Freak Feet - so p*ssed off

I'm a size 9.

I can't find boots anywhere to fit me that don't cost £££££s.

I buy a pair and they turn out to be not a 9.

God. Can anyone tell me where they are all hiding?

knee length black boots up to 11 £65

BikeRunSki · 13/02/2015 17:37

ankle biker boots, £75

Have you tried Duo? They have a sale on currently.

BikeRunSki · 13/02/2015 19:47

Yes, Duo are good. Their 43 is a proper 9.

Also a size 9 and annoyed at the lack of choice. I find Next can be hit and miss but got a nice pair of boots there this year

Also size 9.
Try clarks, new look, duo boots, hush puppies.

Another size 9 here. If you are near London, go visit Chiltern Street (nr Baker Street tube) as it has a row of shoe shops that only do sizes 7-11 for women. First time I went I bought 3 pairs of boots. Ooops. Handily, there's also a Long Tall Sally if you are similarly proportioned.

Greengardenpixie · 14/02/2015 09:44

viva la diva do a size 9 in some shoes and boots.

WildBillfemale · 14/02/2015 09:52

Also a 'proper' size 9 - 43

Next do loads of proper 9s
Clarks do some 9s not many

Tall girls and LTS are rubbish quality

'After 8's' and Katie long shoes are pricey

Theres a huge gap in the market for really nice well made shoes in large sizes.

mixedpeel · 14/02/2015 12:46

huge gap Grin

BikeRunSki · 14/02/2015 13:29

There was a company called Ambrr and Rose who filled that gap for a few years, but they folded a year or 2 ago. Massive shame, but they weren't cheap. I can understand why they weren't cheap, so must be difficult to keep a business going if your basic product is quite ££.

Next don't do size 9 properly. I've bought 3 pairs of boots there recently. Sent them al back.

I am a 9/43 and the huge range of DMs are fabulous.

winkywinkola · 20/02/2015 12:24

Do you not find DMs just make your feet look really big and clumpy? If you had dinky size 5 hooves, they would look cute but on a size 9?
