Just home from shopping trip for sandals. Walked into shop, picked a style, tried the left foot on and was very happy with the look. Asked the assistant if I could try on a pair... She went off to get the other shoe and came back very apologetically saying "we only have wide fitting left, sorry, but I can order you a regular fit" .....

She has no idea why I left smiling despite not getting my shoes. Having had "wide" feet for 30 years, this is the first time anyone has looked at me and judged that I must have "normal" feet... Whoo hoo!!!!!!

that is awesome. I also had issues finding shoes that would fit. now I can find stuff that fits. It is a great feeling

It is - and these little victories mean so much :-))))

It's the small things isn't it??? What's funny is that noone else would understand but this group of people! CONGRATULATIONS ON NOT GETTING THOSE SHOES!!! LOL!

Thank you - how the world changes :-))))

Exactly.. It's the small things that mean so much and leave us smiling. Just being able to walk by my reflection in a downtown window and not moan was mine today

Yes its great. I was a wide width for most of my life. Now wides are too big. The little things mean so much
