Please find me shoes for my terrible feet!

I have wide feet with bunions and I live in trainers or Doc Martin boots. I also have some Birkenstock style sandals for when it's really hot (because all of these accommodate by minging feet).

I need some flat and comfy nice shoes to wear with dresses for 2 barmitzvas I am going to this summer. I will probably be wearing a black dress- possibly a red one but not decided yet.

I have some lovely shoes with block heels but they kill my feet after about 10 mins of dancing.

I like the attached style but I have tried on several pairs like this and even the wide ones don't fit my clodhoppers!

Can anyone help please.

I find that Fitflop Rally leather trainers are really wide. Also suede rather than leather tends to have more give and I try and find trendy velcro shoes (oxymoron I know!).

SAS shoes are the very best for miserable feet, but sadly, they aren’t what I’d call attractive.
They’re on Amazon if you want to take a look, @Bigminnie1. They’re super amazingly comfortable, but they lack that young and sophisticated look you’re seeking.
Maybe you could look into them for your every day wardrobe. They really are great for troubled feet.
I apologize for not being more helpful.

Are those the dune sandals? I have them and they look nice but not too comfortable.

I also came to suggest Calla shoes-I follow them on Instagram and the videos of how they look on are amazing. I’ve never actually tried them myself yet

Hotter shoes are a good brand for wide feet and have branches in some High Streets too. just had a look at their ‘Occasion wear’ and nothing looks suitable for a party, but might be a good resource if you need any other type of shoe. Went in to the Bromley branch at the weekend and the staff are lovely.

The ones I posted at the beginning? They were ASOS - very similar to the Dune ones . They would've been comfy I think- if they fitted!
All the New Look ones arrived- no joy...
Onto the more expensive ones now!

Have you tried this company? They specialise in bunion shoes (also supply famous people!)

Was hoping to be able to get away with spending a bit less... don't mind spending that for eg trainers but wanted to spend a bit less for shoes I will wear a few times a year... I think I might have to though to get something...

I posted about Anna Field wide fit earlier on the thread. I bought some nice wedding shoes for £27.99. I have some leather Gabor shoes for work, but wouldn't pay calla/sole bliss prices for shoes I'll probably only wear once.

@CostOfSieving @FarmGirl78 just wanted to say thank you for the Calla recommendation. I don’t have bunions but do have wide feet and need extra room in the toe area than most shoes provide. I’ve been looking everywhere for fisherman sandals that look decent and fit. Ordered the ones from Calla - they arrived today and they are fantastic! Very, very comfortable while exactly the look I was after. So thank you.

If anyone else in interested in Calla shoes you can email them saying "I have 7 toes, bunions, half a heel and extra wide feet, one of which is one backwards" and they'll suggest the most suitable shoe they do. Up to a point!

I learned awhile back that I need to spend more on soft leather footwear. I tend to wear suede boots as they have more give. I wear Hotter Rally trainers as they are very wide. Sandals I wear Waldlaufer. There’s loads on eBay especially if you are a 4.5.
