Shoes don't need to be in different sizes. They just need some kind of adjustable bladder inside (like a self-inflating air mattress) that fills in around your foot. They would come with a remote control so you could make tiny adjustments to the fit.

       MrThingy, go get a pair of Giant BasketBall Player sized shoes, stick enough socks in around your feet so that your little tootsies feel snug, and then try to walk.   

       OK, now get up off the floor. See, those extra 6 inches of toe weren't such a good idea, were they? Plus, you kind of look like a funny clown.

       andreamer: One could easily get used to walking in them. It would just take a little practice.

       But they wpo;d have tp be the size of the largest foot in the world to fit "all". I'm a size 14 which would look a little silly on the more petite members of society.

       I think I saw this idea in Back to the Future. It seemed to work for Michele J. Fox. Speaking of Christopher Lloyd...

       I dint like the orogianl idea as much, but how about: A genetically engineered plant that feels like and has shape of shoes, but grows along with you?

       I saw some of Michele J Fox's films and it seems she too has an inflatable bladder.

       Hmmm... we could get rid of the great disparity between rich and poor... City shoe racks! Sort of like the yellow bikes, but perhaps with an attendant to keep them sprayed 'fresh'.... yeh... ucky!
