This is an odd problem, I think partly anxiety related, partly real.
I seem to have very small feet (narrow) so that very few shoes bought in the high street fit me. My of the time I have mess around with various combinations of inserts, foam and chiropody felt to get shoes to fit. The problem seems to have got worse over the years. I get nervous buying things anyway and the problem seems to be getting worse over the years. I'm not sure that's all anxiety or shoe sizes have been getting bigger.
I get pain in my right ankle and also developed plantar fasciitis, which is damage to the ligament at the base of the foot. This might be due to the fact I'm wearing shoes that don't fit properly. My feet too get very hot and uncomfortable in warm weather.
All this restricts me from going out and doing things.
None of therapists I have seen wanted to discuss this. I wanted to talk about finding strategies to solve this problem.
i'm now trying to get special shoes made to measure. To date this has n't been successful. Maybe because I get nervous and don't think through exactly what I need. I'm now going back to one place I had shoes made before to see if they can adjust them so that they are right for me.
This is such a weird problem i'm not expecting anyone to come up with answers. This is just where things are for me right now.
