Been looking for Ivory Wedding Shoes and it seems the choice is just not out there for us bigger footed ladies, found some plain ones on the Next website but they did excite me at all. I ideally want something sparkly with a high heel. Anyone else struggling to find shoes as well or am I just not looking in the right places??
I am not getting married until April next year but really wanted them to take wedding dress shopping with me, do you think I am worrying too soon and should just take some with me that have the same heel height I am looking for?
CommentAuthormadhen
have you looked online at all? the bay maybe? or just type it into search engine? (sorry if you've already done that and this is a stupid answer!)

Bar ratt s used to do tall and small range - they had loads of lovely larger shoes, they also have a bridal page on their website.
Other options try Evans, I used to sell shoes and I seem to remember advising people to try there if we couldn't help them.
I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do

i've posted a website on ur wall hun x
CommentAuthorMrsC2b
I think I've tried that one, but will check it out again just in case. Thank you
Most of the sites I have found are either too wide, to low heeled or just too plain. maybe I'm just being too fussy.
there is another website called glitzy n glamorous am sure i read on there that you can send in a pair of your shoes and they will decorate them maybes you cud find a plain pair n get them to do that or even better do it yourself cos they r a bit pricey. x
CommentAuthorMrsC2b
I take that back, I completely missed that website! they do have some on there that I quite like and could get sparkles added on to the get the look I want. I have just booked tickets to the National Wedding Show at the NEC in March and am really hoping I may find some there as well
Thanks for your help xx

search long tall sally hun - they do plus size shoes but not necessarily wide. You could also try searching my lovely big feet x

This is great, I knew I could rely on you lovely ladies to help me out, I was sitting here stressing. Had no idea Debenhams did size 9's so will check them out. One problem I have found is that some sites class a 42 as a 9 but in my case these are just to small I am a proper size 9 at a 43 with narrow fit.
CommentAuthorJill
I'm opposite - wide fitting and size 9 and like you find some shops sizes are really neat - infact girls of elegance were the worst and I'd ordered wide fitting too! I got mine from the shoe tailor - flat, sparkley sandals. I'd have loved a proper shoe but happy with the sandals x

Not yet Jill, really cant find much at all, but the clothes shop for larger ladies that rhymes with heavens :) said try in spring and summer when they have more range come in.... but not sure if they'll have what i am wanting. i'm not being picky, just want baby pink with crystals or white with baby pink crystals or white with white crystals lol

Please don't take offence at this (!), but have you had a look at websites specialising in shoes for cross dressers/ transgendered people? Many of them are looking for elegant shoes in large sizes obviously! Have a google or I can ask some people for recommendations next time I go clubbing in G-A-Y :-)

not really sure of your budget but will put some links on your wall
CommentAuthorkrissy905
janie why dont you get some and do the crystals yourself x
CommentAuthorkrissy905
also try viva la diva they have wide fittings and large sizes
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
i read today on this forum, in the swap thread , that someone has a pair size 9 satin wedding shoes. might be worth having a look?
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
Might be worth trying some dance wear shops too as they come in wide range of sizes and width fittings and some with sparkles and some without! Also love Grace's idea of websites specialising in shoes for cross dressers/ transgendered people - never thought of that!
Vegas baby!

I have those size 9 shoes up for swaps... they were too wide fitting for me. I bought them second hand and they have a couple of minor stains on from the previous owner but nothing too bad. They have about a 3 inch heel, slightly pointed toe with a strap across and a pretty sparkly detail on the strap. I was going to do crystals on them myself because i wanted something more special and its not that hard to do for yourself but as they're not the right fit i didn't do it. I hate shoe shopping, most places I try I find that they have size 9s but they're always wide fit and I only need a standard width.

thanks everyone, this thread is going great :)
I have tried viva la diva before, and they make my feet sweat like mad, but for one day they may do. I have decided to try doing some myself if i can find a nice pair wide enough

Ladies just wanted to say I've ordered the flat deb n ham ones with crystal bows and they're great, I love them, they're beautiful! I wanted flats so they're exactly what I was after. Janie maybe worth trying as I normally have EEE fit shoes and these, although a little tight, will be fine once they've been given the wear-in thick sock treatment lol x
