Give up wearing shoes?

To be more precise, I've given up trying to find shoes in my size.

I didn't find any adjustable-toe sandals at this spring's clearance,
but I have at least four pairs of sandals, so I should manage until
it's sandal-buying season again.

I should have taken a look at the men's shoes while I was in the shoe
stores. Seldom very many sandals in that department, though.

The Lace mailing list reported that Walmart had lace espadrilles, and
I'll be able to ride that far soon, but I imagine that they are
already gone.

Goodness, it must get a bit nippy wading
through the snow back there. Christmas time, sleigh bells in the air
and yuletide by the fireside (and cold toes :-)

I do have a pair of insulated hiking boots I bought in the sixties,
when we passed near R.E.I. on our way back from Hawaii. I said they
pinched, I was going to have to try on men's shoes, the clerk said
"wait" and went into the back room and brought out another pair of the
same brand, model, and size -- and this pair fit.

I wear them only once or twice per winter; the "ankle support" makes
steps awkward.
