10 retailers that sell extended and rare shoe sizes

Whether you have an extra long foot, wide foot, narrow foot, or a combination of the above, it can be difficult to find a pair of shoes. Many brands carry sizes between 4-10 for women’s shoes and 5-12 for men’s. That’s not very size-inclusive as there are many folks with feet that don’t fall into those ranges. The same concept applies for clothing where many brands don’t carry sizes above an XL—unless they are plus-size friendly. And everyone deserves to have fashionable, high-quality, and comfortable-fitting shoes, right? Hint: the answer is yes.
