    I understand your pain, too.... My son and husband are both 13s, and that can be tough enough.
    Have one nephew who wears 14, and I know it's pricey to buy them even when you can find them.

    Totally have the same issue. I am a woman with size 14 men's (size 16 women's btw), and can't find men's or women's shoes! So I have to wear runners :-(

    I used to find the odd pair of size 14 men's shoes at our local WalMart. Then, about two or three years ago, they stopped displaying their shoes by size, instead grouping them by style. What a dumb move - I haven't even looked at their shoes since, let alone bought from them. If they think I am going to go through all their stock to see if they have anything I might be interested in, they can think again.

    By the way, another thing that puzzles me about shoe displays in many stores is how they arrange and label the shoes. Smaller sizes are usually at eye level with larger sizes (for taller people) often at floor level. Labels on shoe boxes have the size in a tiny font meaning you have to bend down and squint to read it. You can understand why I refuse to search through their entire stock only to find nothing that fits or suits me. On the odd occasion I have suggested to the store clerk that they show the size on the box more clearly using a felt marker. Most just give me a puzzled look. However, in the last couple of years I have noticed shoe sizes have become bolder on more boxes, not enough though.

    It's a search for people with smaller shoe sizes too, if it makes you feel better.
    Funny, went to Target in the US and looked at the clearance shoes and boots in the men's department. The sizes STARTED at men's size 11. The smaller sizes were no where to be seen.

    Ah, as I have said before, people in the U.S. have bigger feet.
