1. They're huge - my left is an 11 and the right is a 10. (Don't feel too bad for me, though. My little brother had size 14(!)s at age ten!) Trying to find shoes is a nightmare. Either I'm walking out of one foot or I'm totally crushing my toes. When I bought snowboarding boots I had to buy for the bigger foot and then wear two of the thickest pairs of socks they had in the store on the short foot.
2. I've broken my ankle twice, crushed the toes on my right foot all at once (thanks to an uppity horse), broken several toes multiple times, and have tendonitis in both feet. Awesome.
3. Due to all the breaks, I have funky toes that I hate. I honestly hate getting pedicures because I feel like the women judge my feet.
As a result of years of foot pain, I've been wearing flats almost exclusively. (Sometimes a hot pair is worth the pain, no?) But when I want a pair of heels for work or a wedding I turn to the shoes I mocked my mom for wearing - Aerosoles. They've actually been doing a pretty decent job this year: I heart the brown and linen pair on the left.

I feel your pain! In college, I had surgery on both of my big toes for ingrown nails. "The will look back to normal soon" said the doctor. Ummm. No. 8 years later and they're awful! But I love sandals, flip flops, and PEDIS! But I feel the same way when I'm getting them...like they ladies are saying "oh, what disgusting toes she has...tsk tsk." I stare in envy at other women's feet that look so pretty and elegant after a pedi. Mine look like a 5 year old tried to paint them.
Much love to a fellow foot friend!
I have big feet too and I totally wish my feet were just a little smaller (like a 9)
Hullo! Thanks for checking out my blog! I am thinking of getting the red striped dress - too risky waiting for the sales me thinks! So you're off on hols to the UK? If you are in the lakes, you must visit Miller Howe or Sharrow Bay Hotel and have the afternoon tea - but you must book ahead! Riding and watersports are also a must!! Shopping is a whole new topic. As are restaurants. Let me know where you are visiting and I'll send you some tips!
