Inner soles?

BeehavingBaby · 06/04/2012 22:55

Same here, buy only Clarks or Fly in the sale off Amazon (weird sizing, check the reviews to gauge which way the style goes).

I'm exactly the same, sizewise too. I found some gel heel things in Superdrug - supposedly for blisters. There are some small round ones abou the size of a 20p coin, and longer ones, about 4 inches that fit round the heel. I've fitted one or the other in every slightly-too-big pair of shoes. They're fairly cheap if I recall.

Me too. Lost half a shoe size after Baby Goo.

I get shoes from clarks in a 5.5 and use insoles in my boots.

Kurt Geiger do shoes in 38.5 too.

I really have to spend the money on pumps, cause I can't get 6s to stay on and 5's hurt my toes.

i got some of these the other day purely because they do half sizes. Not online it seems but instore they did

Some shoe companies do half sizes. M&S, Clarkes, Gabor. Not at the cheaper end though unfortunately. Would it be better to save up for shoes that fit ?Your feet are precious- don't ruin them with ill fitting shoes.

savy57 · 07/04/2012 20:23

thanks for the asda link will try there tomorrow never even thought about there and yes anniewoo it would probaly be my best solution but i dont want to just have one pair of shoes for the whole summer ive been doing this for years would like a change every now and again but maybe its my only choice :(
but thanks for all the suggestion i will go to superdrug tomorrow and get some of thouse blister things as well to see if any of them work :)

I'm the same between size 7 and 8. Would much sooner be a 7, so much easier to buy! I wear trainers all day as I walk a lot for work and I get 8s and wear two pairs of socks, rather than 7s and risk rubbing. I'll check out those blister things though! I think my feet may be shrinking though, with my weightloss, as more often size 7s are fitting me.
