This is a normal post What a shame they don't do my size.
Also they're not shoes.

This is a normal post I actually tried to go shoe (boot) shopping on the weekend
the 1st 4 shoe shops I tried literally didn't sell shoes, just flipflops and plimsoles. Of the 2 shops I found that sell actual shoes, I saw thousands of choices for women, and about 12 choices for men. The camping shop only goes up to size13. Shoezone only go up to size 13. Nobody sells shoes my size any more. Online shoes all lie about their dimensions, they are all smaller than advertised.

Society is telling me to go barefoot.

Expensive as well as frustrating I imagine.
A quick search reveals a shop (Big shoe direct) selling up to size 18, bloody hell. No idea feet could be that big!

This is a normal post I can get a size 13 steel toe capped boot that fits like a glove, except for my toes (which, like most humans, are not shoe-shaped).
Might just have to convert them to sandals.

It's weird, I used to be size 11-12 in shoes, 12-13 in boots, now nothing smaller than a 14 is worth trying on and I'm sure I don't have acromegaly.

This is a normal post Frequently find that going a half-size or even full size up is necessary.
I've also found that when helping someone else shop, the UK sizes can be unreliable and I suspect that's down to the shoes being manufactured to Euro sizes then converted to UK sizes online.

This is a normal post Could be widening of feet over time, I went from 9 to 10.5.
A little like people becoming shorter with age. Clark's do wider fittings, not sure about size 13 though.

Boot based sandals is different; why not go all the way with replacement boot soles and some leather scraps, military flip-flops.
