laziq Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Hello... I am interested to know where you guys do the shopping. For me it is a problem because I wear women size 13 US (wide) and finding an online shop that carries nice shoes in this size and ships internationally is impossible. Any advice is appreciated....
mtnsofheels Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Hi laziq, I do know one shoe/boot maker who may be able to help. http://www.shoesusa.com/ Builds shoes and boots in large sizes, on the tool bar select button that says large sizes and it will show a selection of shoes and boots they can make. I have purchased 4 pairs of shoes/boots from them and I can say they are built well and fit me. I am a size 10/41 so I did not have go for big sizing but they shipped to me in Canada. It is worth a try! Hope for success! Mtnsofheels
CPB Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 You van also try the following sites www.pierresilber.com , www.funkypair.com & www.howcool.com . I also wear a size 13 US & they do carry on their sires. I have only ordered from Pierre Silber & have found their service to be very efficient.
laziq Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks for the links, but these stores don't have that much to offer once I remove too high heels, those that are more suitable for fetish parties etc.

Are there any "exotic boutiques" close to where you live? Many times the owners of such a place will special order high heels in your size for you that are available.
laziq Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 Sure there are, but I would never wear anything they carry. They are just not my style.
Gudulitooo Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I wear the same size as you. I used to buy a lot on Ebay (I remember a evans boutique) but if you buy second hand shoes, pay attention to clean and disinfect the shoes before to try them on. Also I remember a UK boutique that had nice shoes up to size EU 43 (sometimes sandals fit) that was referenced on hhplace, but couldnt find the link tonight. Also bought from http://www.schuh-kauffmann.de they shipped to my country. But at the time they had limited high heels choice, but an extensive choice of mid heels models. I also found very supportive information on local websites dedicated to tall women (that also have a hard time to find "normal" but attractive shoes in their sizes). I am sure women in your country have similar issues. Good luck.
laziq Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks for the link, it seems that Germans have much better offers. They are a bit pricey, though.
Gudulitooo Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Right this is not affordable. It a sort of a rule : you will not find large sizes in discount stores, only in high quality / high fashion boutiques. In France, I bought at LaRedoute.fr, they have a comprehensive range of styles, colors, and prices. There was also good stuff at Zalando, Amataï and a few small internet webstore. But yes, it's worth waiting for the sales (next month !!, and in january), were you can get -50% or better. Ebay is great for searching : go to the women\shoes section, and just type "13" in the search editor. Unbeatable. Also don't forget to check the other countries sites : ebay.de, ebay.uk, ebay.fr, etc. Hopefully, heeled shoes are still only sold in the women section (!!) that simplifies the searching. In the men section you find terrific mexican cowboy boots with up to 2,5 inch heels. Also, it seems that a lot of black women have big feet and good taste for shoes. So you may find things in small shops around places where black communities live. Good shopping.
