Shoe update: I did buy 2 pairs. I got knee-length black boots to replace the ones I have and love but that are a 1/2 size too small and pinch my toes way too much. I also got a pair of black loafers with a chunky heel. Both are very cute, but I would up paying around $140, even with the 2nd pair on sale! And what really pains me is that neither are leather. Almost all of my older shoes are leather, many are still in very good condition but just hurt my feet, so it's hard to make the transition! But some of the shoes in the store are marked "vegan," so I guess I'll feel good about saving the cows.
I still need a good pair of flats. My co-worker bought these online and said they are very comfortable: https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/ba...ctiveColor=116 Happy Friday to all (or to all who celebrate, as cyana would say)!!!

Paine, my problem is that my toe box is wide, but my overall foot is not. I'm a pretty firm 8.5; sometimes if I try on a 9, I have more room in the toes but they are too long! The boots I bought were actually a 9, but they felt comfortable snug around the ankle. The shoes were 8.5 and actually just a tad long, but because they were comfortable, I thought they were worthwhile - sometimes I add pads to the rear of the shoe to adjust the fit slightly.

Sandra, that is weird about your shoe size changing that much! I could see my feet becoming wider. However, almost every time I try on wide styles, they are too big (at least in the mid-foot - my toes often feel good!) and most 9s are too long.
Happy Saturday! DH and I are going to try to early vote today. I did another dumbbell balance routine from Amy's Beach Fitness yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdPRmPRh4K8 This one was shorter and used lighter weights, but I thought it was harder! I did like it though. I also did a KB core routine from Laura Wells, the VFer who posted on GD, and one of my short Yoga Journal DVDs. Earlier this week I actually got in some CS.

YouTube: Lower Body Strength Workout on the Mat // Shape & Tone Legs, Abs and Butt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puHy...orShapeFitness This morning I did the SeniorShapeFitness Lower Body YouTube that Pam had given a link to and I liked it (thank you Pam!). Yesterday my 3 year old grandson wanted to follow the trash trucks picking up trash/recycle in our neighborhood and we ended up walking 2 miles just from chasing trash trucks! Beth, my toe box is wide but my overall foot isn't wide so I know how that makes it difficult for us to find a proper fitting shoe. |
