I have always had long, skinny feet. Think skis. I wear a big size in narrow. My size has increased by one full size over the past two years. I can wear sandals and boots, but dress shoes don't fit anymore. They fall off my feet when I am walking even if they fit fine when I try them on. I have to curl my toes to keep them on. I would blame the shoes, but there is this other weird problem. Socks don't stay up either! Anything not over the ankle slips down. Only on the left. I have tried all sorts of socks including those made for left and right feet. All sorts of brands. I have to wear shorty socks which I don't really like the looks of, but less annoying than slipping down in my shoe! Most of the time, I wear taller socks for my paddock boots; but when I exercise walk, I do like footie socks. Any ideas? Remember the kind with little pom poms on the back? I need those. How about shoes? There are times I need to wear dress shoes and not boots or sandals. Even shoes I have had for awhile are falling off. You have to be tough to get old!

Off visiting Candy Cave, be right back.

They come in packs of six or so, and they stay up for me.

I have some (although they look awful on my cankles. :teehee:) Just do a search for pom pom socks and you will get a ton of choices. I can't help you with anything else.

I can't help you with anything else. Just one more of the sad list of things as we grow old. Your feet spread and get bigger as you get older. I used to be an 8, now I am a 9. Not to mention I have the worlds worst feet and spending most of my life on them has taken it's toll. I HAve the feet from hell! My podiatrist said about the worst he has seen. I miss those footies with the pompoms. I would buy a case if I could find them again.
