Fio's Feet

Fio's feet have been troublesome since childhood, when pull-no-punches Mother observed they were large, low-arched and high-topped, simian-heeled, and fan-shaped.

To further agitate Mother, Fio couldn't stand a shoe to touch her foot anywhere.

But Fio stuck to her guns, and now, when she doffs her size ten (wide) Crocs, she looks down at unblemished feet and straight toes. When Mother took off her 7AAAAs, her feet were masses of corns and calluses, and her toes were misshapen.

In the eternal mother-daughter competition, Fio think she won this round.
