I also have really skinny ankles which might sound good but they actually make my feet look even bigger by contrast! Since having two children my feet are even more unsightly (see here). Oh the shame.
Buying shoes has always been a problem for me, I find it a singular activity, a sort of conspiracy between me and the sales assistant. They take one look at my feet and instinctively know that I want to be left alone to shoehorn the tiny dainty shoe on my feet without spectators. In the end I usually end up going to Next or M&S and looking in their old lady extra wide range.
I've googled this extensively and the only online shop I can see is http://www.duoboots.com/ who specialise in wide fitting shoes and even show you how to measure your canoes on their website.
What I'm generally looking for in a summer shoe is something open toe (to prevent rubbing) with a slight heel and a structured look, nothing floppy. However if the shoe is too inflexible that also makes them uncomfortable. It also has to be something I can run in (not for fun, to catch suicidal lemming toddlers).
So I've had a look at Duo who currently have a sale on which makes their shoes very reasonably priced.
My two favourites are the Delta and the Leila shoe. I'm not saying they are really glamourous but they are definitely something I could wear every day. The Delta is now £50 and the Leila is now £45.

Although I do love Duo shoes and will be ordering some, this is in fact a sponsored post.
I was a 4 but now 4.5 fits better since having last child, think our feet grow in pregnancy! The thing about having an average size of feet is that shoes go fast and sometimes difficult to get the size in the style I want. I wear everything from high to low, boots to stilletto's. ♥♥♥ shoes (still have all mine from my 20's, keeping them for TC!)
ReplyDeleteI would do anything to have a dainty size 4 1/2! Most of my friends are a 6/7 and they do comment that their size sells out fast. Thing is with my size feet there are often no sizes to begin with! It's getting better though, slowly.
DeleteI'm a 7 although crept to an 8 now pregnant. So am I in the big feet club?

Thanks, a few of these I've never heard of so will go over to take a look. Winter is fine as I can wear boots which strangely seem to fit ok, it's other types of shoes I have problems with.
