What I'd bet on is that even if they are supposed to be similar, growing up wearing boy or girl shoes - which are probably of different shapes - will differentially impact the feet. Feet are quite malleable (see the extreme small feet of some Chinese women a few centuries ago), and if you adapted them to what is considered a "male" shape by shoemakers, it's going to be hard to change them to a "female" shape.

you'll have to start a new chick fashion for 'sensible brogues' or something. (don't we have special regular diaries for this here?

helen i bet massage would help. or maybe bovver boots. maybe they're not in style for women any more...they sure were last time i was blighty-side.

my poor mother had amazingly deformed feet from high heels and shoes with winkle-picker front-ends.

they're coming back in italy, murderous looking things they are too.
