Has it always been this way? If not, perhaps you're getting kickball foot in the right. Real note: I have heard of people having 2 different sized feet.

I think it's always been a thing. I tend to walk out of or pop the heel of my left foot when walking in non-containing shoes. When I got measured for workout shoes they're like hey your left foot is a size smaller than your right. I'm like oh, so that's why I walk out of that shoe.

But now the problem is I have two pairs of just classic heels I'm trying out. I've needed just a nice pair of businessy type black heels forever. I usually give up and return the ones I try, but I'm determined this time because I need close toed heeled dress shoes. The first pair are a little taller heel, which I like, but the right foot is fairly tight. I walk out of the left one. I think once broken in, the right shoe would be fine.

Second pair is lower heel, right foot is comfy, and at home I thought the left was good. Today I'm wearing them for the first time and I walk out of the left. So now I'm like why bother going with the lower heel that I like less if I'm still going to have the same problem. Now to see if blow drying the right shoe will stretch it enough and adding an insole to the left makes it tighter on the other pair.

Why don't you just tell them you need to buy a pair of shoes, but you need the right to be one size and te left to be another?

According to this one size difference isn't a problem so quit whining:

Here you can order custom shoes of differing sizes. Remember when you could just go to a shoemaker for that?

Here you can buy shoes one at a time:

so I'm like the 12% because 60% have different sized feet but 80% have a bigger left foot. Now I can tell DH I really am special, haha.


I am going to try putting the insert I have in the left one and see if the sock stuffing/blow drying expedites the stretching process for the right.....sounds like a lot of other people have had success with that online. Maybe I'm not quite special enough to order different sized shoes.

I don't know about online, but I don't know why you couldn't at a store. That salesperson is working on a bonus commission. They'll do whatever they can to make a sale.

well I assume they'd want you to buy both complete pairs and I wouldn't want to do that.
 
wait what, 100% chance of rain but the futuremap shoes no rain after 5. Figure out your ****, weather website!
 
has anyone used a shoemaker? I have a pair of boots I love but my special left foot wore the heel unevenly on one boot. Oh yeah, I do that too. I think I've mentioned that my left foot sits crooked on shoes. DH has been walking behind me and is like what is wrong with your foot? It's coming off the heel.

I think that makes thing wear down unevenly - instead of this heel just being worn down overall, it's lopsided so if you set it on the ground, it'll tip over now. They weren't that expensive and the material was starting to peel off so maybe they aren't possible to fix.

Well, it seems, then, that you should be able to capitalize on your uniqueness and get good trades with people having a small left shoe and a large right shoe they won't be needing.

Yeah, I thought of the other term after I posted that. Unfortunately today about the only place you find a cobbler is on a restaurant menu. I think there might be one left in the whole of the Twin Cities.

EDIT: Boy was I wrong. There are three pages of them on Google but some of it is clearly repeats. I need to get some shoes in for a fix.

Dress for rain and get laughed at. Win-win.

Have you ever thought about getting a handicapped placard for that condition?
