Get on the style and beauty board. Everyone is friendly and they will sort you out X

Didn't want to read and run, but you might be better off posting this in the Style and Beauty board OP. Always good advice there!

Do you have a shop that you can walk into and say “dress me”. It may cost more but chances are they’ll do right by you.

Sorry not much help but Next do wide and extra wide shoes. I have super thick ankles and it is one of the few places I have been able to get suitable and comfortable appropriate shoes for similar occasions.
