    So I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole of falling in love with the design of oxford mens shoes, unfortunately more specifically a shoe that doesn't exist in sizes smaller than 5.5 nor a style available in any boys design.

    I'm a size 4.5 mens, 5.5 womens, 36EU. I want a good quality narrower/rounded/pointed shoe but they dont make any of those in the boys section I like. I have a pair now, but they are boxy and very child like.

    Anyone else have this issue? If so where have you found success with sharp looking dress shoes? Thanks

    ...women's oxford shoes. Although... men's shoes ought to be on the bigger side. I had a difficulty with that myself but the shoe has to be big. Loose fitting. Not sure if that's your issue though, because I fit the bottom of regular men's sizing.

    I had this problem with mens shoes
    i'm a smaller size and they are more often then not out of my size.

    Custom made? I know, it's quite expensive, but it'd be my first idea.

    I know those feels but on the other side of the size scale.
