Hard to find shoe sizes

It is said the average shoe size of women in the United State is a size 9. The hardest shoes sizes to find are size 6, 6 ½ and 11 through 13; if the larger sizes are found it’s usually the least appealing styles. Our feet are proportioned to our bodies and aids balance. The average model stands at 5’9 and has a shoe size of 10 or higher, this fact should prompt the fashion industry to ensure larger shoe sizes are available worldwide.  The shoe wholesalers also make it difficult for some retailers to have the hard to find shoes available; this is due to the way the wholesalers ship the shoes. When purchasing one has the option to choose from the shoes sizes provided.

To avoid a surplus or overage the retailer has to decide which option they will choose, and in most cases it is the first option thinking they have covered the smaller and average sizes there by neglecting the larger sizes. While the smaller sizes can be found more often than the larger sizes the shopper should keep in mind that they may be able to fit the shoe in a larger or smaller size depending on the cut and design of the shoe, choosing a wider shoe may also solve the problem.
