Or, there's surgery for toes, I hear...
They are mostly size 6 and seem to need 1/2 size (but many/most are "fashion shoes") - I'll check into it. Thanks.

I also think I might have shrunken by a bit (I was already 4-11 1/2) - LOL

When people go barefoot a lot, the feet spread out. I think I read about this happening to people a lot during quarantine.

Yes, but it happens gradually. You don't have to get all new shoes overnight. I suppose if you can afford a ton of shoes, you can afford new ones. Most people aren't wearing shoes from twenty years ago, anyway.

You beat me to it. I brought brand new $110 Keene water shoes down here but years of bare feet and they don't fit anymore. No closed shoes do. Just sandals from here on out, or tennis shoes if I am walking alot.

Agree about ears AND NOSES. All seem to get larger and looks awful. And those bushy eyebrows---WTH is that all about??

I think boobs may get bigger too. "Matronly" look. Ick....

LOL - I wish boobs would get larger. My eyebrows have thinned - hope my nose doesn't get bigger (or ears).

I've gained weight as I've aged but 2 years ago I had to buy all new shoes 1/2 size smaller because I started stepping out of mine at work as I walked. It was the weirdest thing because I've been size 9.5 for decades and now I have 4 new pairs (same brands as usual) of size 9 that are working out just fine. My athletic shoes still fit good enough, just the pumps and flats were giving me issues.

You say that like it was a bad thing. "Her boobs are too big" is a nonsense statement, like "He's too rich".

Now overly bushy eyebrows, you can just trim them or if it's getting out of hand, electrolysis.
