Have you looked at Zappo's and other on-line retailers?

I feel your pain.  It used to be you could walk into any shoe store or department store and find plenty of narrow width shoes.  I have no idea what happened.  If you go shoe shopping these days and tell them you need a narrow width, they look at you like you are a freak of nature.  I know lots of women who have narrow feet.  Narrow now days is a 2AA.  I can remember they used to offer 3AA and 4AA narrow widths.  It is frustrating.  I don't think manufacturers even know or care that there are those of us who struggle to find fashionable shoes in narrow widths.


@KentuckyWoman.   I have to disagree.  For years I wore a AA width and had a terrible time finding shoes and I lived in Houston, a large city.  The was one small shoe store that sold them and I ordered a lot from Massey's, a catalog.  The department stores, namely Dillard's and Foley's in those days, never carried narrow widths.

 

It was a happy day when my feet flattened out and I "graduated" to a B or medium width.


We had no problem when I was growing up.  There were many shoe stores in the downtown shopping area and they all carried narrow widths.  Those stores went out of business years ago when they started building malls.  Our local Dillard's used to carry narrow widths but no more.  I have to purchase from MarylandSquare, Naturalizer Online, or Zappos.  They all have limited narrow widths and not really all that fashionable.  My narrow foot and high arch haven't changed all that much.  I simply can't wear a meduim width.

QVC isn't a store in a small town, QVC sells nationally and I'm sure that the number of women who wear W widths greatly out numbers N widths.  I get several shoe catalogs and there are lots of W widths offered but not nearly as many N's.  That can only mean the demand is not there.  Having said that, yes indeed.  Check online to see if the Fly London does offer the same shoes in N on their own site or elsewhere.  I wear a W and I've done that and found what I was looking for.

I usually look at reviews and see which shoe runs narrow. I just received the Yuna and it does run narrow. I am not sure why there are not more choices for narrow feet.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!  I used to find lots of narrow shoes at Talbots, now they just have a few.
