Hip Redux
Oh, no, they were being totally serious. I was living in San Francisco at the time and there were several shops down in the Castro with several good options for big feet heels!
Ya, that's what I'm saying. We've shopped for shoes from those places, online in our case, but the selection is not exactly something my wife would wear while teaching.

I go smaller, if anything. Never had a bruised nail either.

For those anxiously awaiting the conclusion (lol!) I just went back to the LRS. A different person was there than the guy who fitted me. She said the 9.5s weren't too big, but the 9s weren't too small either....she said she could see why he put me in 9.5s but that she could see how I may be more comfortable in the 9s and to get the 9s if they felt better. They did problem solved.
