What has been done in the past to help people who need shoes of different sizes?
There are several organizations that were formed to address the problem. The National Odd Shoe Exchange was formed in 1943 to put people with similar tastes in shoes, but opposite foot sizes, in touch with each other. The mission of the organization expanded as amputees needing only one shoe returned from the war. The organization now ships new shoes to people across the United States and Canada.
