Feet growing?

A few years ago I began to have terrible problems with shoes. I could barely walk when wearing them, as my feet were so painful. I bought lots of different pairs, and considered making a doctors appt. Then I decided to have my feet measured.
Instead of my usual size 5, I found that one foot was now a 6, and the other was almost a 7 and a half!!
The shoe shop woman told me that feet spread: the connective tissue loses elasticity.

Sad but true- I did lose a bit of foot width when I lost weight though.

You have my sympathies MawBroon I’m having real trouble with my left foot. I’ve had a bunion for decades that suddenly decided to grow painfully. I’ve also apparently got a morton’s neuroma and now a lump has developed on the top of my foot that’s grown along a nerve and makes big toe numb and is really painful. I walk as a coping mechanism for stress and I’ve had to give that up so I sit here getting fatter by the day because I’m comfort eating as we speak there are about 10 shoes in a bag waiting to go to a charity shop. I’ve spent a fortune on shoes they fit in the shop and after one wear I realise that they are too painful to wear. So somone is going to get a a bargain at least three pair of hotter shoes never worn one pair worn twice. A pair of fittlop. A couple of M&S A few beautiful high heels. I have recently bought two pairs of reiker shoes/boots in the hope that I will at last find some comfort. Ps it’s taken me years to pluck up the determination to get rid of shoes that in my heart of hearts I know I just won’t be able to wear again.

morethan I don't suppose they're in size 6 and 7 1/2, by chance? I may be interested!

SorryMissA there a 4/ 41/2

Hopefully they'll go to someone who is really in need of some comfortable shoes. They'll bless the day they found them.

I once bought a pair of shoes I couldn’t stand up in! I put them on when I was seated at the wedding and then took them off to Home.

I loved them so much I put them on a shelf in my bedroom so I could adore them !

I know JUST how you feel Morethan

N&G that made me just what I needed on this very grey day. Cheers
