Mmmm, I never thought it was that difficult to find a 41 (what you call a 10) in Madrid...

I have a 41 size and it is considered short for men. My friends have 42, 43 or even 44 sizes.

If you have problems go to big stores. And remember that Spain is one of the main shoes producers of the world. Particularly the east coast (Valencia) so that is another place where finding shoes at good price is easy.

Fer- I think the biggest problem with the 10's there is that its a 10 for a WOMAN (which sorry size 10s for a women is a big foot! But with big feet usually comes extra height, so its a tradeoff!)- which in Spain, is hard! I wear an 8 to 8 1/2 and it wasn't until about the last 10 years or so that shoes for my feet became a regular size to find-with variety (granted, I also have wide feet- so that's an issue no matter WHERE I go! :o )

But I have friends with bigger sized feet (women) and they seem to find shoes with no problem- so keep shopping and checking!
