after a "state of our relationship" discussion with DH last night, apparently I'm "not making enough effort" to wear shoes which are even vaguely fashionable/attractive, so I have been instructed to get some new shoes. .
Anyway, my difficulty is that I have horrid feet, so not very much actually fits. I have bunions on both feet, so need to go up a size in order to get the right width, but that means my heels slop about. i can't have anything "low cut" or which cuts across the big toe joint. Similarly I can't have anything with much of a heel, as that puts pressure on the joint as well.
So, what I'm looking for is 1 pair of shoes I can wear to walk to school (mostly pavements, but some muddy bits)/general day time wear, with jeans/trousers, but which might also look OK with a skirt. I need to be able to wear socks (with the trousers) as it's too cold at the moment for bare feet (IMO), plus I get blisters easily. They need to be leather, and (preferably) black. I might have an unlimited budget (but that was probably DH attempting to sound reasonable, as he has NO IDEA how horrendously difficult getting shoes for me actually is), and he's agreed to sort out as much child care as is needed to let me shop for these shoes.
So, help please, what is fashionable, comfortable and might fit? (oh I have cankles as well, so ankle straps are out too).
