I even planned the length of the necklace to go with the shirt I intend
to
wear with the jewelry. Does anyone else ever do that when you design a
necklace for yourself?

Oh hell yeah! Always! And BTW -- you don't want that necklace. Keep
the
earrings and stuff, but send that piece-of-trash necklace that you DON'T
WANT
to ME.

Thanks, I'm very glad my feet are hard to fit instead of painful or
unhealthy.

My hubby was a shoe salesman for over 10 years. I've lucked out in that
department. He always fits my shoes for me right. Every time we go shoe
shopping it's as a pair and he is always on top of the latest shoes, etc.

I'm sorry it's so hard to find shoes. Hubby knows all about it and I do
too. I have high arches and bad feet. I swear my feet are from a 90 year
old arthritis patient. It was so bad a few years ago that I stopped going
anywhere I had to walk. No mall, no bead shop, nothing. Then I found the
eurosoles and have been in heaven ever since. Good luck on your search.

I actually have wonderful, healthy feet. But very few women's shoes are
wider than Ds (considered very wide), and I need E to EEE. And I have
very
high arches, such that even adjustable straps will often not go over
them.
Also my toes are short, so the vamp has to be short so the edge of the
shoe
on something like flats doesn't cut into the tendon of my big toe.
That's
just the requirement for getting them on my feet at all.

Even running shoes are hard to find. I have to be able to loosen the
laces
down to about 1" or 1 1/2" from the toe end of the shoe, and then even
in
the widest sizes, my feet generally spill over both sides of the sole.
In
men's shoes the heels are so big, my feet slop around and get blisters.
In
winter I can wear Air Force mukluks. Big ugly sloppy mukluks, but I can
cinch them at the ankle so my heels stay in place, while leaving the
foot
loose -- and warm. Then bring isotoner slippers for indoors.

Naturalizers are too narrow. Oddly I have a pair of Cappezios that fit
great. I had to abuse the strap to get it over my instep, but they are
wide, round toed, low enough at the toes. And get this. They have
steel
shanks and vibram-type soles!!

Do you have a problem with your feet? I do, even though I'm not that
long
in years. I've had feet problems since my late 20's and only buy
quality
shoes. Even if they are ugly, they wear well and I can now walk for
hours
when before I couldn't walk two minutes. Ariats are great, but
expensive.
You can also get good shoes from Natulizer that have eurosoles in
them.
Those are the ultimate!

Jewelry for an outfit I do, but shoes to go with one outfit?
Actually,
I've
been know to buy shoes I don't even like, if only they'll fit! I
probably
have a dozen pair of shoes. Half I can wear for a couple hours.
The
other
half include the few boots, sandals, and shoes that fit.

60! wow..
I may have owned 60 pairs in my lifetime. I might own that many too if A: I
worked out of my house at a job that required more than blue jeans and t
shirt. and B: they werent so expensive and C: they came in my width and the
styles I like.
I love shoes. Id be a shoe aholic if I could justify it. Maybe I could just
come over and fondle your shoes? lol

Well I don't have as many shoes as the hubby, but it's around 60 or so
pairs. I have about 10 pair that I wear regularly. Most are sandals
since
it's mostly hot in Texas a lot of the time.

I tend to look for one pair of shoes that will go with just about

Its a lot easier to find shoes for my wide feet than it used to be but
to
find inexpensive, comfortable and versatile shoes isnt. I have a pair
now,
on its last legs, comfortable beyond belief, slip ons, flats. They do
for
all but the dressier occasions in my life. Dressy occasions.. weddings
....
hmmm... I think I might have a pair for those now...for summer.
How many pairs of shoes do you have? Im doing ok with two sandals,
clogs,
two slip ons and a pair of duck boots, tho as I said the one pair of
slips
are just about gone. :-(

Great design, Laura! I love the vintage German glass you have with it.

Ah, but by then, they're not beginners any more, are they?

without -beginning-, can you?)

Once they've been here a while -- oh ho! Let the games begin!

I just got rid of about 7 pairs of black shoes. I pick them up at the
thrift stores. These sat here for the whole time I have been here (except
for 1 pair I wore on the b-day weekend,t he only nice shoes I brought, then
realized they were a 1/2 size small...LOL!). I seem to get all black shoes,
nothing else. I need other colors!

I have two "can't wear except for special occasions" shoes. 1 is a pair of
governess style shoes (that's what the advertisement said), with 5" heels.
Hehehe. The other is a pair of patent leather high heels, with the ankle
strap that can be taken off if I wish, with like 4" heels.

I go wherever I am going in them, wear them for the 5 minutes to be
"beautiful", then take them off and walk barefoot!!! LOL!
