I know there are others on here frustrated with buying clothes and shoes. Recently I have seen shoe sales, so thought I would do that difficult search for size 8, but when I ask for the wide option they only have size 4.
It also seems that the latest fashion for lace ups is to have a zip down the side. I don't get that at all as I wear low shoes because I enjoy walking or need to walk somewhere in the rain. I can't imagine zips down the side would keep feet dry or be very comfortable.
I long for the day when I once again find a pair of soft wide shoes. If I do I think I need to get a spare pair for when they wear out.
I've worn boots since the 90s. I often used to twist my ankle when walking, and so the boots help prevent that.
Long before I was diagnosed, my wife would call them my summer boots and my winter boots (no difference, same boots. A joke).
And then I see this thread and I think... There's another example of being autistic that was always there in plain sight.
I’m exactly the same with boots, my ankles feel like they are out of their joints in shoes and painful, last summer I was the only person walking on the beach in boots. I don’t own a pair of shoes, they are never wide enough. I suppose the bright side is that I can easily walk in snow!
Someone else who wears boots on the beach like me!! I look stupid! I don't care! Thanks for telling us that.
