I have not tried on a pair of shoes in 20 years.  My foot will never be anything but a size 10

 

My shoes range from 8 to 10.5. I'm not kidding. Athletic shoes at the top end, sandals at the lower end, dress shoes and sneakers in the middle.

I'm left with poorly-fitted, gigantic sloppy outfits.

 

So you shop where VV executives shop?

 

Seriously, I have to get everything tailored now. Socks, T-shirts, you name it.

You can find more sizes in pumps and heels.

I guess they've never experienced the joy of shopping for shoes online.

^ I think Fluevog's are pretty hot with the younger well dressed set, no?

 

Don't look at me, I've been buying the same two pairs of shoes for about 10 years.

Come on, I've heard of slow service but that's ridiculous.

I think those Fluevog shoes are quite ugly, but again, ladies' 5 is the smallest. I worked with four or five other women with small feet, in the 4-5 range, so nothing there for us, even if we wanted them. Why is 5 the smallest?

I once tried on a pair of Fluevogs. I felt like Minnie Mouse.
