Piggy-back question -- shoe stores?

Thread Starter  

Big footed women!

I just replied to a post about shoe size that reminded me -- I'd been wanting to post about shoe stores.

I'm a big footed (and big everything else, except boobs :( ) woman. I need more shoes! Where can you find large sizes and wide widths at, and still have them look decent? Doesn't need to be cheap, just cute & good quality.

I know Payless carries larger sizes but I'm not a Payless fan. :(

I've bought some pairs through Cloudwalkers at Avenue but a lot of it isn't really that great -- they'll have really cute shoes with super ugly soles, or cute shoes that only come in fuschia and lime, or cute shoes that are all... bedazzled. Not for me.

I need business & casual!

I dont have a big foot, but mine are wide. I like some of the shoes Silhouettes carries and most come in wide and extra wide. I cant think of anywhere else offhand.

look at zappos.com or shoebuy.com. They have TONS to chose from

OMG,,, I love Zappos! Told you I was drawing a blank. I always look for shoes online because I need a 7W but am more comfortable in WW widths. I really have Barney Rubble feet! Good luck on your shoe shopping! BTW Wheetsin, have you noticed your shoes fitting looser? I swear my feet have shrunk.

Wheetsin - I am also a big footed woman who didn't get boobs either = ((
I LOVE Dansko shoes! They have a wider 'toe box' than most - so I didn't need to buy the wide width (for the first time ever)
I bought them on Ebay, but they're also available at Zappos.com. They are very comfy!!

I've never even heard of those places -- that's the kind of stuff I need!

No, my shoes still fit. But past weightloss experiences tell me that within the next 30 - 40 lbs I'll need to get rid of the wide, or when i stand the sides of my shoes will be gaping away from my foot.

you said they didn't need to be cheap, so head over to Nordies! I tell ya, they have a great shoe selection in just about everysize! And they can bring in your size if they are not carrying it at that moment. and the great thing about them...if you wear the shoe and it just doesn't fit well enough, you can bring them back with no hassles!!

I feel I can contribute even though I have small feet.....size 7W.....kind of small anyway. The only shoes I wear are Easy Spirits. They offer casual to dressy in all sizes, including 11's and 12's. I don't have a store near me since we moved to IN so I use www.easyspirit.com or E-Bay since I know my size.

~Good Luck~

there is a great local store here in reno NV called IF THE SHOE FITS they specialize in wide and oversized shoes.... thier number is 1-775-825-7576

then there is another one in town called A PROPER FIT FOOTWARE also in reno they claim to have sizes 4-20 AAA-8E they have a lot of brand names to choose from and they also say to have diabetic and arthritic footware. thier number is 775-323-3757.
Good Luck in all your choices...

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

There's a place called DSW Warehouse that has big sizes. A co-worker (man) has HUGE feet, size 16 and he can get shoes there.

http://www.dswshoe.com/

I'm 5'10" and have smaller feet 7.5 but WIDE. If I can't get a shoe in my width I go to the next size up 8, and get that. It sucks but watcha gonna do.

Really?! Never would have thought to look there. I was there just last weekend shopping with mom (I bought the DKNY "Be Delicious" perfume - it's great if you like non-flowery scents!). We passed shoes and I was tellig her, "Oh those are so cute! And those! And those! But they'll never come in my size..."

I'll travel for good shoes, but Reno may be a bit far -- though who knows when I'll go where for work, so I've written down the names & numbers... also going to look for a website.

We have DSW here, I've looked before but only saw 10 & smaller... I will check again!

I checked out Zappos and found a few, and found a few more at Roaman's... going to order today. :)

OK Nordies must be Nordstroms...right.... I wear a 13W:drama:

Yep! I'm surprised how few Nordstrom's there are in my area, Dillard's or Jones (didn't have either in CA but we had Nordie's) seems to be the more popular choices here.

Nordstroms... I have a fabulous friend who is 6'3" and wheres a 12.5 narrow.
