Bad news for those who went bespoke....

[ethanm]

I would imagine this would only affect those with high arches that flatten out with age making the foot longer and wider. Good thing my feet are already flat!

welts don't grow half a size longer or wider

Ever heard of shoe stretching?

I know the waist on my trousers certainly hasn't!

Dr. Steven Pribut, a podiatrist at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., estimates that some people over the age of 40 can gain half a shoe size every 10 years.

OP, do you not see the problem with universal application of this?
Besides, we're all going to be living in robot bodies in fifteen years anyway. Lighten up.

Bespoke robot bodies?

Bespoke robot bodies?

If you can afford them. There will certainly be more generic models for the poors.

Ever heard of shoe stretching?

sure. Have you ever seen one stretch half a size in length?

In fact, I'd argue that many lace up shoes hardly stretch much at all (without the use of a mechanical stretching device)

oh come on don't try to make yourself feel better for having flat feet. i tells yous having arched feet rocks! the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantage of replacing your shoes every 10 years.

iroh sounds remarkably like Reevolving.

Are you sure about that? I didn't see any mention of "cognitive dissonance", friends with different valuations of shoes, or any man-tit pictures.

trolling aside this is interesting issue. My assumptions is that feet flattening happens because of sedentary and wearing ill fitting shoes. I have seen several podiatrist and they all recommended that I spend as much time as possible without shoes.

My feet have actually shrunk half a size over the last ten years. Maybe I should take cold showers and air dry as it may be the hot water and tumble dryer that is shrinking them.

Mine too. After wearing a 10.5 for most of my life, I now wear a 9.5 or 10 in most shoes. I actually tried a C&J Sydney loafer in 9 that fit perfectly - never thought I'd see the day when I could wear a single digit size!

 

[Hayward]

In my Twenties I was an 8 1/2 EE, by the end of my Thirties I was a 10 in most brands. Now after losing 30 pounds I'm a 9 1/2 EE or 10.

And yes, I recently tried on a pair of Dehners I had made years ago. Too tight. As are the brand new replacement pair of Adidas Officials I held on to for years.

10.5D when I was 21 and bought my first AE's. I'm 45 now, and some 12D's are too short in length..I'm 20 Lbs heavier too.

JLibourel's feet must be fwocking huge.

He's nearly three hundred years old!
