The feet might not change, but shoe sizes are not consistent. Even two shoes of the same make, model, and size can differ. When your feet are very small, the tolerances are also very small.

If your feet stay the same size why don’t you just order online? I know testing them out can be nice, but you can return online orders.
I can’t remember the last time I went shoe shopping in person, because I know my size and which companies I need a larger or smaller size shoe for. Also why would they keep measuring you if you know?

This. My feet are very wide. Every once in a while I’ll find a good fit (usually have to go overly long), and hope that the style is manufactured for more than a year. Otherwise it’s a nightmare finding an actual fit.

You’re right I usually do buy online. I only went in to a fancy running store that just opened up because I do run and was wondering if they had anything other than youth sizes so they had to measure me (and I took this photo because I thought it was hilarious). They did in fact have a better running shoe for me!

Glad you got it worked out, what kind of shoes did you end up buying if you don’t mind me asking?
My brothers feet are massive and he can never find shoes that fit properly. Mine are a bit wide, so I always have to get a size up to be comfortable, but I manage.
