Donna's Cranky - Shoe Makers Don't Do Narrows

Dear Shoe Lady:

 Regarding the comments under your "Hard to find widths" section and
how perceptions of widths have changed in the shoe industry:  I had to laugh
at "people with very narrow feet are now seen as cranky and trying on
multiple pairs of shoes and never buying..."    We are cranky and never buy
because there is NOTHING TO BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Imagine
how YOU would feel if every time you saw a fine shoe boutique you knew
better than to go in because all of the shoes were only in med. widths or
maybe one or two wide widths.  Narrow need not apply.  What the H---- are we
supposed to wear?????????????   bandages???   Yeah, I know ...
Try Zappos, Marmi, Nordstrom, Maryland Square or Endless.....The narrow
shoes look like granny styles. All 12 of them. 900 med widths.  12 narrow.
Some boots are ok if you buy  very early.  Some plain high heels. ...but  If
you want sandals?  Better have a good shoe repair guy who can take the
straps in.  And now we can double the cost of the shoe AND forget about the
really cute styles as they cannot be taken in or altered.  Only the plain
ones with straight across straps.
I know it isn't your fault....but good LORD can't someone make some stylish
shoes for narrow feet?  Thanks for letting me vent.

DJ.

Dear D.

I couldn't have said it better.  You are right.  The choices are getting more scarce in narrows and it isn't likely to change.  DesignerShoes.com will continue to try to bring you as much choice as we can find.  Thanks for venting with us.  Maybe it'll do some good!

The Shoe Lady

ps.  I hate to tell you but the good shoe repair guys are disappearing too!

I know it sounds odd but if you can't find a cobbler or shoe repair persons that do leather like saddle makers might be able.they usually have the sewing machine. also western boot repair/makers.
