Hi Hamish's Mum - what an impolite sales person!
We have similar height and weight stats - and I too have 'fat' feet - made even worse by swelling caused by lymph-oedema! Whilst pretty shoes might not have been intended for my feet, I sure wear them, as they need all the help they can get :0)
I sure hope you will soon be wearing all the shoes you desire - my main concern is that I lose so much weight that my shoes stop fitting me!
