They are pricey but comfortable and last forever. My LM is 16 months old and I am wearing the same ones I got when pregnant.

Went into Google, and they have Lululemon in the Land of Oz! Have joined and got a $10.00 voucher for doing so. Shall have a good perusal tonight when all chores are done. Hitch, you do know why there is not standardisation for shoes don't you? Simply because then it would all make sense, and we can't have that in this crazy world can we? Many thanks to all.

As each country, each designer, each populace all have slightly different feet that they used to create each last (every last is created from a human foot model, to start), we will never all have the same size 6-1/2, or whatever. In many cases, such as mine, this isn't a bad thing--if all shoes were conformed to Italian lasts, I'd have a tough go. And the shoe sizes certainly don't vary wildly like women's clothes do, at least--a 6-1/2 in one manufacturer will be tight on me, but another's slightly loose--not the same thing at all as me swimming in one designer's size 3 while I can't breathe in another's 6. Ah...a shoe discussion, at long last. Hitch |

(they didn't say which continent) style feet. Long and narrow(prehensile?) shoe fitting. I love these snippets of information. Google "Parkinson's Last Show" where he interviews Michael Caine and Billy Connelly. Michael Caine is a font of information which my hubby calls 'useless'. Just my cup of tea. Cheers. |

Tim Winton's latest novel Eyrie is 48% off. Down to $23.09 - Arrrgh! Australian book prices are awful.

The other thing I noticed about lasts is that some are more straight and others have more of a curve or slight "C" shape. New Balance sneakers, which many rave about, fit me horribly, because they have no curve. They're made for a straighter foot. Since Nike's fit me well, I would guess that folks who love New Balance, seriously dislike, Nike's. |
