no shoes that fit - Call me Cinderella!

so I almost had a melt down this morning on my way to work...I tried on 4 different pairs of sandals...not one fit...the one pair has always been pretty loose...Finally found a pair I could get on my elephant foot...My left foot is swollen like crazy, of course with a cankle to go with it....'sigh'...My flip-flops last night also looked like I was squishing them from the top...I guess I am shoe shopping this weekend!

Re: no shoes that fit - Call me Cinderella!

  • My feet have been the same way.  I've been rocking the flip flops a lot lately because all my closed toe shoes are just way too uncomfortable.  Now even the flip flops are getting a little snug!

    I have been rocking my Skecher's sandals for a few weeks, now. They were the only thing I could wear all summer while pregnant with DD & I'm sure I will be wearing them everyday to work this time around, as well. Since they are leather, they have some "give."

  • I'm pretty much living in flip flops these days. I'm not working anymore so I couldn't imagine trying to squeeze my swollen feet into high heels or any of my flats. That just sounds painful!

  • I feel your pain. The bad thing is your feet may not go back to the same size PP. I had to throw out so many shoes that I loved last time because my feet grew a whole size! This time it just seems like they are swollen. I need to do shoe shopping this weekend too!

    Shhhhhhh....I'm still in denial. I have a few totes of shoes I refuse to get rid of (from before DD) because I am "sure" I will be able to fit back in them someday.

    In reality, though, you are right. My feet are a size bigger and I really hope they will not go yet another size bigger this time around.

  • I'm in the flip-flop camp as well. This sucks.

    Don't be ashamed, I just threw out my denial shoes right before we moved. Its been over two years since they fit. I actually found it to be more liberating than I thought! DH can actually SEE that I need to shoe shop!

    Luckily my swelling went down after DS and I could get back into my shoes OK (or unluckily, because shoe shopping would have been fun LOL), but I have been rocking the Birkenstocks for a month now, and I am hoping they last through the summer, if not I will have to buy something else, as I cannot wear flip flops since a tore a tendon wearing some a few years back Sad
