Only women who shop will be able to understand what I'm about to share. I trust this includes practically every female on the planet, with the exception of renunciates who have been living on mountaintops and in caves, intentionally going barefoot. Sisters, are you with me? We're talking shoes. Women's shoes. Specifically, shoes for women with amply expanded feet. If your feet are more than pleasingly plump, you need wide women's shoes.

There's just no way around it. Those slim little sling backs you see in store window displays would make for very torturous tootsies on almost anybody, but especially on a woman's wide foot. Sigh. As every woman knows, no matter what the size or shape of your feet, buying shoes is a major undertaking. You can search far and wide. Women's shoes are not simply a matter of popping down to your nearest shoe store and snapping up the latest style, unless you're a perfect size 7. And even then, that sort of shoe buying behavior is best left to men.

No, for most women, shopping for shoes involves more time, energy and creativity than picking out a husband - especially these days, when so many women are choosing to remain single, and direct their shopping talents to shoes. For wide women, shoes shopping may consume all the extra energy they'd have to use to pick out the appropriate guy, and sometimes, a gal's just gotta choose comfort over convenience. I mean, how much fun will any woman be, if she's suffering from bunions and blisters because she used all her energy to shop for a guy instead of for wide women's shoes that fit her like a glove?

But I digress.

Buying shoes with "depth", as it's sometimes euphemistically called, used to be a kind of "wide" show. You had the feeling your feet were on display, rather than the shoes for which you were shopping. Fortunately, the world of wide women's shoes has evolved in recent years, along with clothing for the amply-figured woman.

Just as mu-mus have given way to more elegant attire in larger sizes, the range of shoes available for the woman with the wider foot has similarly grown to encompass more fashion-conscious styles. No longer will your horizontal hoofers need to be clad in the equivalent of oversized fake fur bedroom slippers. Now wide women's shoes come in the same array of colors, designs and uncomfortable heel heights as shoes for those itsy-bitsy, slender feet.

But stay strong, Sisters! Just because you can buy wide women's shoes in painful shapes with a pretty appearance doesn't mean you should. You remember that old chestnut, "You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything"? Stand for comfort with style, and refuse to succumb to the type of shoes that women have had foisted upon us for millennia. Buy the wide women's shoes that sing to your tired tootsies-and you'll still have time and energy left over to sing to your tootsie, once you drag him home from the shoe store.
