If you find out that you have wide feet, once you start wearing shoes that are made in a wider width, you will like shoes more. I promise. Didn't you say you shop at Payless? I used to do, and they have widths. Try on a wide width shoe there...it's much more heavenly, and you don't squish out the sides like you might with a "regular" width shoe. It's nicer-looking, b/c there's actually ROOM for your foot, instead of having to play Cinderella's stepsister with the shoe.
