I had to spend 5 days and go to 4 cities, a dozen department stores and 8 shopping malls to find a damned pair of shoes - and mine aren't even wide. Just normal size 12 - but I wanted LACES, not fvcking velcro. I'm not mentally deficient, I just have feet that are a normal size. Wanna know what I ended up with? Some fugly all-black offbrand work shoes with the most annoying tread pattern ever. We men face the same situation with our shoes as women do with their clothes - ever-shrinking availability of realistic sizes and an enormous glut of crap like size 9. Go to a bowling alley, look at their rental shoe collection and the distribution of sizes. Size 12 is the most common. Now go to a shoestore and buy a size 12. Oh, wait, you can't. At least around here.

You should try ordering shoes off the internet. Usually a much larger selection and the shoe sites offer free shipping both way. Less hassle, more selection FTW.

In the future, that's exactly what I'm going to have to do. Because this is just ridiculous.
