Buying shoes is so frustrating

😑 I guess I'll try to find some proper insole for my old pair and leave it be for now. I spent disproportionate amount of time in stores lately and to no avail. Always something wrong. Moreover I'm so pissed by these designs for "men" and "woman". Why the f **k can't they make black shoes in smaller sizes as well? Whenever I see shoes I like, the smallest size is 40.

wtf is this?

I want these colors and I bet I'm not the only one:

@Royricky09 Thanks I have 38-39, depending on the shoes.

These look awesome and have smaller sizes too. You wouldn't find anything like this here. Just Adidas Terrex at most. Also, the price is too high for me...or rather, I'd have to be convinced they are really that good that they are worth so much money.

Royricky09

@CrazyMusicLover I blindly trust Woodland.

I have 3 pairs over 7+ years old and still in perfect condition.

Its too difficult for me to get good shoes because of the flat foot issues.

For super comfort I switched to DC SHOES. They are really good. I'm sure they are available in EU. But a bit costly.

Royricky09

@CrazyMusicLover if someone is traveling from other countries to EU, ask them to bring these for you if these are of less price there

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@Royricky09 We have DC shoes here.

My problem is that I usually need a bit more space for toes, so it's better if the shoes are wider in the front and most unfortunately aren't.

Royricky09

@CrazyMusicLover same problem for me too. DC shoes are good for it and woodland.

There are some good Indian brands, but I'm not sure if they are available where are live

@Royricky09 Noooo. Baťa is pretty bad. 😅 I could never find anything there and people I know had bad experiences with their shoes.

Royricky09

@CrazyMusicLover I see
