My mother said, “The Allens will never fall off the earth, because we can hold on with our feet.” The wide feet come from her side, while a very large big toe is from my dad’s family. DP has bitty feet.

My mother had delicate-looking feet with a AAA heel, making it very hard to find shoes, even though her feet were a size six. I got her heel and my dad’s width. Blisters were a part of life, and often still are. I try not to buy shoes too often unless they have an adjustable strap at the heel. I don’t like blisters! The alternative is buying expensive shoes, but even then, I most often end up returning them.
