Will go back and try again. </p> <p>I tried on various pairs of booties as well as shoes on Monday and while some of them were a bit better they were not a keeper. Did not walk totally out of them but enough so that I sort of fell...do you know what I mean?</p> <p>I have a narrow foot as well. The SA said part of my problem is that my socks don't fit even though they are the proper "size" as my foot is too narrow and my heel insanely so. Went over to a specialty socks place on the way home to try some. </p> <p>You are not allowed to try them on even with a pantyhose type knee high underneath, they have no trials and no returns. I did buy two pairs though. One is a lovely cashmere Italian sock which I bought a smaller size in but they are very short and very thin. I do believe they will rip where they are knit at the side of the heel as the threads are a bit stretched. The other pair, which were not for shoes, are the most wonderful thick wool socks on earth that are too thick to be worn in shoes but great for bumming around the house. The SA gave me the wrong size which I did not notice in the store. Boy am I mad! Two pairs of socks and over $50 of which neither fit. I called ther company of the thick socks as they are local and if I come out to their location or the flea market in Morrisberg they will let me try them on. That is a real bonus and I did not know they existed and since I am always freezing cold these are wonderful. They have different weights too so I can bring shoes and boots and try them on...whoo hoo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-shopping-woes#post-721722 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:24:51 +0000 Suz 721722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - those would have been perfect for you! So you tried them and they did not fit? SO frustrating. </p> <p>I have narrow heels, too. </p> <p>Do you know...in boots I find it does not matter much...my heel always shifts but if there is support elsewhere I am comfy. In shoes it is of course a disaster - they come off. </p> <p>What's your experience with booties? Same problem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-shopping-woes#post-721719 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:22:34 +0000 Thistle 721719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful shoes, i am so sorry they didn't work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-shopping-woes#post-721716 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:20:05 +0000 Freckles 721716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went down to "the store" on Monday for a pair of fall/winter/spring shoes. The only parameters were closed toe and heel. Now I don't own any closed heel shoes due to an extreamely narrow heel. After trying on shoes for over 3 hours left the store without... I have not exhausted their supply but think I'm almost in the slingback or clog territory.</p> <p>I so had my eye on Munro shoes Bardot. They are so so much nicer irl. The leather is divine...<br /> <a href="http://www.munroshoes.com/our-shoes/281-M611081-BARDOT" rel="nofollow">http://www.munroshoes.com/our-.....081-BARDOT</a> </p>
