Heels for wide feet

5 replies

toboldlygo · 17/01/2012 19:36

My feet are completely flat and as a consequence very wide. Are there any heels out there that won't render me crippled within half an hour due to total lack of circulation to my littlest toes? Blush

Googling 'wide high heels' resulted in a lot of sites aimed at transgendered people/crossdressing etc. which I could live with if the styles weren't all so horrid. I only want a nice colourful high-ish pair for going out and a plain nude-y coloured court shoe, not stripper/tart/pointy/stiletto/glittery.

Any ideas?

Next, M&S, Evans, New Look all do wide fit shoes. Its probably a case of go and try them on to see if they are comfortable.

Problem is that most of them don't have them in store or only a very limited range - New Look seemed promising online but only had a handful of styles in store, all of them fugly. Same for M&S and Evans, very limited in store and nothing you'd want to wear for a night out (I'm in my early 20s, not ready for Per Una style yet).

There is a promising looking pair by Next (no idea they did wide fit, thank you) but unless I'm being dim there's no way to order online without opening a credit account. Can you order stuff into the store to collect without having to open an account?

I have wide feet and, at this very moment am wearing a pair of these in a fetching green. They are basically made of a strong elastic so accommodate your foot shap in all it's glories.

I think you can pay Next direct now. A great tip with Next shoes is to look on ebay - I've had loads of shoes that were worn once from there inc my fave nude peeptoe heels.
VivalaDiva do loads of wide shoes.
Alas, you do have to order and live with the thought of sending them back if you don't like them

I have feet like that! I don't often wear heels because of the foot issue, but I'm tall and can get away with that.
