When it comes to shoe shopping, Aislin doesn't have problems finding shoes that fit, but she still chooses to shop at Poppy Barley. Why, you ask? We wondered the same thing. Thanks to Breanne for helping her share her story.I couldn’t help but laugh when the Poppy Barley team first asked if I would be interested in writing about my fit issue, or rather, lack there of. They were calling me out, in the most kind-hearted of ways, on those absolutely standard measurements saved in my profile! It’s true; my shoe size is an average 7.5. My feet are neither wide nor narrow. My arches are fine and, unlike Kendall or Lisa, I’ve never had to turn down a pair of boots based on my calves. So, while they are not without problems – I’ve got bunions that would make your grandma cringe + osteoarthritis that makes my love of running a tad painful – my feet have never caused a riff when it comes to retail therapy. Truthfully, being an in-between even comes with some perks! If you are ever brave enough to open my front hall closet, you’ll quickly find yourself dodging a landslide of shoes & sizes: everything from my ratty size 6.5 Converse kicks to many a pair of kinda-tight-but-I’m-sure-they’ll-stretch-and-after-all-they-were-on-sale size 7 pumps, plus an array of size 8 boots that fit just fine when worn with extra thick wool socks (a sweet silver lining during those freezing Alberta winters!).
