After my little rant about the awful offerings in wide width shoes and plus size fashion, I went on another wide width shoe search (see my previous post on wide width dressy shoes). Come on world, if I am the CDC’s average height and size, shouldn’t I be able to find decent shoes? Here’s what… Continue Reading Recent Purchases: Hits and Misses, Wide Width Shoes Edition
