Double Stack, Narrow Strap

Today's temperature begins with a 6 which means it's time to break out the Rainbows!!!  I'm still wearing my pair from 2005, but, I do have a new snazzy pair ordered and headed my way right now.  Like Redzilla, my feets are still growing and in the last three years my shoe size has increased (wtf?), so this season's pair is up to an XL (I swear, my feets are narrow and don't look too monstrous at a whopping 9.5).  Eep!  I've never had an XL anything before.

I can't recommend these sandals enough.  They mold to your feet and have amazing support.  I can walk miles in these things, they're as good as tennies.  I don't own many shoes, and I'm very particular about the ones I do own: they have to be comfortable, supportive and not horribly ugly.  For that, I'll pay a premium.  A good pair of shoes is incredibly important.

You're so damn dainty!! You'd love these, they're soooo comfy, you won't wear anything else in the summer.

That's a little foot! I was a 7 when I was about 10 years old........*sigh*

my parents had my feet bound as a child. :-P

I hit ladies sizes when I was in 5th grade. I was excited about it then! But now I'm a little freaked out that I'm 27 and my feet don't appear to be done growing. I bought a pair of loafers at the beginning of 2007 and now my toes are banging against the end of them. :-( When will the madness end?!?
Robbbiedobbbie
heheh -- yes -- I could wear my Mom's shoes in elementary shcool -- and then passed her by a few sizes.

Feet do grow (spread out) as we get older..........and people do sometimes grow in their 20's.............it'll settle down eventually.

I''m gonna have to check these out. I need new sandals and some new walking/running shoes. (not that I do much running. :P)

I'm more of a workboot guy,lol. I have a pair of Masai sandals and they are pretty slippery. I am a comfort hound also. I only care slightly how they look.

lol.. i think your feet are bigger than mine... freak!
Valerae
*glare* I think that says more about you than it does about me! :-P

whatever, man-feet!

I wear a 6.5 too, 7 in boots (with socks) but I think I'm at least a foot shorter than you, so proportionally I guess I'm a man-footed freak like Val. Yoiks.

When I was in a museum in Manila they had a display that was just life-size, full-body photos mounted on cardboard of all the Philippine presidents, all lined up against a wall. I guess the idea was, you could walk right up to the cardboard cutouts and see how tall or short they really were in relation to you, and this would make the historical figures feel more like a real people. It was strangely effective.

We should do something similar with the Vox hood, but with feets... Or would that be too scary?
Valerae
I think there are too many fetishists here to do that comfortably. ;-)

What a neat thing with the cutouts though.

Ohhh. Well, they wouldn't have to be actual photos of our feet. When I was little, my mother used to trace the feet of all of us kids onto regular typing paper (five siblings altogether). She would write our names on inside the outlines and then carefully cut them out and carry the paper foots around with her in her purse. This was so she would always have our foot sizes handy in case she stumbled onto a shoe-buying opportunity while out on the town. Is that weird? I guess it's weird. No wonder everyone in my family is shoe-obsessed. :P
Valerae
It is weird, but also really cool and clever. :-) Maybe foot outlines could fly. I'd have to out myself as a freak - yet again - due to my funformity. But it's cool, everyone here knows I'm an oddball. :-D

I'm always looking for a good and comfy pair of shoes, especially for summer time! Living in the land of hills (San Francisco) and prefering walking to any other mode of transportation, I need to look into these Rainbows you speak of!
IG
I saw that post when you first put it up, and only now get what the funformity is! Neat!

lolz, if you were a foot shorter than me, you'd be 4 ft 4 in. Surely you are taller than that!!

Yeah, 7 or even 7.5 in boots for me.
