one foot larger than the other help!

is anyone havin trouble wif one foot bein larger than the other?? are you meant to fit the shoes to the larger foot? ive been looking at some celeb pictures, and they all seem to have gaps at the back of the heels - it's not like they can't get hold of the right sizes? do any of you haf gaps at the back of your heels when you wear them?

oh welcome to my world. you have to fit the shoes to the larger foot, as you can always put inserts, heel grips, etc in the shoe of the smaller foot.

and I think celebrities don't always have the perfect fit shoes simply because they don't really have to walk far in them. it doesn't matter much when you're driver is right outside waiting for you

i just really hate the idea having to put insoles and stuf on a pair of shoes i spent like over $600 for..really want this pradas but they've only got 36.5 left, tho all my other pradas are 36. my bigger foot is 36.5 tho.

so do you always use insoles mundobadolsa?

you aren't supposed to have gaps in your shoes when you wear them. i bet sometimes those are shoes given to the celeb by the designer so that's why they don't fit perfectly.
i've heard the best thing to do is buy shoes that fit your larger foot and then put an insert into the shoe for the smaller foot, as mundodabolsa recommends.

depends on the style of shoe really. if it's pumps or something else that can slip off easily in the back then yes, almost all my left feet get a heel grip in the back. it doesn't make a difference really in shoes that are closed or zip up like boots.

for me it's a comfort thing, if I'm going to spend a lot of money on shoes, I'd rather stick an insole in it than buy them in a smaller size so that my right foot is in pain from the discomfort.

I guess it kind of depends on how drastically different your feet are, mine are a .5 size different, so it's manageable.


edit..and I just remembered that once when I was begging this SA to let me buy different sized feet she said they were only allowed to do it for people who had a whole size difference, so it can be advantage in that case to have a more drastic difference! I think this was at Nordstrom...which would make since considering they have great customer service in general.
