What dress shoes/boots would a podiatrist recommend?
I bear the misfortune of having a bunion on each foot. The general advice one finds online is to wear wide running shoes or some sort of square-toe monstrosities. The few doctors to whom I've spoken also recommend wide shoes, so toe boxes that chisel or taper are seen as exacerbating to my...- jjacks

How should dress shoes fit?
Dress shoes are typically are narrower and pointed near the tip, so I was wondering if that narrow portion of the shoe is supposed to be filled up by your feet, or is the narrow pointy section of the shoe supposed to be empty? If the latter is so, are dress shoes typically longer than, say...- annms

One foot bigger than the other - What can I do??
Just bought a new pair of shoes (pictures will be posted). My right foot is slightly smaller than my left, as a result the right shoe slips off a little bit. What would be the best remedy? An insole? Heel grip? Thanks- ShayaEXQT

Heel lifts up slightly (out of shoe) when walking.... yet...
.... the shoe fits properly all around (I could not go a even 1/2 size smaller), and the laces are tied tight. Is this simply because a brand new pair of shoes tends to be stiff, and just needs breaking in? After that, I'd expect the shoe to ply more easily, and maybe not try to remain so...- Reevolving

Air "whooshing" Sound From Shoes
Does anyone have an issue with their shoes making a "whooshing" sound when they walk? It seems to happen on my better fitting shoes.

Alden Indy Boot Fit/Sizing Question
Just picked up a pair of Indy boots and I'm second guessing my size choice a little. I'm usually somewhere between 8.5 and 9, bought an 8.5E boot.
