Walmart, USA
Walmart's own brands do budget size 11s, with some available in-store. They also do loads more shoes online with options for narrow to wide and popular brands up to size 12 or 13 including Journee, Naturalizer, Bearpaw & Comfortview. The problem is finding the large sizes, because their website filters suck! Searching by brand and then filtering by style works best. The size filter often excludes sizes 11-13 even though they're there so here are direct links: size 11, size 12 & size 13. Unfortunately these results tend to include some shoes not in big sizes - it's a mess! BUT if you're prepared to dig around, you could get a great deal. TIP: they list last sizes individually with big reductions. USA only.

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.
