For most of my life I wished that shoe manufacturers would make much narrower shoes. B is the average width for women, and it's too wide ... I'm flopping about in Bs like they're flippers.

Unfortunately, about 10 years ago I developed arthritis in my right foot and now I have to buy Bs ... but they're too wide for my left foot and still too wide in the heel on the right.

That's partly why I like my Lake shoes ... they've got laces and I can do something to adjust the width, like tighten the left one tighter than the right.
