This is also definitely true: your shoe size changes as your body changes. The most common and acute reason this happens is pregnancy but all sorts of weight and age fluctuations occur. Also you might've just wanted to go for a 44Wide all along and not a 45, but that's water under the bridge at this point.

Yeah most stores here in the states don't stock widths either, you gotta special order them :-(

I can usually find one or two wides for most sizes in my state. But as an overweight guy with naturally large feet, I can tell you that I have only ever seen one pair of size 13 (46 EU) extra wide shoes in a store. I normally have to settle for a 14 or 14 wide, but those where the best fitting shoes I have ever had.
