The only thing worse than clothes shopping is shoe shopping

I feel like Eeyore here, but I have not been having much fun clothes shopping lately.  Its a lot more work when there is more to choose from and you have to try on multiple sizes, and your body is all strange and funky shaped.  But anyway, I did it.  Now I need shoes.  None of my dress shoes fit, they are all too big now.  I have a pair of ankle boots that I can wear Fri with slacks, but I don't know about the dresses I bought.  I'd like a cute pair of Mary Janes, but I probably still need a wide width (my pair of 7WW slippers fits ok, but too wide, so I probably need a 7W or 7.5W.  I am not much of a heel person because they hurt at 440lbs, but I'm hoping they aren't as painful now.  Any brand recommendations that you find especially comfy?  I was in 8.5 or 8WW or WWW before, so if anyone needs some shoes...  I was grumpy yesterday, my friend gave me a pair of ******y boots last year but they didn't zip up over my calves and they gave her foot problems after a couple of sessions.  Now they ALMOST zip to the top but are huge in the foot.  I'm gonna wear like 5 pairs of socks when they do fit my calf!! I want to wear sexy boots STAT. 

I hate sexy boots lol   well not really but I hate that I never looked good in them lol  this may sound a little odd but K-mart has a brand of shoe called cobby cuddler, I have always found that they run a little Extra wide and are way comfy.   They have a large selection and almost every style comes in  wide.    I wanted to take my daughter there but they don't go to size 12 or 13.  good luck  Estelle

i don't have any ideas for you, but i totally know what you are going through.... none of my shoes fit, and it sucks! i was a      7 1/2 and i think i am down to a 6 1/2 but because i have had to buy all new clothes i haven't really been able to afford new shoes, so i just wear 10,000 pairs of socks with everything.

Yep I had to buy at least some new sneakers in January, and I already have to wear two pairs of socks with them. 

I love the way the  Avenue's cloud walkers FIT, their styles are not the greatest, but sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. It may be worth a check... sometimes they have AWESOME deals too.... GOOD LUCK!

I actually had some cloudwalkers and they are pretty comfy - my ankle boots are the only ones I can still wear (with two pairs of socks)  Unfortunately Avenue doesn't go below a size 8

I've had good luck with some of Penney's store brand (can't think of the name right now to save my life).  My feet finally stopped shrinking, so I bought a couple pair of Clark slides and I wear them almost every day.  I also bought a pair of Hush Puppies recently that are dressy enough to wear with a dress, but they also look great with a pair of slacks.  Think I got them at Penneys as well.   Good luck finding something stylish and comfy for your tootsies!!!

I didn't want to spend a lot (yet) so I went by Payless on my way back to work, found a decent pair of heels for $20 and a pair of flat things that are very casual for $10 (buy one get one half off).  Size 6 1/2 wide.  Holy crap, I haven't seen a 6 1/2 since elementary school

That is fantastic - can you believe it?

I'm in a 9.5 regular down from a 10 W and can wear heels!  I'm liking wearing heels again.  I always felt dumpy in flats.
