I'd be happy with baggy jeans and shoes in my god damned size. I mean pants that are longer than 34" the eff is wrong with clothing companies?! I want combat boots, knee high anarchy boots, cargo khakis and jeans that are 36-38" in length, hitop sneakers that arent ugly ass nikes and jordans.

I want shoes with actual support that don't look like your grandmother should be wearing them. Icon shoes used to make them, but now their shoes have no support.

I cannot seem to find a decent pair of shoes that I can wear to work (either pumps or ankle boots, leather with no funky embellishments) in a chocolate brown color, with a tapered but not pointy toe, 2" or lower heel, no wedges or kitten heels. All the brown shoes are tan or reddish or some other odd shade of brown.

+1 on clothing that is made better, and shoes with support.

I would like jeans that had an adjustable waist band, that could be adjusted between 2 sizes. So, say you're usually a 14, but you ate too much over the holidays, you could adjust your jeans waist up half or a whole size. And then, if you lose that extra weight, or water weight, or whatever...adjust it back down again. (And I don't want elastic waist.)

This is why true vintage clothing and shoes sell so well on places like eBay, etc.

There are shoes out there with good support. Some are stylish.

Check out Zappos.

+2
Shirts are made paper thin and I hate them. Also why can't they make women's t-shirts with wider arms. I build and remodel things and my arms are not twig like.

I hate the new sneakers/tennis shoes. None of them have support and the ones with all the memory foam look like boats on my feet since I have larger feet. I miss my old Nikes form 25-35 years ago

I just went to the ortho doc for a foot/ankle issue, and he recommended HOKA for arch support. They are pricy sneakers for running and other sporty stuff. Not sure if I’ll get any or not.
My gripe is, why don’t they make all shoes in all sizes. Why do they skip 10 1/2, for example? Why don’t all shoes come in narrow and wide sizes?
