Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.

I'm 7-71/2 wide (don't know what size wide, I'd rather not find out) and pretty much only grandma shoes fit me. Often times if I want something cute I have to go up to a size 8 or 8 1/2 which led to much tripping when I had a pair of super cute heeled sandles (which I totally wore out because I loved them so much I wore them all the time, even in winter). I can get around it by buying mens on occasion (I think I'm a size 5 mens, not sure), but it sucks. It sucks ass.

I'm not so tempted as to go to the neighborhood shoemaker, though. Maybe one day when I finally break down and desperately want a fantastic set of heels that fucking fit me. ahahahahahahaha

Aw, really? I have a TON of cute shoes and I'm a 7 or 7.5 wide... but it's taken years and I baby my shoes to keep them! I really like Liz Claiborne Flex shoes and boots because they keep my feet looking cute.

But I'm probably blind to how much time I spend looking for shoes that fit at this point!

I wear my shoes out unbelievably fast, and hate shoe shopping for longer then about a half an hour every year.

My mom, until she had her feet surgically broken and reset, had it even worse. Bunions like you wouldn't believe. Fortunately I'm just wide, I don't have bunions.

I was a 6.5 extra wide until I had foot surgery, which then landed me at an 8. The closer it gets to needing more surgery, the smaller my feet get. I can sympathize with your mom, though it sounds like she had it way worse. My mom, on the other hand, was a 9.5W.

I wear size 5 mens, too, in sneakers.

I'm an 8 1/2 EE--the only women's shoes they make that fit me are for drag queens. OTOH, men's wide shoes (and right now, for mysterious reasons, all the normal men's shoes at Sears) fit me just fine. Yay for being butch. I couldn't imagine trying to be femme with wide feet. Good luck finding cute shoes--maybe drag shops can help?
