Is it normal to have feet this wide?
I didn't notice my feet were wide until my family started pointing it out. Then I started looking at other people's feet to compare and mine were approximately one or two inches wider than most people's feet. The thing is, I measured the length of my feet and I'm supposed to wear a size 6.5 in women's. But the shoes that feel most comfortable width-wise are size 9 or 10. Of course I can't wear a size 10; they're too long. That's why I wear a size 8.5-9. This has seriously caused a great big dent in my self-esteem. I don't go swimming and I wear sneakers to the beach because I'm afraid of showing my feet. It's depressing to try shopping for pretty shoes. The worst part is is that feet aren't something I can fix--not even with surgery. I also worry that guys will be turned off and I am worried that I might end up liking a guy who happens to have feet fetish and I don't want him to be freaked out/turned off by my feet. Is it normal or am I the only one with freak feet?
