Do you or your teenage daughter have big feet? Where do you buy shoes?

I mean quite a bit bigger than a size 8/EU42.

A friend's teenage daughter is rapidly heading up the foot sizing scale (currently EU45/46) and really struggling to find footwear beyond trainers. They're based in North America but I thought I'd ask for suggestions for teens here in the UK and Europe as they're over fairly regularly.

I have every sympathy for her because I am a UK9/EU43 myself and that's hard enough, especially as my old favourite Clarks have really reduced their options in a 9/43. Like me, she has narrow feet and that narrows (pardon the pun) her options even further.

Any suggestions gratefully received, although it's a bit late for foot binding.

ASOS I think do upto an 11

I like Crisins Shoes (higher quality, more expensive stuff) - some a bit mature looking but there are loads of styles so she should find something. Long Tall Sally do budget shoes and Magnus is in between.

Crispins, it should read

my girls are both 9.5/10 and I am an 11. They live in trainers. I buy in sales from places like Long Tall Sally, Magnus, Cinderella shoes,Crispin, Zalando. The only place I know you can walk into and try a range of larger sizes is Deichmann and they are reasonably priced but not often to quality

LTS have just closed down their shop but Crispins and Magnus are still on Chiltern St in London.

This is great, thank you all. A few I hadn't considered for myself, too!

Zalando.
None of the shoe shops near me go above 42 unless you buy the shoe before they order it in. At least online I can send it back.

I'm a 9. ASOS have lots of styles in my size.

My dd is a 9 and needs orthotic supports. Shoes are a nightmare for her. She wears mainly trainers & sometimes finds 9 in New Look and also sometimes Asda if she gets in quick or orders online but choice is very limited. Up to recently she needed smart shoes for work and as she doesn't do heels she found Clarks school shoes do a 9.
