Heartily agree. One of the reasons I gravitated to trainers in the last 4 years is the "running shops" still have multiple sales staff who know what brand fits what foot. They even go out back to get your size or look on their phone yoke to see if it's in stock. The best shops have a dual online business so you can get your size sent out. And I was charmed by the cheeky sales person who brought me cool running socks to try out with my NB trainers then wrapped them up saying "I've given you a discount so the socks are basically free" (they were FIFTEEN EUROS)
It is a wonderful experience to be served in a shop by a trained (& very pleasant & helpful) salesperson, I’m so glad you found something you loved Maggie 👞🥿👠👟
Come to Italy (I say annoyingly). Gorgeous shoes, but unfortunately all the winter stock is in and because my feet have swollen in the heat, nothing from home really fits. The only summer sizes left are teeny or mammoth. Quite maddening.
We’re very lucky in Sydney to have Peter Shepherd shoes, where even people with super wide front feet & narrow back feet, and who need an orthotic, can buy magnificent shoes in green suede.
Wonders ! The best ! Stylish comfy abd quality I have various boots and shoes over many years ! Quality and reasonable price buy in Melbourne but Spanish( ?) Brand 🥰

Agree, I’m annoyingly between sizes a true 4 1/2 and all the major brands don’t fit, I buy online a pair in 4 and 5 and generally send them back 😢
