Hi, and welcome to the forum - it is a great place to get information and ideas, communicate your ideas and such with others, and not feel alone!

Clothes and shoes are an issue for me too. I cut out the tags of everything I wear, and will use a sharpie marker (silver for black clothes, and black for the lighter - to either put the size - or just to know which is the back on some things. There are some fabrics, and some fits of clothes that I can not wear - no matter what.

Shoes - For winter - I will wear a WW shoe - that is more a mesh like maryjane type of shoe - double wide really helps to feel more free in the toe area, even with socks. In the summer it sporty mens flip flops - because mens are just wider and I am too sensitive for the tiny hell shoes made for women! I love sketcher styles but way tooo skinny in the foot width!! I have bought mens sneaker type shoes - because of that - not as pretty - but the size difference is perfect. I wear a womans size 8 (double width) but a size 7 mens. If you can find womens ww you will be in luck though! Footsmart sells a bunch of stylish stuff (but its expensive) Onestop,Womanwithin - they sell plus sized clothing, but they also sell shoes that are WW, and some are reasonable. I hope I gave you some ideas - its hard to be comfy - I sure know that!!! Take care! stacey
