    Yikes, I hope I never go down a shoe size. Size 5.5 is hard enough to find. Any smaller and I'll have to buy my own cobbler's bench.

    Youth shoes! I wear a women's 11 and often just buy men's 9.5 or 10s, which can be a little wide but have way more selection than you will ever find in a women's 11.

    My son is a size 13 men's and he really needs a B width, but that's near impossible, so his good runner's for cross country are 13B, his everyday sneaks are 13D in the narrowest style we could find (a Nike laceup). He absolutely cannot wear slip on shoes of any sort, or skate style shoes, etc

    The only shoe I like is a flip flop. They're weight gain/loss proof.

    Not only is my feet narrower but I have gone from a size 6 to a 5 and some size 5 are now even too large. I don't really want to end up as a 4.5. I wouldn't mind loosing some calf size though to fit into some of the cool knee high boots out there.

    Nope! I'm now walking out of my Ugg flipflops because the leather bands are all too big now.

    LOL. I stick to the $1.99 kind of flip flops. I don't know about leather. B)

    Welcome to my world. In my younger days (slightly after the surface of the Earth cooled) sizes 4.5 and 5 were the sample sizes. So not only was my size 5 easy to find, at the end of the season I made out like a bandit on sample sales.

    That was then. This is now, when many manufacturers don't even make any shoe smaller than 6. I buy almost all my shoes online but only from retailers who have brick and mortar stores in my area. I can try the shoes on at home and as long as they haven't been worn outside or scuffed up they can be returned with no problem and no fiddling around with return mailings. You may have a wider selection of your size where you live -- congratulations if so. I recently had to scramble to get shoes for a wedding because we only had six weeks advance notice.
