DD2 has ginormous feet. Always has and am hoping that now she's turning 18, they've stopped growing!

She is currently a UK Size 10.5 - 11

And has her school leavers prom coming up very soon.

She is tall and broad and has settled on the most fabulous jumpsuit. She feels super in it and looks fantastic.

We now have the footwear problem.

Heels / court shoes / flats etc are never going to cut it - this young woman lives in trainers and sliders.

So - slightly dressier trainers are the option here.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Any weddings previously attended have had converse as the footwear so we're not adverse to those again.

Her jumpsuit is black with gold embroidery, if that helps.

Many thanks!

@TheaDecker I'll send her the link thank you - I've had a nosey and trying not to order some for myself lol

@Aparecium completely agree but her usual school footwear is DM Chelsea boots and I think she was wanting something away from that.

I mentioned all black converse and the option to customise / add gold laces etc. That was a thanks but no thanks. I've ordered a pair of flats from Amazon which might do. Otherwise all I can do is present her with the recommended sites and see if something catches her eye.

Thanks everyone - nice to know we're not the only big footers out here!

Good luck to you and your daughter. I am size 9 but very narrow feet. It’s harder than ever to get nice shoes. They have some gold sandals that look good on that site.

Diechmann? They do large sizes. And high street prices, I got a lovely pair of brogues. So good I bought 3 pairs in different colours. Sooo comfortable!

We have a diechman, I have never seen a size above and 8 int he womens section.

the large sizes are in the mens.
Which is an issue because mens styles are different and they are wider cut.

I gte really irritated with DM because they only do all the fun colours up to a womens size 8.

I have always wanted a pair of patent pink DMs or the ones with red roses up the side. Both only in womens sizes.

And the mens shoes are cut differently to the womens, they are wider for the same size.
