Seriously, how? Shoe stores carry women's size 5 and 5.5 in regular shoes, but the sneakers always start at 6. Yeah, that flops off my damn foot like a clown shoe! (Ok, so maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but whatever, they don't fit me!) So I move on over to the children's department and they have a size 3 (slightly too small) and a five (even bigger then the adults 6, i swear). No 3.5, 4 or 4.5 in sight ANYWHERE, not even in ugly shoes so I can find my real size. I haven't bought a real sneaker in years. I usually buy whatever is cute and cheap when I am in Target or some equal-type store. So where in the hell can a girl find adult sneakers in size 5, I ask? The children's don't have the styles that I would want, but I would suck it up, if they had the damn size I needed. But they don't, which makes me want to hold out for a womens, but I have no idea where to even start looking! Any ideas ladies?

OK, first I am totally jealous that you have such tiny feet. Second, I don't know if they have Fleet Feet by you, but they do a foot analysis to see how you walk and how you wear down your gym shoes and make sure to put you in the right kind of shoe and at the right size. They can be pricey depending on the type of shoe you pick, but at least you know you are getting the right shoe. I would always buy cheap gym shoes and now that I have been fitted I know what the right shoe is. It makes a big difference.

Thanks for the offer, Heather! That's really nice of you. I haven't worn an adidas since shelltops in highschool, so I have no idea how they woudl fit me. I will have to check them out. For some reason I gravitate towards Nike's...

I know right! A sneaker connection, that's pretty cool. I wasn't trying to buy online though, cuz I need to try them on. My feet are small, but they are high, so sometimes I need a bigger size to accommodate my instep.

I am scared to buy sneaks online, since I really want them for comfort so I can begin taking long walks (hopefully working my way up to jogs!)

I was going to suggest Eastbay too, DH & I have been ordering shoes from them since before the internet when it was catalog only (damn we're old!)

They have good selection of styles and sizes, you can search by the sizes you mentioned and they have all kinds of Nikes. Good luck!!

      Hey gorgeous girls, Myself Varun Sundar from India. I am 32 years old, single, never married. I am a freelancer. I do content writing, technical documentation, localization, surveys, youtubing, teaching and training. I am not well settled in life. But with whatever I earn, I can take care of my expenses and will not burden anyone. I am an average looking tan typical Asian man. Well, my expectations in terms of life partner is really weird. All I want is a financially independent woman. The appearance, age, nationality, past life including kids don't matter. But, if you have been married before, I require you to be legally divorced for the purpose of obtaining visa and citizenship in the future. And, your kids must accept me too. I would definitely require their consent. I am planning to relocate for my love immediately. So, it won't be a distant relationship at all. And I am not a fake or a scammer. I can prove myself through video call whenever you want. I am willing to give my unconditional love, care and affection to my soulmate.

      Atlantis Bahamas wedding

      By Pamelama · Posted

      Hi all! I am trying to plan my wedding, and would love some pictures so I can get some ideas as to how things will look. We have chosen The Cove at the Atlantis for our ceremony and outdoor reception. Anyone else have a wedding there, who can share?

      Which dress do you like better?

      By Usman · Posted

      Of course my vote goes to dress #1. But I want to point out that the bride's dress is not the most important attribute at a wedding. Of course it is very important, but as an "experienced guest" who has been to many weddings, I want to assure you that more guests' attention is tied to the interior. Most of all I remember the wedding of my best friend, they took decor for home https://flowersdecor.ca/, and decorated the entire room with it, because of this was very comfortable to be there. I loved the atmosphere and will remember that day for a long time.
