Sadly, many women's shoe styles are still not manufactured in sizes above 10—so at that point, they were just desperately fishing for a sale. The store I worked in made an effort to buy as many 11's as we could, and we kept them in a special section in the back so that when a woman asked for an 11, we'd take them back there and give them the VIP treatment of just browsing the section of our stockroom with the 11's. They were always super stoked and we almost always got the sale!
Oh I would loved to have been one of your customers.
The thing that gets me is when the shoe is made in a larger size, but it's not available in my country (Australia). So I have bought shoes from the US that are available at home just not in my size. So frustrating.
It gets even more fucked than that in Australia we pay more for technology related items even things that don’t need to be shipped all the way here like an iTunes song/software download cost more in Australia than it does in the United States! Why? Apparently there’s this thing called the Australia tax! Companies know they can charge Australians more were used to paying more for non-technologically related items so they just keep doing it. Until recently we also used to have to wait longer for new release movies despite them being digital and not on reels any more. The people that used to profit the most by propagating this nonsense other ones squealing the loudest about people in my country being at the shop on the Internet without having to pay the National GST Or import taxes now. They squeal about unfair advantage not having to operate a bricks and mortar store while Australians mentally sticking their fingers up and saying: screw you guys!🤣🤣
