I tried looking for a 7 1/2 but that was the last size and shoe left. I figured that for $12, (on sale) these shoes were a steal and I could always buy some heel liners to make it fit. This past weekend I bought some Dr. Scholl's for Her Heel Liners, thinking my problem would be solved. When I put them on today it still slipped off. In one instance I was in the middle of crossing the street, when my shoe almost came off --yikes! The liners do work at preventing your shoes from rubbing with your heel, but not so much with the slipping. What is a girl to do.... should I retire my new pair of shoes? Should I continue to search for the perfect liner that will help keep my shoe in place? Has anyone gone through this before? Share your story.
Do You Have A Hard Time Shoe Shopping Because One Foot Is Bigger Than The Other?

oh that's my problem too. the size 8 fits my left foot nice and snug but it's always much larger on my right foot. i still havent found a solution for it :( I'm glad to know someone else goes through the same i do though lol.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole size difference with my feet! my left is a size 4 (UK) and the right is a 5! I too use the scholl heel things and the do help a bit but I find if you feet get a little sweaty or wet they just slip right off! I came across these little straps that go under the shoe and across your instep but I've not bought any yet - dancers use them but I don't know how visable they will be http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400048594249
ReplyDeleteI have that problem, but I have been known to be a bit sneaky when it comes to buying the shoes. If it's a lower-end boutique and the shoes aren't tied together (sometimes at Target or TJ Maxx) I'll take one in one size and another in a half size smaller and put it in one box. I'm sure some places check the sizes, though.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've stuffed a small wad of thick paper towel into the toe to make up for the small difference, and it really is effective.
