Urgently need shoes by next day delivery

M&S have royally fucked up. Tried a pair of shoes on in store. Perfect fit but didn't have the colour. Ordered on line and they arrived but I didn't check order. My bad. They are 2 different sizes!
Needed for wedding in Saturday, but travelling Friday. I'm mother of the groom. 🥴.
Urgently need a pair of size 6, or possibly 5, if generous, of totally flat shoes suitable for narrow feet with enough support for bad knees in royal blue. Any one knows or suggest where I can get some ordered from. Live in sticks. 😔 TIA

Next or asos are usually pretty reliable.

Could you have a look on the M and S website and see which is the nearest store to you which has the size and colour you need in stock?

Nothing in blue flat in either ASOS or next. MandS have no facility to search stores or even ring a store. Thank you. Tried Jones the boot maker and Clarks too. 😭

Have you tried Amazon?
Also, if you're travelling on Friday, is there anywhere en route you can stop off? Could order something to be delivered to a store?

SwedishEdith · 23/07/2025 14:03

John Lewis usually have next day pick up. Can collect from Waitrose as well as JL. May need to order before noon though.

Where are you traveling from? If you are passing through a city you can check stock/ order for collection

TryingAgain7651 · 23/07/2025 14:07

I was going to say Next too...or store pick up near the event?

Shoezone possibly?

Coffeeishot · 23/07/2025 14:10

Where are you travelling too roughly obviously? There might be somewhere you can pick a pair up you could chance Amazon but i think your best bet is physically going to a shop. Even cheaper shops like new look or primark might have something. Or are you near a Pavers?

Actually, in your position I would phone M&S and explain what's happened, if they have them in stock they should send them next day delivery for you, it's their error! Then you get the ones you know work

Thank you all. Lots of pointers. What a muddle. Will order a few and take a drive to street Clarks outlet I think. I'm unlikely to have time to shop Friday as travelling from South Wiltshire up to Staffordshire. I have the most awkward shape feet, hence why I own no shoes other than trainers, brogues and a single pair of fisherman's sandals. 🤣

Tried this (actually twice as thought a different person may have different outcome) and they say it's impossible. 🤬

Street is a 3 hour round trip 🤬

Can you try a coordinating colour to increase options? Silver or gold maybe?

DeirdreChambersWhatACoincidence · 23/07/2025 14:32

Shoezone, they definitely do next day delivery, I've used them.

Coffeeishot · 23/07/2025 14:34

What a nighmare i hope you find something .

Newnameformenow · 24/07/2025 16:36

Did you manage to get anything? Enjoy the wedding!!

i know it’s a bit out of the way on the way up. But could you stop off at Cribbs causeway near Bristol on the M5 on the way up?

You're right, I had a massive row with them about this last year and phoned several times thinking that I had been given wrong advice

No they dont order in store, from different stores or tell you what they have instores.

Unbelievable.
