IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FEET.

[rmd]

Women who read my journal... after a weird cellphone conversation with kathrynt involving feet and ranges of sizes and stuff, I want to know about yoru feet! (all sizes are in women's US shoe sizes...)

My feet are VERY wide. My two recommendations:

1. SAS shoes come in widths. Not just "regular" and "wide", but honest-to-goodness lettered sizes. I usually take a 7 or 7 1/2 shoe, but my SAS Walking Shoes in 6 triple-wide are wonderful.

2. Ryka athletic shoes. Designed by women, for women. Women's feet have proportionately wider balls than men's do. (I just now realized the ways that statement can be twisted...) The last time I bought aerobics shoes, as a final test I did try-ons with my eyes closed, and still narrowed the choice down to three Ryka styles.

Hey, that's what I need! My feet are normal-width at the front, too narrow in the heel-- so something that doesn't squeeze the front is way loose in the heel. Ugh. Didn't realize it was a normal female thing!

So where can I get Ryka? I haven't run across them in the usual (lame) places such as Lady Foot Locker, etc.

The Lady Foot Locker in Christiana Mall, Newark, Del. (land of tax-free shopping!) carries Ryka. This probably isn't useful information for you.

However, the Ryka website at http://www.ryka.com/ has a dealer finder on it, by state.
