Somewhere along the line the mean show size went from a 6 or 7 straight up to 8 and 9 for a woman's shoe and even larger for men's shoes. This is a new development since I know my mother, who was blessed with perfect little size 5 1/2 toes, was able to stop by the shoe store and buy her heels and pumps. Over time, though, those of us that need shoes in small, wide, narrow, and large sizes are pretty much on our own. The children's section may very well be filled with shoes that will support my smaller feet, but this pretty much means I am also confined to children's styles. When did the average shoe size for a young woman skyrocket to a size 8? The children's shoes that are available do not come in heels or even adult style sandals. While buying from the regular shoe store is out of the question, there needs to be a better solution for all of us with feet that are out of the bell curve. Wide and narrow feet just don't tend to fit into the normal range and thus standard shoe stores don't carry them. The inventory carried in standard brick and mortar stores are limited to the average shoe size. This makes sense when you look at it from a business stand point. If most people don't need small, wide, or narrow sizes stocking them just eats through other shoe space that could be sold to those with larger, more average feet. This means a higher profit. From a business perspective, this might make sense but from a consumer point of view those of us with not so average feet are heading for online shoe stores. As they never hide the specialty shoe store in a reasonable, easy to find location, online shoe stores are definitely our best bet. Online shoe stores give us the chance to buy normal, age appropriate shoes for (in some cases) the first time ever. With normal, age appropriate shoes we get to rid ourselves of the kid's designs, the pinched feet from the just barely close enough shoe size, and the chronic slipping from shoes that are too wide. It actually gives us the selection of shoes that will fit us and fit us well. In all honesty the size availability that you can find through an online shoe store can lead to healthier feet. If your feet are never supported, always pinched, or slip around in just about every pair of shoes that you own there is a likelihood that your feet will start developing problems. Foot health leads to back and knee health, and it can all start with a shoe that comes in the right size. Commercialism 101 prompts us to understand at an early age that when you need something, you go get it. Shoe stores are no different with the exception that they have pushed onto us a generational footwear subculture that is soon to be riddled with hammer toes, bunions, and corns from inappropriate shoes that just don't fit. Of course, many of the brick and mortar shoe stores have decided that if you need a shoe that does not fall within the bell curve of average that you will have to pay more since they can call it a specialty shoe. So, by their logic, even though my smaller shoes require less material to make, I get to pay more for it as well as go through the inconvenience of driving back when the "special order" arrives? Thank goodness that online shoe stores have caught on to the overwhelming need for small, wide, narrow, and large shoes that are sold for some of the cheapest deals around.
