[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is 5'5" and a shoe size 7-7.5, he has trouble finding shoes. [/quote]

For dress shoes, Allen-Edmonds is a good option. They have extended sizes, for both length and width. Go to an in-person store for fitting.  A-E uses several different "lasts", so a 7.5 D might fit in one style but an 8 C might fit the same foot in a style with a different last.  They cost more, but can be resoled many times and also can be refurbished so are a good long term value.

For running shoes, sizes below 8 can be challenging. Brooks has some limited offerings below mens size 8.  Color choices from Brooks for a given style likely will be limited below an 8. However, Brooks shoes in all sizes are designed to provide good performance.  Brooks only sells running shoes.

New Balance also offers some smaller or narrow/wide options. The more expensive ones will be good performance, but NB also sells a lot of low performance "fashion" athletic shoes.  Important to understand which sort of shoes one is buying. Unlike Brooks, NB also sells tennis, basketball, and other kinds of athletic shoes.

Most Nike shoes below mens 8 are designed to meet a certain price, rather than to meet the same performance as the mens regular sized (8 and up) athletic shoes. I can't really recommend them as a result. [/quote]
