22. If you know anyone who has slightly different sized feet
There is a website to find mismatched shoe sizes. A couple of decades ago my mom's cousin got hammertoes and had surgery on one foot because that foot was 1/2 size smaller so she clenched her toes to hold the too-big shoe on her foot. Someone told her about a service like this, but this internet version would make it more efficient. The guy on the video says Nordstrom offers this service, too.

It is odd that women who wear suits to work can't buy them measured to fit, the same way men do!
