I'd be wearing 5 1/5 (last time I checked), but I can get into a 6.5 wide (hard to find) and usually wear a 7 or 7.5 normal. My shoes never fit.
Can't wear "pretty" ones or one of two things will happen -someone will actually notice that I Fred Flinstone feet,, or the heels will kill me as I trip.
I remember that thread, but I can't remember who the person was! They had to buy shoes in the girls department, and it was tough because of all the little girl sequins on them.
