Where to buy large size women's shoes in Australia

Launched in late 2023, Wydr specialises in quality fashionable extra wide flats, heels and boots.

Plus size clothing chain City Chic also does shoes & boots up to size 44 EU or 13 US/AU. They don't mention width, but they stock their sister brands Cloudwalkers (USA) & Evans (UK) which are wide fit only, so I assume City Chic footwear is wider fitting too. 90 stores across Australia if you prefer to shop in person.

Online fashion giant ASOS has a huge range of shoes in size 11 AU. Plus many of their own brand shoes are available in size 12 or 13, with a few styles now going up to 14 and 15 AU too - all at affordable prices. While I found their size 11 AU true to size, I've had some feedback suggesting larger sizes run small, so you may need to size up.

Famous for their sneakers, Skechers also do other casual styles, sandals & boots. Women's shoes go up to 11 au with some in wide fit. Their sneakers are quite unisex, with the men's range going up to a women's size 15 au approx. The Australian site defaults to UK sizing. Sizing varies through the range & their conversions are a bit odd. I'm usually 9 uk/11 au and some skechers 11s (8 uk) fit me but I need a 12 in others. They're the most comfy shoe brand I've ever tried, but the catch is they don't last long for the price. Free returns to stores, but postal returns cost $10.
