I've written about this before: I save things that don't fit because I can't find what does fit. Several years ago in L.A. a podiatrist reluctantly discussed my metatarsal arch problem and sent me to an orthotics shop. They brought out a tiny metatarsal support, made me stand on it until we found exactly where it worked best (which is under the metatarsal bones near the middle of my foot, not under the metatarsal arch) and glued one permanently in each shoe. Last time I went there, they had gone out of business.
I've searched the stores and the web and all I can find are supports that are too big. So I'm wearing my old lumpy clogs around the house. Sheer desperation. When I have to go out, my newer clogs are making my foot problems worse.
I need pants with a long rise, because I have buns and a long torso, and such pants apparently don't exist. I have to buy a bigger size and then have that pair altered extensively. The last time, the tailor got a little too eager, so now they're on the hanger until I lose a couple pounds.
Men's pants used to have a rise specified, but now I don't even see that in the catalogs.
What makes you wear the wrong thing?
