Black Daps/Plimsolls and the nightmare of narrow feet (D fitting)

Does anyone know where I can buy black PE daps/plimsolls for an extremely narrow foot. Clarks only do one for F/G and all the other shops e.g. Marks, George, Next do generic shoes that are so wide and big. My DS tried the ballet style velcro pull across ones in Marks (their narrowest style) and she had 3/4" inch gap at the side of her foot.

Help help help. How can she do P.E. and running if her shoes are flopping about and falling off. She starts in September!!!

Had same problem with DD who is a 9.5E. We tried on loads of daps (or pumps as i need to get used to calling them now i live in Midlands).
Bought her the M&S ones with velcro strap cos they seemed to be the best if strap is pulled really tight. They look really wide but she did pe today and said they were fine and didnt fall off. Plus they are more girly - dont think she was impressed with the normal style. Had thought about buying her some thicker socks for pe or maybe insoles might help.

Ended up with the Clarks ones in a 9F but with insoles and the velcro pulled really tight. The insoles seemed to make a massive difference and they actually looked quite a good fit. ( though cost an outrageous £9)
