Two pairs. Women’s size 11. No longer do my socks get wedged in the gap between the side and the sole of my decrepit former shoes! I am free! Free! Too bad the shoes weren’t. ---

I have a 14-year-old niece who is six feet tall and wears a women’s size 12 shoe. For awhile, her shoe size and her age matched - she was in a size 7 when she was 7, 8 at age 8, etc. We joked when she hit a size 12 that if her feet kept up with her age, her shoes were going to need their own bedroom when she hit 20. She’s a very good sport about her size (incidentally, she only weighs about 120 pounds!) but she had a hell of a time finding nice riding boots last summer, and not too long ago she needed a pair of dressy shoes - poor kid! She ended up having to spend almost $200 for a very plain, but at least reasonably attractive, pair of black flats. ---

**jsgoddess** , [this](http://www.dswshoe.com) store carries size 11. And looking at their website, they have several locations in Ohio. We have them here in CO and I have gotten some teriffic deals. I’m not a size 11, but they don’t seem to discriminate price-wise. ---

Including the location we went to yesterday and found two pairs! 😃 Actually, the 11 part about my feet isn’t the hard part. I generally wear a narrow, though. That’s near impossible! Though the two pairs yesterday were both mediums. Hurrah for shoes that fit! ---

Nordstrom, including Nordstrom Rack, is your friend - not only do they have a zillion shoes, they carry a lot of narrow sizes. (My stepmom swears by them for this reason.) And if you find a style you like, you can buy them online!
