Thanks Friends!

Thank you so much everyone for your thoughts about American Duchess shoes! Super helpful stuff! (Especially starlightmasque who was just excited about pretty shoes and enabling costume buying habits. ;p) I think 7.5 is my safest bet for my wider feet, since I'm sort of on the cusp between 6.5-7 in regular shoes. I can always stuff the toes or heels a bit, if needed, or even stockings might be enough. Of course, I'll never really know if they'll fit my feet until I try them on (isabelladangelo made a good point about how they don't fit her or her mom's particular feet because of the height at the back of the heel), but that's the best I can figure. So this might be one of my Christmas presents... :)

ha ha-- you used the word "especially" instead of the proper "except!"

:) I'm just going to ask you what I should do whenever I wanna buy something. You have the best advice!

I enjoyed reading all those comments too! I didn't have anything to add, but I was living vicariously through you and your friends :-)

Vicarious shopping is fun!

Isn't it :-)

I almost had something to add. I was going to buy the American Duchess skiddoo shoes but I needed to check on something with the makers. And while I was doing that someone bought them on me. The last one in my size of those shoes EVAR!!! *sobs*

I was thinking if you do have trouble with them too high in the heel an arch support insert might help a lot. You can get them for very little on aliexpress.com Just in case, I thought I'd mention it :-)

Oh man, that's sad.

Thanks! I have heard a lot from lots of different people about adding inserts to shoes. Seems like the thing to do!

I know. I was devastated. First world problems!

I have either shoes made to be really supportive of my arches, or I use an arch inset. Makes them more comfy by far :-)
