My son has a size 14 shoe so it's not really a size that's carried inside most stores.

Once I discovered this online store, I started purchasing shoes for myself from there.

One time, I didn't look at the photo of the bottom of the shoe treads online (massive mistake on my part). Every time it rained or after it rained, walking on certain surfaces was like walking on ice from the lack of tread on the bottom of the shoes. This could happen to anyone either in-store or online shopping, so make sure you always check out the treads. I can't stress this enough.
