      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi &#45; I&#8217;ve just (re)launched www.mybigshoes.co.uk , a site focused on mens and womens big shoes and footwear. It has a range of shoes sizes starting for women from size 9&#45;13 and I think its one of the largest ranges of big shoes you&#8217;ll find (supplied by amazon and selected by me!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any feedback on the site would be very welcome!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;James&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>my innersole &#45; shoes for girls with model&#45;like feet (sizes 8&#45;13 inc school shoes)</title>
      <link>http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/forum/viewthread/47/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We provide fabulous girls shoes in sizes 8&#45;13 in narrower and wider widths &#45; including school shoes.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We love our larger feet and so have designed shoes specially to show them off &#45; with no &#8216;sizing&#45;up&#8217; they fit fantastically and are very flattering. We&#8217;ve started with some flats and heels to follow this Autumn. They’re unique and so you won’t find them anywhere else!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why such low prices?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Our shoes are simpler patterns (intentionally) and delivered in a plain box without any trimmings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Buy online or try on our shoes at Greenwich and Portobello Road markets &#45; see our website for exact dates.&amp;nbsp; We ship to many countries including USA and Canada very soon.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;There is a growing list of shops listed on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prettybigshoes.net/site/links/&quot;&gt;Pretty Big Shoes links page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
If you want your shop listed there, just get in touch. I&#8217;ll be adding a proper searchable shop directory section to the site in due course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other websites linking to shoe shops stocking larger sizes:&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>US website Barefoot Tess</title>
      <link>http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/forum/viewthread/12/</link>
      <guid>http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/forum/viewthread/12/#When:21:17:19Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Barefoot Tess was by far the most frequently mentioned shop by far on the original blog post which sparked this forum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This US website ships worldwide stocks an extensive variety of styles in size 11&#45;15 US (that&#8217;s up to size 13 UK).&lt;br /&gt;
The shoe prices are very reasonable, but international shipping is expensive, and you may be liable for customs charges for large orders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The only caveat is that some report that most styles are more suited to those with average or narrow width feet. However some styles are particularly suitable for those with wide feet e.g. Blowfish styles, Canadian muks boots and colourful wellies. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They often run special offers and discount coupons on the site, so it&#8217;s worth checking the website or the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prettybigshoes.net/site/forum/viewforum/3/&quot;&gt;sales forum&lt;/a&gt; here to keep up to date.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dublin shoe shops stocking larger sizes</title>
      <link>http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/forum/viewthread/6/</link>
      <guid>http://www.prettybigshoes.com/site/forum/viewthread/6/#When:23:46:17Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There is 1 specialist shoe shop in Dublin for larger sizes: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cinderella Shoes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Top floor of St Stephen&#8217;s Green Shopping Centre (same side as Laptop Shop but down the other end)&lt;br /&gt;
Sizes: 8 &#45; 12 UK&lt;br /&gt;
Styles available for both wide and narrow fittings&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cinderellashoes.ie&quot;&gt;cinderellashoes.ie&lt;/a&gt; &#45; you can buy online, worldwide delivery&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comments: Most of the shoes are quite expensive, with casual styles typically 80&#45;100 euro and more dressy styles at around 150. However, there can be great reductions in the sales. &lt;br /&gt;
The casual styles generally cater for an older market or those with more conservative tastes &#45; you won&#8217;t find the equivalent of the latest high street styles. However, there is a wide selection of shoes, which is improving all the time, and this shop offers by far the best selection of large size shoes in Dublin and is well worth a visit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evans&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Branches in Henry Street, Blanchardstown, Liffey Valley&lt;br /&gt;
Sizes: all styles available up to size 10 UK.&lt;br /&gt;
Styles available for wide fittings.&lt;br /&gt;
You can also buy online from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=20554&amp;amp;storeId=12553&amp;amp;categoryId=69588&amp;amp;langId=&#45;1&amp;amp;top=Y&quot;&gt;Evans website&lt;/a&gt;. They deliver to the following countries: United Kingdom, United States and Republic of Ireland, EIRE, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark and Italy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comments: This is the only other store I know of in Dublin where you are guaranteed large size shoes in stock.&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the styles are fashionable and prices are fairly reasonable too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaticPageDisplay?storeId=12553&amp;amp;catalogId=20554&amp;amp;identifier=ev1&quot;&gt;Evans Republic of Ireland Store Locator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;High Street Stores stocking some larger sizes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Barratts&lt;/b&gt; &#45; stock some styles up to a size 10. The chain is in administration and a  large number of stores are due to close shortly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Next&lt;/b&gt; &#45; you can order size 9 shoes in some styles via &lt;a href=&quot;http://nextdirectory.ie/&quot;&gt;http://nextdirectory.ie/&lt;/a&gt; and collect them from certain Next stores. While you pay online when you order, you can try the shoes on in the store and there is no obligation to keep them. You will be refunded there and then if you wish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shoe Zone&lt;/b&gt; &#45; stock some styles in size 9. This chain has branches throughout UK and Ireland. Prices are usually cheap, some styles look it, but others look quite well. Worth a look for everyday shoes. There is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shoezone.net/storefinder.php&quot;&gt;store locator on their website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TK Maxx&lt;/b&gt; &#45; branches in Stephen&#8217;s Green, Blanchardstown and Carrickmines&lt;br /&gt;
Worth a mention for feminine looking runners in larger sizes. It can be hit and miss, so you need to check regularly, but there can often be trainers in pink or other bright colours available for around 20 &#45; 30 euro. Most common brands available are New Balance and Reebok. Many styles may be men&#8217;s styles technically, but don&#8217;t look it, and some are women&#8217;s styles. I bought a pair of size 10 women&#8217;s New Balance pink runners there recently.
