Quoth Docmayhem View PostThe brannock device is still alive and well..
I finally found one after struggling with misfitting shoes for years; she measured me, found me an SAS that fit, and I've been buying the exact same shoe ever since. They must love me there, I walk in, hand them my old shoes, tell them "I want a new pair of these." They look up the size, find me the shoes, I hand over way too much money (last time it was $174), stick my orthotics in, put them on and walk right out again. No fuss no muss no bother.
(They do check every so often to make sure my size hasn't changed; hasn't so far.)Last edited by Shalom; 02-26-2012, 12:40 AM.

Quoth Docmayhem View PostBut try finding shoes when you wear a size 12 in a 6E width...

Quoth AnaKhouri View PostIt's a bit like the people who say, "I need a present for my 10-year-old grandson, what should I get?" "Well, what are his interests?" "I don't know." Well, why don't you ask him???"Sigh, I'm going to Hell.....but I'm going with a smile on my face." -- Gravekeeper

Quoth Mike Taylor View PostI hate getting those customers. "You're a blood relation and you don't know their interests?"
I understand not knowing the kids sizes off hand, but if you're going out shopping for them, shouldn't you have an idea of what size to get before you leave your home?

Quoth raudf View PostMe: Just bought him a men's 7, so go up to a 7 1/2 or 8, please.
Mom: Really? He's only 10!
Me: Yes, Mom. I didn't have a child. I had a weed.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth raudf View PostGood grief, is it really that hard for grandparents to call their kids and get the grandkiddle's shoe size from them? Oh, wait, that makes sense, so it's not allowed!
Definitely not a certainty, but a possibility.

Quoth Moosenogger View PostHeh, I get asked the same question when it comes to clothing. "What size shirt would fit a 9 year old?" Well, that depends on how chubby/tall the 9 year old is. :P
After age 8, all bets are off. My son has woke up in the morning a completely different size from what he went to sleep. He's completely skipped sizes and by the end of the year, I expect he'll be in the 14s just to drive me battier.
Shoes are a complete mystery. Even I don't go shoe shopping for the boy without him being there. And I tell my parents that if they aren't sure of/can't confirm the size, don't bother.
@BroSCFischer - Sounds like my hubby's side of the family. And it also sounds like if your mom did buy the kids anything, the kids probably wouldn't get them. *offers hugs*If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.
