In lieu of boring pictures of baby blankets in progress, I bring you this Mind Hump meme:
In the song I'm currently listening to, U2 proclaims they still haven't found what they're looking for. What are you looking for? Have you found it?
What am I looking for? A pair of shoes to love. My feet are shaped like the rest of my body - relatively short and squat. I suppose in an odd way things got better feet-wise after Willow was born because my feet grew while pregnant. Yeah... that is one of those weird things that baby and pregnancy books rarely mention. I went from a size 5.5/6 W to a size 6.5 W. So I have small, wide feet. They actually rather square-ish. The kicker (haha - pun intended) is that wide shoes usually start at size 7. So, I have plenty of pairs of shoes that my feet slide around in and which is probably causing me to walk weird. I also have a few pairs of mules or slides - because there is no back to the shoes I don't have to worry about slippage so much. I really want some cute slightly heeled (chunky is better) leather mary janes. I have a pair of MUDD ones I recently bought and love - but even those are slightly roomy. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have short wide feet too (6-6.5)! They are expensive, but dansko shoes tend to fit me well, and they have lots of styles. Plus they are suppose to be better for your feet then standard dress shoes.
I'm mostly a running shoes kind of girl, for which I heart asics.
Oh Jo, I knew you were a girl after my own heart! My Fred Flinstone feet are size 5D -- my daddy always said I would have been better off wearing the shoe boxes. I wear a lot of Birks -- the Rosemead is a nice Mary Jane style -- no heel, though!
Dang feet growing baloney. As if my feet weren't big enough. Now I'm a 10.5. Do you KNOW how hard it is to find 10.5s?

I have small, wide feet as well, even after bunion surgery. I don't have a specific shoe to recommend, but I do have a brand - Sudini. Most of my closed-toe shoes and boots are Sudini. Roomy forefoot, chunky enough heels, totally comfortable. I sometimes buy them from Sierra Trading Post (www.sierratradingpost.com).
