I think everyone will experience this incident during shopping. If you found clothes, or shoes that you like the most, but when you ask for your size, it does not have anymore. Will you sad? Today I just went for shopping and I get to find a lovely shoe and it is on sale. However it doesn't have my size. I'm quite sad and I keep looking at that shoes but disappointed that don't have my size. How if I could reach the shop earlier during the sales. Hope I could found the same shoes in other place in future.

am from the philippines and i do know that even in a rural place like mine in a third world country there are still those that do custom made shoes. i also am aware that even in the richest city in the world, london, they still do custom made shoes. so, i suggest you take a photo of that pair of shoes with your phone then ask around for i know they might be able to tell you of that place that does shoes tailored to your foot shape, size and style .

Hi, Ritchelle. I think that my country don't have custom made shoes. If got, it must be expensive. Shoes like Adidas or Nike also got custom made shoes for different size and style?

i missed that part. well, those brands come up with new shoe models faster than a blink of an eye (i think) and they always come up with better shoes again and again. so that pair isn't really for you. just save up on the next shoe model and you might end up being able to buy two or three pairs in different colors .

hi ck^^;; it happened so many times on me. i would surely feel a waste especially if it's on sale but later i figured out that most sales either clothes or shoes are on broken sizes..so it's really by luck that you have your size. on the other hand, i would leave with a smile thinking that i've saved my money again LoL. sometimes people buy things because it's on sale and not because they need so i just considered it i don't really need it so it's not really for me to buy that item or there will be a better item for me that is really a bargain

Hi, ck3259! This has happened to me so many of times! If the store did not have the shoes in my size, I would have to ask the store clerk if they had anymore in stock. That way if they do, I can just use the ones in stock. If they still don't have it, I will be mad and disappointed. Hopefully, maybe another store will have shoes that are similar to these that you can fit. You may need to try that same store but just in another location. I hope that you can find it.

Hi cream, I had ask the clerk to check clearly. If they say don't have, I'll ask them check clearly again, since I couldn't accept the truth that it doesn't have my size. T.T

It happens to me a lot the sizes that fit me are always gone .You see I am a mid size persons and so it seems are most persons .Consequently these sizes go rather quickly leaving behind either the extra large or the extra small sizes.I normally just spend time looking at the item and hold it for a while but then I move on to anotehr store and I hope that I find the item in the right size for me

Many a times with many a things , this experience becomes a common problem for a common person in everyday life. not only shoes but clothes or ornaments are sold and we like it after its sold or if it has some defects. I feel very bad If I miss things in a seconds go when other customers buy the thing which i have choosen. about shoes, surely anyone would feel sad if you cant get the shoes u like becoz of scarcity of sizes.

Coolcat, thanks for your response. Mostly I'll check carefully before I buy, to avoid buying a defects item. Yes, it happened to me also, the things i want just bought by another customer.

Honestly speaking, I always feel sad -- as such is a usual experience for me almost always when I go shopping. I'm tall considering the average Filipina size so naturally I have big feet. It's quite frustrating every time I find a design that suits my taste very well only to feel utter disappointment when told that there's no available size for me. Well, they have my size sometimes, too, however, most of the time, it seems like the big size doesn't look as good as the smaller ones despite having the same exact design. There are even times also that big size fits loosely on my feet though the length is just right. Sadly, such dilemma also happens when shopping for clothes -- bigger sizes have wider bodies so fitting loosely. Tough luck, isn't it? So this may seem funny you but there are times that when I find a design which has my size, I buy two or three different colors. That's what I call shopping spree! :-)

there is nothing I could do but to find another pair I would like.it is useless to buy a pair that will not fit me.I will not be able to use it anyway.I would rather spend money on a pair of shoes that I will use.I would find another beautiful pair that will fit me.

Hi ck3259 Ah, that incident often happen to me. I have small size (35-36) so usually the shoes that I want doesn't have my size I feel sad and sometimes I think to just buy it, who knows my feet will become bigger in the future? I'm still 18, so there's chance! Two years ago, I found a very pretty high heels and I try this method (bought it although it's too big for me) and now that pretty shoes still in my cupboard, still too big for me :( Now I only buy the shoes if it has my size. I know that feeling, sad and really want to buy that shoes, but can't because of feet size. Then I'll forget that shoes, believe that there's more pretty shoes for me in other shop,,hehehe..

Hi! I don't buy myself shoes very often, but if I like some and there is not my size, I feel very bad. I think about it with days and go in all the shoe-shops to search for the shoes I've liked, and if there is the right size for me. Once, maybe 2 years ago, I've liked a pair of sport shoes, but the size was "45"(European standard) and I wear 42, which was very bad. I went about all the shops, but I couldn't find the same shoes. And maybe after 2-3 month, when I was on a trip in another city, I suddenly saw the same shoes in a store. So I just went in and ask the seller for the right size. And what do you think- I was so happy to hear, that there are some pairs from my size. I even didn't try it, I just buy the shoes, and I even think about it- "should I buy a second pair?", because I liked it very much. But I don't have money enough, so I just buy one pair, and went out happy, that I have the shoes I wanted so much

Hi nautilus, you're so lucky that you could find your shoes in another city. Hope that I could find it in one day.

Yes, I would be extremely disappointed especially if it was one of the few pairs of shoes that I actually liked. I'm kind of picky when it comes to shoes, so if I found the "perfect" pair and they didn't have the right size for me, I would feel so sad. I think I would just have to force myself to continue finding another pair that I like. Like you, while I look around for another good pair, I would keep thinking about that pair that I really want but doesn't fit me.

That happened to me a multitude of times, and it gets annoying. But it taught me something, if you are planning to buy something, and it ws on sale, head to the place immediately!(as the old saying goes, the early bird gets the worm) I usually have shoes a size bigger than im actually am so i can have it longer, and it seems like everyone has that size in stock. (size 12 in US) But if im unlucky, i would either heaad to other stores around the area, or jst order some online.( lazy option, :) )

It so happens that the shirts and T shirts we like very much are not our size many times.I think that it is one of the disadvantages of being normal and normal built as the regular sizes get sold first in any store.If you are of on the xl or xxl type you definitely stand the chance of getting whatever like in your size.

This dilemma is common for me, and I have discovered that in order to buy clothes and shoes that fits my size, I would have to shell out extra money. The reason for this is that I am tall for a Filipina and the shoe and dress sizes here as I was informed snootily by a salesclerk that it was "Asian" size. "Asian" hence it would fit my seven-year old niece. So even if stores display signs that they are on sale, I'm not interested because I won't get anything anyway.

Well,I often meet this,too.I also feel sad.But it won't be a long time.I tell myself I will meet another one better than this.And actually I could find the another.When we meet this situation,we needn't to feel sad all the time.Cuz it's help you nothing.Why not open your eyes,and go to find some one else.

Hi ck! It happens to me all the time. When I am planning to buy a shoes, so then I'll go into malls and search for one, there is no always a size that fits me. It makes me sad but I always think positive about it. I am always saying to myself that "this day is not for me, I should get a new one next time" But when I am only malling and look into a shop, I would be seeing shoes, and without me planning about it, there are lots who fits me. So I end up buying them. I guess the moral of my story is that, I should never plan to buy shoes at all. Instead, I just will not think about it, and get one for myself

It is a common thing.You can try to buy on the Internet.Contrast with the shops,I think shops on line has more kinds and a overall size .You also can conttact with the owner of the shop .I believe you will get your size eventually .
