Make all shoe outlets; including Wal-Mart target and pay less! Stock EEE wide shoes!

    As a person who has EEE wide feet! Let me tell you it is a rare foot size! Only a few retailers stock it! One of which is Sears! Which is closing stores across the country! Another is mason catalog! Which charges over $180 a pair! Forcing far too many people to choose between replacing that broken down pair of shoes that is now reaching the point of coming apart; or paying the taxes or rent and staying in their home! If you have EEE wide feet like me! Replacing that broken pair of shoes could mean you don't get to eat this week! No one should be forced to make that kind of choices; just because of what their shoe size is! This is not just a matter of convenience or fashion! This is a matter of human rights! Shoes are a highly vital piece of clothing! Used to protect the feet from damage on the pathment! With out access to shoes in their size; forcing people to either do without shoes; or bind their feet to conform their feet to more common sizes; can result in severe even life threatening injuries! The reason mason gets away with charging as much as they do; is because they have a monopoly on that shoe size stock! When less expensive retailers like Wal-Mart target and pay less sell that same size! There will be more competition which drives down prices! Thus it makes perfect business sense to order all shoe retailers to carry at least some of the more utiletent shoe designs in EEE wide! As monopoly over any business or product (in this case a specific shoe size!) Violates our American values of capitalism and free trade! Now just to be clear; if the store doesn't think it would be profitable to stock high end designer shoes in such a rare size! I can live with that! So long as they do stock the more utiletent shoe designs! Such as light weight sneakers! Work boots! Shoes that are more directly inline with preventing foot and ankle injury; then fashion! Personally I often doubt the legitimacy of those fashion shoes! Because putting fashion before function with really any thing can lead to disaster! Shoes are no different! High heel shoes cause foot injury; ankle injury! Back injury! Women often wind up wheel chair bound; because of injuries inflicted on them by those high heel shoes! Not only could a woman with EEE wide feet do with out high heel shoes! She would be better off only wearing flats! Not only would I be perfectly o.k. with a store not stocking high heel shoes in EEE wide! I would be o.k. with said store not stocking high heel shoes in any size! It is only the purely utiletent shoes I am asking the stores to stock at all! I just want them to also stock said utiletent shoes in EEE wide! Right along with all the other sizes! I don't even want to tell any given store what they can charge for any given pair of shoes! Just have all shoe retailers stock all sizes! And let the capitalist free market process of competition decide the going prise from there! May the best shoes for the lowest price win!
