that reminds me...SHOES....
listen to this....for those that have large feet and cant find shoes..this is what usually happens:
most stores tend to order shoes that sell in common sized....for instance if you wear between a size 6 thru 9 adult...stores will order a large number of those (avg between 8 to 10 pairs for an avge size store) as the sizes go up... the number purchased go down (size 10 thru 12 they order between 4 to 6 pairs) once they get into super large (like mine) sizes 13 and over....the store may order only 2 to 3 pairs.
And of course if you are one of those insistent folks who likes the show so much that u want the display, the shoe that is genarally displayed is most of the time a size 7.5 to a 9.
And some times if you wind up having to get that shoes...u can usually make the store give u a discount citing either a slight discoloration or....if 'others' have tried it on.....wear and tear.
