Struggling to find large size shoes for girls that wears a UK 9.5! EU 43/44

[LoftyLittleVanB]

Hi, I am a mum and my 13 years old girl wears a UK 9.5 which is an EU 43 44. Do you face the same problem? For us it started when she was 9, there was very limited options. Maybe 1 pair per season! Mostly Clarks in wide width H as she has high instep. People spoke to me about Next but again, there wasn't age appropriate styles. Now she wears mostly trainers. Sandals or flip flops are mostly found in the men section. Luckily most teens love unisex so we always have Birkenstock... Not that pretty I think with a dress or practical for school! Where do you go?

They are expensive, but maybe for special occasions: https://crispinsshoes.com/

I find Cinderella shoes quite useful. You do need to check UK sizes advertised against the EU sizes as they don’t always match up. I’m also a size 9 to 9.5

Ok so I have no idea what a 13 year old would think is cool but I have the same size feet and I live in Superga in the summer, DMs in the winter.
Long Tall Sally are another brand that have larger shoes, I was going to say Next as well. Asos do but they're not great quality usually.

Yes i ve been to crispins but styles are mostly for women. Cool for teens means what their friends wear i think! Most of the time! Thank you!

You have my sympathies. It's difficult.

Air and Grace go up to a 10 but I doubt there's anything that a 13yo would like. Plus they are v expensive.

There's also Magnus who specialize in large ladies shoes. Not as expensive as Crispins but firmly aimed at the mature woman.

Evans go up to size 13 and have lots at size 9.

I had Clakes H for school shoes and then went to DMs (back in the 90s) and shoes and clothes were tiny then so I need to go to Evan’s for most shoes and boots

whilst most of them won’t be teen approved there are loafers for school and boots for winter and smart shoes for occasions as a not bad price

they tend to run wide and long so try a size 9 as the ones I checked for you were in a 9.5.

Not teen-specific but, Long Tall Sally is cheaper than some of the other options and she might find one or two things she likes: https://www.longtallsally.com/shoes/c
Next online have a few styles in a 44 too.

Deichmann? I’m a 9 and get most of mine from there.
