I am a 17 year old girl with size 7 EEEEE feet and i am desperate for shoes! I am willing to squeeze into width fitting EEEE as i am used to wearing shoes that are too narrow for me.

I have looked in catalogues on the internet and i have given up on high street shops and i can find no shoes that i like. I think all shoe designers think that people with width EEEEE feet are all about 80 with swollen feet so they only design shoes for them! I know they need shoes too, but so do i! I own 3 pairs of skechers trainers (wider than normal ones) and 4 pairs of flip-flops (and its too blooming cold to wear them for 10 months of the year!). Thats it.

Can any of you suggest any shops/websites/anywhere that is likely to stock shoes for me? My budget is fairly small - i make £120 a month and dont want to spend it all on shoes as im also saving for a holiday!
However, i have a lovely mum who will make a contribution as she is as desperate (maybe even more so!) as me for me to get some nice shoes. But still: keep fairly small budget in mind!!

Thankyou greatly in advance!!

Have you tried Evans?

(I think they have a wider range instore)

Hi ... we're not talking Jimmy Choo here, but there are some good "not-old-lady" shoes in casual styles here: they don't give prices though, which is a tad ominous ... (on the grounds of "if you have to ask you can't afford them" LOL) but then they don't sell direct either - you need to go to their "find a retailer" box.

You might also find something amazing via this link to made-to-measure shoes - I think the price range is very varied - the most expensive is £500 for the last that the shoe's made on; then £300 for each pair you buy - but if you're under 30 it'd be a one-off payment for the last that'd do you another 40+ years maybe ... works out at £12.50p per annum for the last, then say you get 2 pairs a year (we're talking quality here!) that's a further £11.50 weekly for shoes - less than a night in the pub and you get exactly the style, colour & comfort you want... heck I I almost talked myself into another weekly expense, LOL!

Also - try a google.co.uk search, and eBay, using various different key words (e.g 5E OR EEEEE) and don't be afraid to ask retailers in the USA and Australia - both great places to shop online - for shipping costs.

I got several brill AAA for my Mum, from American eBay sellers - made some nice new friends in the process, AND paid on average £8 instead of the £120 she'd have paid for new over here - and the shoes were in excellent almost-new condition.

Good Luck!

Hiya

Have you tried www.duoboots.co.uk they do wide fittings (not sure how wide tho). I have very wide calfs and their boots fit me great.

They haven't got a huge selection but some a cute.

duo now does shoes

I have bought some shoes from duo - they are really cute. The style is called Elkie - here's the link.

Duo seem to have tapped into a real gap in the market - everywhere else I've looked the shoes that fit my feet in wider sizes are ugly 'granny shoes'. Thoroughly recommend.

Oh WOW! I've just been and had a look at the duo site, and it's got fabulous styles, in my width fitting. Thanks soooooooooooo much all of you, for the tip-off!

duo.com are great! I've got all my shoes fom them this year. They are so well made and really stylish yet comfy perfect for gals like me that have got flipper feet.

I got these...

Very stylish!! I love the classic high heeled ones in particular. It's years since I could wear heels without crippling myself - do you think that'd be different with correctly fitted width?
