No, I never had red shoes. I have the family "Frisian feet", wide across the toe (4") and narrow at the heel (2"). When I find shoes that just plain fit, it's a cause for celebration, doubly so if they're not tan boats. And if they fit at the toe AND the heel, heck, I'd throw a party just for the shoes as guests of honor!
When I buy shoes, I walk down the row to my size (approx. US 9), look for 9Wide, xxx out all the tan boats, and pick from what's left. Boo hoo, I can't remember that "what's left" has ever been red! My red-shoe equivalent was a pair of knee-high zip-up suede boots that I wore and wore and wore until the synthetic rubbery soles got some kind of plastic "disease" and started to stick to things. My current equivalent is a little pair of suede ankle boots made in Rumania or some lovely European country where feet are not size 3 and 2 inches wide. They fit at the toe AND the heel, and I've worn them to enough parties, I guess they do deserve their own by now.
