Medium-size goal and large-size feet

almost every week -- at least the one by my home.

I bought a pair of 'dog-walking' shoes about five years ago... I don't
have dogs, but you know the sort I mean: flat lace-ups for just trogging
about in trousers. They were ecco Velcro tabbed 'lace-ups' and cost
about £60, and are a European size 38/UK size 4 1/2-5. Nice and wide
and comfy, like slippers!

Unfortunately they are dead, after 5 years regular wear! As they worked
out at about £12 per wearing year, I feel like I had my money's worth
out of them and they owe me nothing. They still LOOK OK, but the heel's
beginning to collapse inside, and the leather is wearing through over
the little toes. They'll do fine for decorating in!

So today, as I was in the shoe shop buying shoes for my 11 YO son, I
took a look and bought some for me too! These ones are Rohde, UK
size 4, and have a single big Velcro tab where there once were laces on
shoes. These ones cost me £49.99, less £5 discount as I have a store
loyalty card. James's shoes would have been £36, but I got £3 off them.
With both of us having such wide feet (G fitting in Clarke's for both
of us!), there's no point in buying cheap shoes. James tends to grow
out of his, but my feet appear to be shrinking a size!

Still, if I get 5 years out of these ones, as I did out of the previous
pair, I shall do very well indeed. Shoes and bras... Never pays to buy
cheap ones when you are an odd size or width!

Today's paper had an article about fitness wear and mentioned this
website
http://www.footsmart.com/

I took a quick look through it and think some of their sandals might
fit your specifications. They have a handy internal search and even
another one within their clearance section.

Good luck!

They do have some nice casual sandals, altho for right now I'm looking
for something a bit more dressy. The one they had that I was most
likely to get for casual wear, tho, the color I want isn't in stock in
my size. C'est la vie. But thanks for trying

so true, and DH started having trouble with his feet, we spend about $200.00
for each pair of his shoes, he wears a 6E in width, it is some of the best
money we spend, his feet rarely hurt and therefore his quality of life is
greatly improved, and since his is better so is mine, Lee, odd sized
all-round in this house
