Silly question: Have your feet lost weight??
I went to wear some shoes that I had put away since last winter, and found my feet slipping in them! Have you experienced this? I hate the idea of having to buy new shoes and breaking them in. I'm already finding it expensive to have to buy smaller (love saying that!!) clothes. My budget is overtaxed as it is!! Or am I…
