British feet
This was a strange article, yet it might be good news for me:
My feet are larger than British shoe size 10 (11 in the United States) and it's hard for me to get decent shoes; very few stores sell shoes in my size. My Nottingham aunt has taken me shoe shopping twice and it took us over an hour each time for us to find me a suitable pair. Perhaps this new report will mean that larger shoes will enjoy greater availability.

You sound like my dad! I have the opposite problem: my feet are too small and it's so hard for me to find decent shoes. Of course, I can find children's shoes, but a lot of them look too girly (obviously for 3-6 year olds). I am a size 5... sometimes 5.5 or 6 depending on cut. I think stores hate too small and too big.
ReplyDeleteYep, the shoe stores tend to cater to people with "normal" sized feet.
Delete7 1/2 here. I once bought a mismatched pair of shoes and saved a bunch of money. Apparently my feet are mismatched.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that some people have one foot bigger than the other. I hope it's not too much of a problem for you when it comes to buying shoes!
