No Jaywalker Love

Well, the high instep strike again. The second-try enlarged-cuffs on my toe-up jaywalkers STILL don't fit me. Can't get the cuff over my heel. What a bummer. Are my feet really shaped that much differently from normal? I'm just a ribbed sock kinda gal it seems. They're striping nicely now at least. I'm not redoing the whole cuff a third time, as it is all done now except for the ribbing. I will just find someone who wears about an 8 or 8.5 and share the prickly pear goodness. A very nice gift I will squirrel away for someone with the right shoe size.

OHHHH, NOOOOO! E, I am so sorry this is happening - what if you waited 2 inches, maybe 2.5, before beginning the Jaywalkin'? Oh, girl - no fun, no fun at all...

Hi E. So sorry to hear this is happening! I have had this problem also...ripped out the heel 3 times! Very frustrating. Think I've got it now, though. We'll see.

By the way, I wear a size 8 if you ever need to get rid of those socks! :)

Hi E! Bummer. I'm so sorry you are in J-walker heck....I had to futz and futz with mine, too. I agree with WG, it is quite frustrating. I, too, decided I was a ribbed sockie kind of gal!
