Where can I get wide fitting plimsolls?

[Easy]

Ds has extra wide feet partly due to an extra bone in his feet (luck boy, born with spare parts. extra fingers and toes too).

Anyway, I'm resigned that soon I'm going to have to get shoes made for him, but what about plimsolls for school?

Currently he wears shoes size 11 or 12, H fitting. But plimsoll don't seem to be wide enough, and most trainers only go up to a G.

Please help, they sent his last pair home last week, as he can't wear them anymore.

clarkes?

Clarkes don't. I have looked and never found them in variable widths anywhere. Velcro ones are slightly more forgiving of wide feet than elastic ones, though (Woolworths).
Sorry this isn't much help.

would the school allow you to send him in trainers rather than plimsolls?

Try phoning around independent shoe shops. I remember seeing some for £10 and they were supposed to be wider than average.

They do allow trainers, but we're getting the same problem with those, not available in the widest fittings.
And of course trainers cost £28-30, while most people buy plimsolls from woolies for a fiver

I have also e-mailed clarks, who confirm that they don't supply doodles or plimsolls in H fittings.

I'll get the yellow pages out soon, and start ringing round. I don't think there are many independent shoe shops left tho'

don't go for sartrite-very narrow.
