I have worn flats for so long I felt as if I will shoot out of the shoes face first. My daughter and three of my granddaughters all wear the same sized shoe, so one of them will get these lovely slides. Back to sport shoes for me...sigh.

They're about the only shoe I can wear comfortably, so that's what I wear!<br /><br />As for ironing, I avoid it as much as possible, and I've never been very good at it. Ed, on the other hand, can iron a mean dress shirt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-73835661087541613682013-07-21T08:10:11.379-05:002013-07-21T08:10:11.379-05:00I have your skinny feet plus chronic planter fasci...I have your skinny feet plus chronic planter fasciitis.<br />The shoes that feel the best are basically walking shoes that I wear with everything. They accommodate my orthodics with no problem. I never looked dressed up but am comfortable. <br />Hope you find the perfect shoe for you. Comfort is all that matters. <br /> Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-22017080316097303652013-07-21T06:26:05.111-05:002013-07-21T06:26:05.111-05:00I rarely iron, so I can relate to what you wrote. ...I rarely iron, so I can relate to what you wrote.

LOL..<br />i had two ingrown toenails removed, but that was 30 years ago. I do remember they hurt and shoes do aggravate them.. wear what is best for your balance and feet and don't even think about how it looks...

I have lymphoma and nothing will fit on my feet except my old black Crocs. Not even 4X extra wide. I have even gone to funerals in them, like the other night. The alternative is having the diabetic shoe people come over and measure me and they would look just like little old lady shoes. And even Crocs are better than that!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-29393721070615072972013-07-20T22:36:58.116-05:002013-07-20T22:36:58.116-05:00I don't iron, thank goodness for modern fabric...I don't iron, thank goodness for modern fabrics!
