Duo no wide fitting sandals. The Shoe Tailor nothing for the under 60s. Anywhere else?

TigerFeet · 10/04/2008 15:36

LOL Dances

I will have to check later - there are others in the office

Oblomov · 10/04/2008 15:37

Yeah, yeah Tigerfoot, I have heard all these idle threats before, from Threadworm.
Go on then, prove your worth. Give me your statistics

BBBee · 10/04/2008 15:39

hay dances - how's the muffin top? Mine is coming along nicely dvd stil untouched

Oblomov · 10/04/2008 15:43

Love dances measuring facilities - LOL
Right mine is 24.5 at widest part. My foot is 23cm long
It is fatter than it is long.
This means that I am approx size 4 and a GG fitting.
I generally wear a size 5 only coz I can't fit into f**k all else.
Anyone do any better?

PLUS, I am currently pregnant, this is me at my thinest so I bet you will struggle to beat me, in a few months time -

Oblomov · 10/04/2008 15:45

Oooohh how I long for slim,long elegant feet.

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 15:53

AH BBBeee well mine is also collecting dust on a shelf in regular use Actually can't do it at the moment as am a decrepit wreck but once fixed am going to try and start again soon as am determined not to be blubbery monstrosity deemed to scare animals and sensitive small children.

I am sitting on my hands trying to stop myself from measuring my feet in front of bemused colleagues!

Oblomov, when I was in the later stages of pregnancy all I could wear were my jesus-sandal style walking sandals with velcro fastenings at the toes and ankles. Absolutely nothing else would go on my feet, other than DH's canoes trainers. You didn't want to know that did you?

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 10/04/2008 15:53

I have long fat feet, it aint all that

Birkies all the way here, although I did buy some divine jewelled-toe thong-type sandals from Matalan today. They are lush.

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 15:55

...when in swimming costume on holiday is what I meant to put on the end of that last sentence.

Oblomov - just going to get tweenies thingy again to measure length of feet...

OP posts:
DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 15:57

OMG 23.5 cm in length. My feet have the same length and circumferance too and I'm not even pg!

Oblomov · 10/04/2008 15:57

Tiger, I too had to wear dh's velcro flip flops. In January.
Can't wait for dances tweenie measurement. LOL

Oblomov · 10/04/2008 15:59

Dances, its you and me together girl.
Stumpy hobbits unite.
This is not good, is it ?
I don't know why I am proclaiming my worst assets.
Not good.

TigerFeet · 10/04/2008 16:00

Ooooh shall we do a list like they do on the antenatal threads??

Oblomov 24.5cm wide 23cm long
Dances 23.5cm wide ? long
TigerFeet TBC

I have horrible non-ankles too. Dsis has wide feet but at least has a nicely turned ankle

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 16:01

Oh well I do have good ankles but unfortunately they lead to calves that a rugby player wouldn't be ashamed of

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 16:02

STUMPY HOBBITS???!!!!

Well balanced and sure-footed I think

OP posts:
Oblomov · 10/04/2008 16:03

I don't have ankles. But I have the best norks you have ever seen. And fortunatley they don't reach down to my non ankles.

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 10/04/2008 21:09

Oblomov · 11/04/2008 20:59

Nancy ,you are crowned queen.
Let us slip on a tiny dainty slipper onto your 'stubbers', in celebration

DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe · 11/04/2008 21:00

All hail Nancy for she is OUR QUEEN

nancy75 · 11/04/2008 21:02

well thank you! its take many years for my hobbit footedness to be truly recognised - now find me some bloomin shoes!

Oblomov · 11/04/2008 21:06

Funny that, we forgot the reaosn for the thread. To actually find shoes. Naaaahhh, we're screwed

nancy75 · 11/04/2008 21:08

i know, doomed to a life of ugly sore feet!

DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe · 11/04/2008 21:09

When I win the lottery I shall have all my shoes hand made. I'll pick gorgeous shoes from 'normal' shops, take them to my minion and have them made up in 5 different colours each. If you're nice to me I'll have the minion make some for you too
