Another shoe-ish thing

tephraFinally, someone starts to get it.
Now if they would work on making them a bit bigger and much wider. If I still took a size 12 I'd probably be happy with the current selection in catalogs, unfortunately I take a 14. Very wide (EEEE, with an EE heel but there's no one making shoes on combination lasts these days).
My current favorite pair of shoes are actually a pair of black work boots, mens 13 extra wide. Good thing I like stompy boots. They're comfy, even with warm socks. :) Unfortunately they got cut (though thankfully not all the way through the material, they're still wearable) so I'll have to try to find replacements. :(
Unfortunately I will likely never own a pair of fashionable "off the shelf" womens boots that extend more than an inch or two above the ankle. "Plus calf" boots only fit a 20" calf at size 12, I don't think a size 14 (if it existed) would be anywhere close to the 24" calf I need (to wear over nylons/bare skin).
I really should get back into my home shoe making experiments once I get some extra cash.
