I have always been extremely hard to fit, but it was because my feet were so long and so very narrow. Recently a bunionette flared up and I ignored the fact that all my shoes hurt it terribly. I ended up with a staff infection in that area, and was told to buy wide shoes from now on. Josie, one of the advisors at ICS has been a tremendous help to me in choosing shoes to order. She has advised me that certain shoes I had picked out would not work, others would, and she has been right! I still need extra inserts to take up some of the excess space in the shoes, but thanks to her guidance, I now own 4 pair of comfortable shoes. My only additional wish is that one ofthe companies would make a more "dressy" flat with the roomy toe space that would look better with skirts and dresses. Thanks to Josie and to ICS!!!
