Everybody's feet swell on long flights... Did I tell you my story about a flight from SYD to ATL where I was not able to get into my shoes upon landing in ATL? I had to walk all the way from the plane into the parking lot in my socks
That happened to me coming back from London once! Fortunately I had a pair of sneakers in my checked bag, but I would've had to go through immigration and customs before I could get to it. Told the Virgin Atlantic FA as they departed the plane, and asked for maybe UC slippers but instead sent a wheelchair! So I was wheeled through immigration and customs even though I could walk fine, just shoeless.
