Re: new shoes

Stick four inch heels on and you'll know pain ...real pain.

Anyone else noticed one shoe/boot/sandal always fits better than the other one?

Or is one foot slightly bigger than it's twin?

But exceedingly good if you have to wade through localised flooding.

Only if they are green.
Realspeed have you tried Hotter shoes. Best if you have one of their shops nearby to try them on with advice from their very helpful staff. Maybe you need a wider fitting. They also do refunds if the shoe turns out to be unsuitable.

Re: new shoes

I've found a pair of shoes in Pavers that are the softest leather and fit me like a glove. I was so impressed I bought two pairs. That takes care of general walking, shopping etc.

High heels & dressy shoes are a nightmare for me. I generally have to wear what fits - not what I like.

Their shops locally are Eastbourne or Worthing , problem is parking charges in each place are sky high and just not worth the cost and effort
