My 'pain in the ass to find' thing is shoes
Fucking. Yes. I wear a size 16 wide(U.S.). They're basically like fuckin paddles for navigating bodies of water. Spring or Summer will hit and I'll have the novel idea of getting some new flippie floppies, which never goes that well. Ordering online is about my only option for many types of footwear and even that's a crap shoot sometimes. Sandals are often the worst, because while they're labeled a size 16 or whatever, I've had some that fit like a 13 or 14(eta: read, won't even go on at all or if they do my toes hang over the end like an '80s action movie hero dangling precariously from a ledge).
I feel your pain.
Yeah, my husband is also a size 16 and buying shoes is always a crap shoot. I don't know if you have a Nordstrom Rack near you but he sometimes has luck actually finding stuff in his size there. Which is nice because it's always better to be able to try shit on before buying because, at that size? Things seem to get .. interpretive. Like, one brand's 16 will be WAY TOO SMALL and another brand's 16 will be WAY TOO BIG. It's like they're all throwing their hands up and saying 'WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESIGN SHOES FOR NON-HUMANS BECAUSE CLEARLY NO REAL PERSON HAS FEET THIS BIG'
