Let's face it, no shoes will ever fit my feet. One is bigger than the other. I must have spent thousands (ok, may not thousands, hundreds) of dollars on every Dr. Scholl pad, ankle grip, heel pad possible. Try as I might, 1 foot always comes flying out and flopping around. I even tried rubber bands once, but my friends were embarrased to walk with me, so that didn't work.
My mom had problems with her feet. I refuse to wear those ugly brown round custom shoes she wore. Callouses, wide ball of foot, skinny ankle, no wonder no shoes fit. A physical therapist once told me "you have poor foot structure". Its just a polite way of saying you feet are shaped funny.
For years I'd try the old switcher-oo. Oh, 8.5 is too big, can I try 8? Then sneak a left 8 and right 8.5 in the box. Rarely did I get caught. When I did, "gee, how did that happen, I need 8 1/2).
Now I've just come to live with this. No shoes will ever fit my feet. Should have been one of those women born destined to be barefoot and pregnant.

Good Lord!.. double on your socks! =p
And now I know why there is such a high markup on shoes... tsk tsk
for the record, women don't wear socks. They wear hose.
layer 1 = socks
layer 2 = hose
start a new fashion trend...
HAve them custom made! Then, you can get them in any color, any style and they will last longer than the stire bought! I'm surprised you haven't thought about that. Yes, they will cost several hundred dollars a pair, but the comfort and satisfaction will be worth it!
