Title: Where to find shoes for those people with big feet and empty wallets?
Post by: jacqueline_rose on November 14, 2012, 07:40:52 PM
Due to my size I stand out enough, but one of my biggest problems everyday (since I have already started going out daily) is that I have to trod around in my sneakers. in mens I am a 13 wide, but I cant for the life of me find anywhere that carries a womens shoe beyond the size of 11. I have found a few sites online but the cheapest started at $105! Im a student and currently unemployed so my wallet is incredibly limited. But even if i found something (boots preferably) for $50 I might be able to swing it. I was hoping that some of you lovely ladies might be able to give me a few hints about where you get your shoes. Thank you so much in advance!

Have you tried Zappos? They carry larger sizes. Hugs, Devlyn

I've had really good luck on eBay. Sometimes I'm a 13 sometimes a 13W. It takes a bit of patience but there are great and cute and cheap high quality shoes on there. My strategy is to have a saved search set up for 13 with a low to flat heel under 30 dollars. I regularly check for newly listed shoes.
Good luck, and hopefully were not bidding on the same pair ever! :)

Might also try shoes.com, shoebuy.com, shoemall.com  :)  This handy dandy size conversion chart can be a big help as well

Brick and mortar -
Payless has up to size 13 woman, call the store before going as some only carry to size 12.
Nordstrom Rack same situation.

Internet -
Barefoottess.com has large selection of styles up to size 15 woman.
