From: Kazzy on 15 Sep 2005 15:07 Hi friends, Anyone on the group know where I can get size 13 extra wide mens shoes from in Manchester or Tameside please? I've been in so many shops and been told so many times that they only stock up to size 11 or 12, my little leggies are falling off!!! Hope some kind soul can point me in the right direction :) Karen Type2, tablets and diet, extra cuddly size, high blood pressure, needs cheering up a bit :)

I find that shops that sell more than just shoes are usually the only places to go, department stores and the like. M&S and the Co-Op can be pretty good for the unpopular sizes. You might like to look at buying shoes from a specialist shop on the internet. Of course once you find a pair that fit buy at least two (pairs) so you won't be caught short again. Several of my friends who have the extra stability that wider feet allow swear by the Doc Martens brand. Finding a pair of shoes that fit regardless of style can be a nightmare sometimes. Bastian.

I wish the NHS still did diabetic shoes through the podiatry guys :( All the best, Karen in Droylsden

my podiatrist recommended Ecco shoes for diabetic feet and wide fittings. Several shops in the Trafford Centre sell them. |
