Okay, if you need the widest of wide ballet shoes, just buy them on Amazon.  If you go to a store and order them, it takes weeks, months?  I have had it happen more than once at different bricks-and-mortar stores.  I do believe you should support your local mom and pop ballet stores, especially when they do fittings for pointe shoes, etc., but once I had to wait months and then couldn't get the widest size in.  Then I found Amazon.  When I was in another ballet store, years later, again, I thought it was a fluke about the ballet shoe, so I ordered another slipper, knowing I would be coming back for other things.  Well, it was weeks again.  Well, I told them I needed to know after a week.  Originally they told me no more than 10 days max.  When they finally told me weeks, I cancelled the order immediately, but I guess they didn't cancel it.  Many weeks later they called me with it, but my daughter was in class wearing her new ballet slipper for weeks at this point.  Trust me, just order it on Amazon for difficult to get sizes.  Otherwise, support your local store, even if it is a couple of dollars difference.  Their assistance in everything else, in ordering special things and elbow grease is worth it.  I just can't let weeks or months go by because of the vendors a local store uses.  Years ago, she was barefoot in class, not good...
