Aaron, I have the opposite problem with shoes. I need to get a 10 or 11 but lately it seems that I can get into 9 and a half M's. I don't know if they are doing it for shoes but I know with jeans and pants they are. They are making the sizes bigger. I use to only be able to get into 12's and the last few pair I have bought are 6's. Hmmmm. It also depends on the brand. I bought two pair of boots today and both were 9 and a half's. I tried on a 9 and a half in a loafer in another brand and no way could I get my foot in it;/ Kaitlyn The AGEL World Mission Kaitlyn Hill WWW.AgelPortlandMission.com 503-777-7155 503-358-3547 kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WWW.GetAgelInfo.com -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Erin Baker Edgar Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 6:48 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: ot shopping for clothes Hi, I think that catalog approach is a good idea, although the only thing I currently buy that way is dress shoes because my feet are extremely narrow. My current method for clothes is to shop at nice stores like Macy's/Belk's/Cold Water Creek when they have sales, going with someone I trust with good color sense. The person I trust the most in this regard is my mother, so I usually go with her. (And I'm thirty. OK, laugh!--I do.)
