Sorry, we’re all out of that shoe in that size. The closest we have is a woman’s size 12. ---

I suppose we could work out some kind of cross-referenced numbering system between them, yes. ---

Or we could start a third thread, but we’d run the risk of draining the existing threads. ---

I’m sure we could find some solution that would avoid that outcome, though it would indeed be difficult. ---

We could always number each post, to refer to the corresponding number in the other thread. ---
