Oh, grrr. I hope you do manage to find shoes that fit.
I was actually thinking about this the other day - I was buying a pair of slippers and saw that my size was categorised as 'women's large' and there was no extra-large, and thought 'What the hell are the many women I know with feet bigger than mine supposed to do?' and then realised it was actually exactly the same as the ridiculous clothing convention that size 8 is a small, 10 a medium and 12 a large (UK sizing, please adjust as necessary), it's just that this time I'm just about within the ridiculously tight parameters the industry sets so I'd never noticed.
