Over silver shoes!

I'm a bridesmaid next month and I need to get a pair. Bride isn't fussy just as long as they are silver.

Should be easy right?!

Well I have wide feet eee wide. I usually get decent shoes from Evans or The Shoe Tailor but neither have anything to suit. I don't want totally strappy shoes, a peep toe would be ideal but every other site that comes up when I look for wide fitting shoes are horrendously gross flat things with Velcro.

New look, next and the likes aren't wide enough.

Shoe paint???

Have you tried M&S or Clarks? I know they both do wide-fitting shoes, but I have no idea if they will have what you want. (They do sometimes both do nice shoes as well as boring middle-aged ones!)

Have you looked at simply be? I have got horribly wide feet and have got a few pairs from there, I got my wedding shoes from Evans!

Next have some nice silver strappy sandally shoes in a wide fit as well as a silver peep toe shoe also in a wide fit. Sorry, don't know how to do links!!

I have some closed toe kitten heel ones in a size 5... If they might fit let me know and I'll send you a photo to see if you like them before popping them in the post.

I am notoriously bad at getting shoes to fit and these were a dream and from new look (although it was a couple of years ago).

Debenhams is probably worth a look, they had loads of wedding/prom styles in silver when I went in looking for bridemaid shoes a couple of months ago, and not very expensive. One of the other bridemaids in our group also has wide feet and often has trouble finding shoes, but I recall she bought one of the pairs she tried in Debenhams.

Y'all amazing! I spent all last night on the shoe tailor site and and only seen those Joanna hope peep toe ones in an e not eee!

Thanks for all the suggestions and the offer of a pair Flowers

My dh refers to my feet as princess Fiona feet which is pretty accurate other than the fact mine aren't green.

I'm much happier in my dm's or birkinrtocks depending on the weather!!

Hope you find some that you are happy with Grin
I have wide feet too and find shoe shopping a nightmare.
