Alright, on the abstract ~ what size are your feet? Does it say anything about you?
Mine are 7 1/2 H (UK sizing, only two cobblers here make them that wide) ~ very, very wide... I don't need flippers, I was born with them. As a kid they used to tease I had duck feet... It may mean I can remain standing longer when inebriated? And the teachers and other endless fools who would blame my feet on me bare footin' it, or wearing sandals and zorries... I mean, I've had these from the beginning, I'm sure they caused a pause when I was being brought into this world...
A friend came visiting us and part of that visit was hunting down a new bodhran for them, and a pair of shoes ~ all across Ireland seeking a size 15, or was it 16. We finally found some tennis shoes in a back street shop in Dublin. You could have used the box to store a full set of uilleann pipes...
Another acquaintance, also with size 15s, is well known as a teacher of Cape Breton step dance, and his students are sometimes identified by the size of their movements. As you might imagine, a 5 foot something lass with size 5 shoes trying to emulate a 6 foot plus bloke with size 15s. I once asked him, do you ever warn folks not to necessarily do exactly as you do? His answer was "no!, why would I?" The results were evident amongst a number of his apprentices...
It took me several years to chase up replacements for my old dance shoes, which had already gone through more than half a dozen resoles and reheels, the last re-heel being done in a very 19th century way, with spare bits of leather and some copper nails by someone more used to shoeing horses...
Sorry, I'm still recovering from the Fats Waller video, that was awesome. Ain't a thing new in the world, is there? Did you see the lovely dancing ladies come out at the end and shimmy around ol' Fats while he was singin' and ticklin' the ivories? Like a rap video, but without the bikinis. Fantastic stuff.
My Pop liked to play ragtime on the piano quite a bit, which is a little before Fats' era, but the root of. Good stuff.
I attained size 12 at the age of fifteen, forty years ago. They are broad-fitting, into the bargain. Finding that size round Durham was extraordinarily difficult; local people just didn't have feet that size - it just wasn't done. I found a shop in Newcastle called Wards For Shoes on the Shields Road that stocked them in some variety - I hope it still does - and made trips there to load up.
It got a lot easier as more and more people from the outside world came to live in Durham, and it became commercially viable to cater for their outlandish needs.
FWIW, I have a 45, that is a UK 11/US 12 according to a table from the net. This is probably THE average size for men around here now. Mind you it was trouble getting shoes no longer than 3-5 years ago in my size. I wonder how the average changed so fast...
11.5 UK, 12.5 US, 46.5 EUR. The ".5" is unfortunate because many shoe companies don't do halves in the larger sizes--and 13s are too big. So yeah, even though I'm 6'2" (188 cm) tall, my feets too big
No 15 or 16s yet... On clarification, a width of H here in these isles is equivalent to EEE / EEEE in North America, as I understand it...
Yes SWFL, Fats Waller is one of my favourites. The Ink Spots do a lovely version of this song too. My brain isn't cooperating, but there are a couple of other songs about feet, I just can't remember them. It was someone mentioning Lehrer that started me off on this mad thread...and having finally scored and found a new pair of dance shoes that fit short fat feet...
I don't know if it correlates, but I've a fat head too. I used to ahve to have any head gear for diving custom made... I know, you're not surprised...
Shoes ~ leather bottom Oxfords... There is a particular type of leather called 'oak' that is really hard wearing. I also prefer it on the heel... Short fat shoes seem more easily available over your way, and my old shoes that lasted me more than 20 years and several contients were made by Allen Edmunds, the first decent pair of shoes I ever had ~ that fitted properly... They are now beyond repair, but I haven't yet given them up... We've covered a lot of ground together and, as said, gone through more than half a dozen soles and heels in the journey...
Shoes I really hate ~ those awful bangers made out of fiberglass ~ so they can be as loud as possible, to the detrement of the music and the abuse of ears...
When it comes to music my UK 11s don't cause a problem as I'm not a dancer. And, even when I try my hand at the Connemara Set Fig 4 [The Maggie in the Woods one], I manage ok.
Thanks very much for the Fats Waller video, that was excellent.
Thank you Ceolachan, for the Fats Waller. It made my afternoon. Sorry, but I'm not going to divulge my shoe size. Does a person's shoe size really say anything about them, other than the size of their feet? Now there's a topic for this forum! Happy Friday all. To all Australians and New Zealanders, happy saturday, whats left of it.
I'm a lady. My foot measures at a US ladies' 7. I just walked 600 miles in a men's size 10 and my feet were never happier. They are too wide and voluminous for lady's shoes. I'm going to try a men's size 9.5 for the next 600 miles and see how that works. I did trip over my feet a bit in the 10s.
Dang! You folks over in The UK and Ireland (not to mention Luxembourg) are somewhere around eight hours ahead of us, which makes it Saturday for you too. Shouldn't you be in bed? Don't answer that. Just have the Saturday you feel you deserve.
2:36 a.m. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, whatever that means, definitely loopy!!!
mehit, you with 'dainties'? Somehow I had you in army surplus lace-lace ups, s**t-kickers...
600 miles sbhikes, if you started out with 'ladies 7s', and then walked 600 miles, I'd have expected you'd need size 12 by the end of that...or to pack all that raw flesh in ice...
I'm going for a long soak, you should too AQ, but once more with dear Fats Waller and that lovely video... I like those shoes...
Over heard some ladies in Wal-mart discussing tainted tomatoes. One actually said they're okay to eat if they didn't grow on a vine. What, an eye-dropper and a friggin' heatlamp??
Actually, the tomatoes are supposed to be ok if they ARE sold attached to the vine. People are eejits.
I wear a 5.5 US and a medium width. Once upon a time, I was able to buy shoes used as display models, but these days the displays are 7s and 8s. It's getting harder and harder to buy shoes in my size. for tennis shoes I get a half-size larger (6's) but I can't wear heels any larger than a 5.5 or they fall off. I occasionally use children's shoes, but they don't offer anything adult looking in a dress shoe. sigh. (and before anybody thinks i'm this normal-sized creature with dainty feet, on a good day i stand 4-foot-10.)
SWFL, and anyone else with an interest there, my dance shoes are Oxford lace-ups, if not exactly your 'standard'. My dear wife won't let me go for my general inclination, more unusual designs and colours. I really wanted blue suede, but she wouldn't go for it. The blue suede that took my fancy was sky blue. I fell in love with a Maccafferri style guitar once that was that colour. It was beautiful, and the sound was as well.
Another plus in the design of decent shoes, my old pair and this, is that there is quite a lot that goes into the construciton to add comfort, including between the ground and the bottom of your feet. Cheap shoes are sometimes little more than a single hard layer between you and the ground, which is too often concrete, asphalt, or other 'unforgiving' surfaces. I have done the damage in a big way ignoring such things in the past, and even performing bare footed. When it is hard to find decent shoes that fit, that aren't bought oversize to fit the width of my feet ~ you do stupid things. I'd done a performance and felt the 'twangs', having sprung BOTH arches in BOTH feet. And then, I drove a few hundred miles to take in some rock and roll, a small club with live music and a dance floor. I couldn't walk with my arches, it was really, really painful. BUT, sadly, I could dance, and not feel a thing. I danced, once arriving there in the evening, around 8, until the sun rose the next morning. I had to be carried off the floor once the music stopped.
WARNING: I was on crutches for over 6 months after that foolishness... Be kind to your feet, they are the best support for we neglectful fools that stand on them and depend on them and too often take them for granted... To be fair to the teachers that blamed their width on me bare footin' it, it did and do prefer them well ventilated, but generally ~ I haven't a stink problem. But, like someone else has said, I have always burst out the side of my shoes. For climbing boods I had to use special equipment to expand the sides to fit, and the use of crampons usually meant to their maximum width, on the edge...
So, does anybody else know any songs or tunes to feet?
I wore bright flourescent reddish orange zorries/flip-flops to a session once, but being under the table ~ ~ nobody noticed or commented ~ nor about the blue glass sun glasses, Hawaiian shirt and shorts... Maybe they'd just grown used to it and were taking me for granted.
I have been in a session where I changed my seat because of the cheesy smell rising up from one musician's feet. At least I assumed it was his feet...
If I may, I would make a personal appeal to Mrs. C to allow you to get your blue suede shoes. That would be mighty slick! We'd need a picture, of course.
Red-orange flip flops, blue sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts? Florida camouflage, you'd disappear into the crowd down here.
I remember at folkworks last year I forgot my shoes and went barefoot for 6 days. Luckily my mum brought some up for the end of the week!!
C, my favourite pair of shoes have 2 inch platforms and would seriously hurt if...
Mehi, you lost your shoes??! OohhKAAYYY. And there was me for the whole week thinking you were just some weird "let your feet run naked and free!" hippy.
So you're much more conservative than I thought you were. Right.
Wow! Well John, I don't know how I'm going to fare tonight with all that to populate my dreams, a bit like "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T"... "Happy Fingers"...
Worse, I have to now believe that mehit is petite. I just can't fathom that at all. I had her 6 feet plus, shoulders like a heavyweight boxer, with the cauliflower ears and nose, and hair and feet like Bozo the Clown... I just can't manage a rewrite...
PETITE???
5'3'' but certainly not petite!!!
You're wrong about the cauliflower nose. My nose is so small that it can't even be broken because there is no bone in it.
But my hair, admittedly, is kinda like Bozo the clown.
And my feet are like hooves (hooray!)
When I do break down and buy things on sale of off the shelf, they have to be larger than I actually need, like 9s, and still, down the line, I end up breaking out the sides...
Have any of you seen the musical "Ain't Misbehavin' " which is about the songs and music of Thomas "Fats" Waller? My wife and I went to see it at a local theater last year and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, there were some fine examples of feminine beauty performing in this musical who could both dance and sing equally well.
Thanks to the fact that Scott Joplin's music was used in the soudtrack of the movie "The Sting", I discovered ragtime when I was a teenager and I still enjoy playing it.
As for shoe sizes (and height).....I am 5' 10" and wear size twelve shoes while my wife is 5' 1" and she wears size eight shoes. She takes two or three steps for each of my steps due to the nine inch difference in height.
