You can now buy a single sandal or sneaker from Zappos, or even mixed size pairs of running shoes. It's part of a push by the online retailer to cater to shoppers who naturally have different sized feet, as well as those with prosthetics, which can create a need for mixed sized shoes. Initially, Zappos, which is owned by Amazon, will offer the option for six brands – Nike, BILLY Footwear, Converse, PLAE, Stride Rite and New Balance. The shoes will be available beginning Tuesday in all size and widths, from toddler to adult, and they range in price from $17.50 to $85.
Zappos already sells an assortment of shoes for people with disabilities or dexterity issues, with features like zippers around the front or back for easy access to put on or take off the shoes.
