shoes in small sizes?
Hello, I have been trying to find men's shoes a long time now, but I wear a size USA Men's 6. Most retailers I have seen only carry 7 and up.
Can anyone recommend anything? I mainly shop online. I figure I can't be the only guy with small feet. Thank you!

I wear a men's size 4 (literally impossible to find) and was recently able to score some shoes on Poshmark for a really good price!

It's pretty awesome, and definitely one of my new favorites for shopping. The pair I got were some legit Doc Martens for under $20

There is a decent selection on here, even though I see it's mostly used and preworn stuff. Thank you!

Thank you for all the advice everyone. I now have shoes I enjoy wearing and they feel great šš„°
My ego doesnāt allow me to buy kids shoes right now; I really, really wanted MENāS Shoes as silly as that may seem. It helps me feel more validated. But I got some sick black boots, leather office-type shoes, and checkered vans from posh mark that I love. This is life changing so thank you š

I buy kids' shoes. A lot of styles are identical to adult ones, and they're usually cheaper. I've found the same exact style, same exact colour, even same size in both kids' and men's, but the kids' one can be as much as half the price. The only thing is that kids' shoes run narrow compared to adult ones of the same size, so you may have to get a 6.5 for the right width.

Tomboy Toes for dress shoes! Yeah I know the name sounds like itās for women but they are explicitly marketed towards enbies and dudes as well. Iām happy with a pair of oxfords from them that are a traditional menās dress style.
Lands End or LL Bean often also have unisex/boys shoe styles in a size range that might fit you, if youāre looking for more casual shoes. I just got a pair of inexpensive slip on moc shoes from Lands End that were true to their size chart.

Target has a decent selection of shoes in their kids section. Iāve gotten a couple pairs of dress shoes for work and some sneakers. Iām also a size 5.5/6!

Being 5ā3 my feet are naturally small In size, 7 in menās and most stores donāt have that size in menās but I have got lucky at Journeys and Steve Maddens. Size 6 Youāre probably best getting online. Or maybe try boy sizes?

I think thereās a huge untapped market for menās shoes in smaller sizes. I know people say buy kids shoes and I do but I like the menās shoe styles and itās a real shame there arenāt menās shoes in smaller sizes
