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

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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.

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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. 

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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.

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe 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.

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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!!

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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.

Re: Fitting Exposed Toe Shoes

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.
