A podiatrist cannot find size 20, 4E width sneakers for an amputee patient with an enlarged remaining foot, as most stores do not carry such large sizes.

Existing retailers like Hoss offer limited options, and mainstream stores do not stock size 20, 4E shoes, leaving few choices for patients requiring extra-large footwear.
