At wits end over lack of large shoe sizes !

[Thequeenisdeadboys]

My 17 year old DS is a size 14/15 shoe size. The trouble I'm having trying to get a pair online is unbelievable. Shops not worth checking as never have anything over a 13. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of where I can get a pair of decent large shoes or trainers. ps. He likes Merrell or Mustang types but anything will do. Aaaarrrggghhh !

I should have added Its a boring post alert...but thanks in advance for any help.

I used to date a guy with size 16 feet!! I believe he bought his shoes from High and Mighty - a shop for tall or large men. I think they have an online store, too

Apparently there is a shop in Chichester. And one somewhere in North London???

Well, just this morning, I was buying netball trainers and I noticed, for the first time, the very skewed size spectrum offered. They went from size 5 to size 11. I don’t think I’d ever seen female shoes that large before, then remembered that netballers are likely to rather taller than average not me, I’m a midcourt dynamo

So, have you looked at stuff made for basketballs?

Although perhaps better to look for stuff made for basketballers, otherwise you enter Tom Hanks/Wiiiiillllson territory.

Magnus is in north London & website - is good for larger sizes, not sure how large they go for men's. There is a shop in Windsor bigfootshoes.co.uk

Have you tried Jacamo? DH is 6'5" and size 13 shoe, he buys a lot from there (clothes and shoes)

My son has 13/14 feet and he reckons German/ Dutch/ American eBay and websites are the places to look.

Jacamo have quite a good range. My nephew (6'8 and a size 14 shoe) buys his from there

My SIL has size 9 feet so has the female equivalent problem. Long Tall Sally shoes are so dull. Any suggestions for women too? My brother used to date a woman with size 11 feet. I have no clue where her shoes cane from. I'm betting high and mighty is quite dull too.

My 17 year old as size 15 feet...i feel your pain. We find a website called walktall vry good. Vans also go up to a 15 in some styles. If you have a slater menswear they have a big feet section too.

Thankyou all. I'm checking all this out now. Fingers crossed.

Sorry to hijack, I opened the thread thinking it might be about shoes for women.

I have size 9 feet. I get them from new look and now primark do a few large sizes. Also that new shop diechten (or something like that) do a few ranges in large sizes. Simply be too. My feet are also wide. I do not have an extensive shoe collection. It's just not a joy, as the styles seem to go granny style for large feet. I'm lucky to find anything I like!
Sorry to hijack thread. Good luck in finding shoes. My 11yr ds has size 8s. I can see this being a problem too!

Try m and m direct, they have a lot of large sized trainers and at decent prices too

Brontano used to do a few, haven't been for years as son is old enough to buy his own shoes now.

Thankyou. Just managed to to find a new pair on american ebay. I'm still looking though.. thanks again all.

Sheesh, DS1 (15yo) is size 13 and I thought that was bad enough!

Reading this thread with interest for his dainty feet

For women, New Look do a good range. www.newlook.com/uk/womens/footwear/shoes/size-9-shoes/c/uk-womens-footwear-shoes-size-9

Men - Jacamo and Walk Tall.

Oh gosh, I feel for you. DH is a size 12, and I am constantly tripping over his boots. Can't imagine how huge a size 14 would be!

I’ve bought some things from here as gifts. Excellent quality and customer service.

Definitely Magnus. High and Mighty clothing might too or at least point you in the right direction.

I would import from the USA.

Shake Magnus, After Eight, Lands End (beware US sizes). I’m a 9, and find White Stuff 8s to be very generous.

Sports direct (If you can get over the ethics issues) do an range up to a 16 including merrell walking boots
