Why is it that most of your shoes come in half sizes up until size 10 but then jumps to size 11??  Please bring in some 10 1/2 size shoes.

I also wear a size 10 1/2.  I've never understood that either.

The reason size 10 1/2 is scarce is because there is only a scant 1/8" between a 10 1/2 and a size 11, not enough to make a significant difference.  It's very hard to explain but as the sizes increase, the difference between sizes decreases.  On this chart, study the difference between a size 5 and a 5 1/2, it's significantly larger distance than in the larger sizes.  Hope you're good with fractions.   You can Google this chart and see the whole thing yourself.

Thank you--I face the same frustration!!  I bought the recent Earth ankle boot TSV, and as I tried them on all I could think was, "I wish I could get these in size 10 1/2."  Most of the time I have to wear shoes that are either too big or too small.  Arrgh!

I wear a 10 1/2. I can't wear an 11. I have quite a few size 11's that fall off of my feet. The only time I can get away with an 11 is in an athletic shoe. 

 

Lots of websites carry 10 1/2's.  However many manufacturers don't make them.

Please have size 10 and 1/2. Really makes a difference when your size 11 shoes fall off. Can fall and break a hip. Not funny.

Looks like the type size turned out a little too big. Haha

The chart shows that the difference between size 7 and 8 is only 4/16". Between size 10 and 11 is 5/16". People who wear 10-1/2 need their size more than people who wear 7-1/2, according to this chart.
