Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

If a sandle is long enough the toes won't be over the front or sides.

These sandles are too short: How Often Do You See This???

The last two pictures are just gross!

I see it all the time, feet hanging over the front and back of the shoes.

I do feel sorry for women that feel their feet are too big. They probably have much better support for their bodies.

With that said, feet are gross!! IMHO of course. They give me the willies.

I don't think feet are gross....they are just feet. We need them and often treat them poorly. They can be gnarly for sure from how we treat them but that does not make them gross to me. I am thankful for the ones I have whether they are gross looking, gnarly from years of heavy use or just plain worn from the years just like the rest of my body. That being said, wearing sandals that don't fit properly makes no sence to me.

I refuse to buy sandals where my feet don't entirely fit 100% on the shoe. I wear a size six, so I don't have big feet. Sometimes, the sandal is not made wide or long enough for the feet to fit on properly. Some brands are cut shorter than others.

I suppose a close toe shoe can fit same way. No wonder our feet hurt in shoes.

Thanks for posting, @ECBG. (I appreciated what you said in the other thread.)

The "correct" photos you showed are exactly right.

On the other hand, I don't like the look of 1/2" or more space.

I always size up a half size when I buy sandals and they usually fit perfectly with a tiny bit of space at the toes which is much nicer looking on the foot than the toes hanging over. (or the heel for that matter) Makes it look like these women think their feet are smaller than they actually are!! And PLEASE get a pedicure before exposing your toes girls!!

That's why I can't wear most "peep toe" sandals.

They are not made properly and when I walk, my big toe tries to protrude through and it is very uncomfortable, like walking around all day with a hole in your hose or socks.

Actually if a shoe is too big toes will hang over too - like that last picture. A Macy's shoe dept employee advised me of this years ago.

Over the edge toes does not always indicate the shoe is too short. The pitch may be too great without the security to hold the foot in place. The last picture is an example.

Many models and celebrities look to wear high heels that are too big as there is a gap in the back of the shoe. Again it's the pitch.

But the entire shape of the shoe should accommodate for that. It's poor design if you toe hangs off and you have too much real estate behind the heel no matter the pitch.

@muttmom @software,There is a stick on pad for under the ball of the foot to prevent sliding forward. There are also glue sticks for that purpose.

@software,@muttmom, The laws of gravity say the foot will come forward.

Glue sticks?

I think I've seen the stick on pads.
