Among those of us who are very heavy, has anyone gone up a shoe size or had to buy wide width shoes? Are any of you, like me, no longer able to wear enclosed shoes at all? What are your options?
I have to settle for a certain kind of slipper style because my feet have grown so fat this year. This also makes it easier to put shoes on, because there's no way I could reach my own feet.
I’d posted recently about the same subject, though I’m not in the super-heavy category.
For years until recently, I wore a size 10 medium shoe. But since I’ve gotten past 200 pounds, I’m more of a 10 1/2 wide. I just bought a pair of sneakers not too long ago that’s ended up being the wrong width. Bought a 10 1/2 regular when I probably should’ve bought a wide size. I simply pull the laces apart fairly loose before putting them on.
My wife has been in the SSBBW category for years now and has gone back and forth between a size 5 and 6 depending on the style and brand. Her feet and hands are small; matter of fact, to see just her hands and feet by themselves you’d never guess she was up to 355 pounds now.
