Red ballet flats size 9 needed- help!

Of nude or navy. DD needs them to wear for her graduation in a few weeks but we can't find any that haven't been bedazzled as she puts it. A wide 8 might do too. Thanks.

Evans shoes go up to size 10. She might not want to go into a plus size clothes shop though but their website is pretty good

Whenwillwe3meetagain · 29/06/2014 21:55

New look worth a look- online has best range. Dotty P and next also go up to 9.

Eastpoint · 29/06/2014 21:56

M&S? Not sure what their largest size is but they had ballet pumps on a hanging wall display on Friday night.

Website listing shoe retailers for hard to find sizes (up to 13)

land' send do ballet flats up to a uk9 and bigger! They have these in dark blue (not navy though). Worth searching lands end a bit, they have several styles of ballet flats I cautious colours and they lady for years. White Stuff do a generous 8.

L K Bennett go up to a 42 and do ballet flat styles . Sale on at moment.

BestIsWest · 29/06/2014 22:02

Should have said we've tried Evans, New Look. M&S seemed to only go up to 8. There's a possible pair in Next, thanks. Off to google Dotty P. Thank you for that link east, some good suggestions there.

steppemum · 29/06/2014 22:13

brantano go up to 10, but not much choice

DottyDooRidesAgain · 29/06/2014 22:13

Nude (Top Shop) size 42.

Pinkish Top Shop size 42

BikeRunSki · 29/06/2014 22:15

nude in a proper 9!

OP do your dd's feet translate as 42 or 43? I think of 42 as 8.

Justinepants · 29/06/2014 22:18

See if there is anything here. I have searched for red, blue and beige in 8 and 9. There seem to be a few nice plain red ones but in an 8 not a 9.

Or try Amazon

specialsubject · 29/06/2014 22:22

42 is size 8 on a good day - my size and that is hard enough to find.

don't buy without trying on, shoe sizing in larger sizes is very random. The Top Shop ones will almost certainly be too small.

best of British. She'll need it.

BikeRunSki · 29/06/2014 22:24

this

BikeRunSki · 29/06/2014 22:24

But I trust landsend sizing

tertle · 29/06/2014 22:26

I'm sure French Sole go upto a 9. More colours than you can shake a stick at too!

TheFairyCaravan · 29/06/2014 22:33

Navy at Dorothy Perkins

BikeRunSki · 29/06/2014 23:16

French sole shoes are about £100 though!

tertle · 29/06/2014 23:20

There's a sale on at the moment! And people sell them on eBay. They are expensive but very good quality unlike most ballerinas.

BestIsWest · 30/06/2014 06:03

She's definitely a 43 rather than a 42. Sizing is so inconsistent though isn't it? Although I am generally an 8 myself I sometimes find an 8 too small in Clarks for example. Although last week I tried 3 or 4 pairs in Next and had to buy a 7 as all the 8 s were too big.

I will show her all your suggestions later. Thanks Thanks
