Is shoe size 3 "unusual"?

[CleverCircusFlea]

I don't remember having this problem before, but recently, whenever i decide to buy a pair of shoes (which is not that often...), I'm finding it difficult to get hold of size 3...

I've found a nice pair of Clarks clogs, and shop assistant said they do make them in size three, but the three shops i went to didn't have them, they where unable to order them for me, and on Clarks website size 3 isn't even listed as an option, they start from 4.

It is just Clarks. They only do some styles starting at 3 - it is incredibly annoying and I always end up disappointed when I go there.

yes it is. I'm only five foot one and a half and I'm size five (38).

Marion Keyes was apparently told that "there's not much demand for size 3 shoes" and she replied. "I demand size 3 shoes"

Not necessarily "unusual" but perhaps not the best selling size. I have the opposite problem (size 8.5 /9) and most shoes aren't made in those sizes.

I think the people who buy the most shoes have average sized feet.

Can you buy children's sizes?

yes, some teenage ranges from next or try skechers and fly and those kind of shoes on line.

SIZE 3 CLOGS

Are these anything like the clarks ones you like?

queenclarion - that is the advantage of having small feet, I can buy children's trainers, which are cheaper than adult ones, but look exactly the same

So it seems that the shop assistant just lied to me about the clogs being available in 3...

Magaly - www.clarks.co.uk/find/product-is-20339644 are the ones i liked, I normally wear flats, but the heel on these ones is not very high, i got quite excited when i first saw them

Bugger, link again:

yeah those are much nicer than the orthies I linked too

I'm a 35 so a scant size 3 and it is hard finding shoes in that size.

But depending on budget - new look, m&s, next all stock a small 3.

Swedish Hasbeens do clogs in a 35 upwards but they're £££.

Hmm, i have an afternoon off, maybe i should go shoe shopping, clogs are supposed to be "in" at the moment, right? So other shops will have something similar, yes?
I want them!

I have difficulty too. ime a clarks 3 is more like a 3.5 Im a size 2.5 and have a nightmare finding shoes that dont look like they are for 12yo's

I am a size 3, and I find Clarks often start their shoes on a size 4.

And don't you just hate M&S putting size 3 on the top shelf and size 8 on the bottom.

Wheres the sense in that???

I think it's great, there are alway size 3's left in the sales.

Lol to Marian Keyes.

I am a size 3-3.5 (35 or 36 in European sizes).

I agree that it's great in the sales, although I had a similar experience to the OP in Clarks here.

They basically said they only got in a couple of pairs in a 35/36 and I needed to come in at the start of the season (so buy sandals in March! to get any in my size.)

dd (who's only 7) has the opposite problem - she's already size 2.5 and none of the pretty, little-girly shoes she wants come in her size
