BFA - Big Foot's Anonymous :)

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I know there are other BB'ers out there with big feet, i know there was a thread about it previously but i can't seem to find it.

So who is joining me here at BFA?

My Name is ~ Zarava Flutterby ~ and i have big feet... size 11-12 (more 12 ).

I used to be able to get away with a size 11 runner but lately i can't, have been trying on pair after pair to no avail.
I'm lucky to find an 11 and no-one stocks 12's around here

Have a friend who might be able to get me some size 12's but it's hard without trying them on... so who's with me.. and what are a list of comfortable, decently priced perfectly sized shoes?

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Not really anon. in here, are we? I'm a UK 9, which is usually a European 43 and possibly an Aussie 10. I was a UK10 pre-op, now I'm a 9.

I must confess, I have two places where I can get shoes. One shop whose size 8s are ridiculously generous and one high-street shop's on-line ordering. They usually fit pretty well, so I'm fortunate.

Growing up, I got "have you seen our men's selection?" a lot. Last time it happened was in my parents' local town and DH bodily removed me from the store before I hurt someone. Men's shoes and high heels from age 7 is what caused all the damage to my feet in the first place!

We are still kind of anonymous.. using usernames and all
I get the mens comments, but would you believe i asked for mens 10's the other day and they had NONE.. WTF are you serious, no womens 12's and no mens 10's for me either

I'm a little big foot - I have 9.5's to 10s BUT I had a mutant big toe which is a whole cm longer than the next toe, so I'm in a world of shoe pain. Plus I have hairy feet so I think that deserves a special membership category in BFAs.

I thought taking tweezers to the feet and hands were normal MD, so don't worry.

ZF, this is why I have just one large box of shoes at home. I find so few I like in my size that don't hurt my feet. Now I have to find a pair for my sister's wedding as I have no sandals and my two pairs of ballarina-style shoes don't suit the dress.

Hmm membership could be funky shoelaces... but then we'd need to find big enough shoes to put them in

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Bootlaces, my dear, bootlaces. As if my shoes are small enough for regular shoelaces!

[RhiChiChi]

How tall are you all though? I am just over 5ft and have a ladies size eight & wide, so rarely do I find shows that fit comfortably... If you are tall, I can understand having longer feet

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I am 5'11" which does explain why i have such large feet but doesn't explain why i can't find shoes
I honestly have mens feet, long and wide

[Ree*Ree]

Hi, my name's Ree*Ree and I hover between a wide ladies 9 and 10. I am also cursed with a bit of a bunion.
I am a bit of a clutz with my feet, always knocking them into things!
Oh, and I am in no way tall! I think I'm 156cm?

[Cranky Kitten]

Me too me too me too!!!!

I'm 5ft 11in and wear a ladies size 12. Which is darn near impossible to get in Perth with the exception of one completely AWESOME shop called Benelli Shoes. They do sizes 3-13 and even do custom fits. Oh and for BFA's not in Perth - they do mail order.

It has been getting better, with a few companies like Diana Ferrari starting to stock 12's now, but you have to get in quick before they sell out.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I've only just realized for years I've been squashing into 11s when I should have been going for 12s.
Walking us so bad in dodgy shoes, the 11s rub and I just don't notice, no wonder I have sore feet

Add mee too please!
Im am a size 12 and living 2 hours away from perth means even if ihad alot of money to spend on shoes, i wouldnt be buying any without a road trip... it sucks really bad!

[YoYo]

Ok so I'm only a size 8 but my feet are so wide I can't fit size 8! Can I get an award, or should I be in wide foot anonymous!

I'm 6ft & i'm a size 9 so i guess i don't really have big feet considering how tall i am.
My Mum was 5'2 & had to wear size 10-11.
DD1 is also going to have big feet.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

YAY.. woo hoo for not being alone.

I often wonder about my girls, they are both quite petite and their feet look biggish but i think they are average for their ages.
I was actually quite short with smallish feet until year 11, my cousin jinxed me and said i would never have to worry about buying shoes and now i have just as much trouble as she does.

So where do you lovely ladies find your shoes?

[Khaleesi]

My girls are nothing a like.
DD1 is really tall for her age with wide feet, so we often need to go to a shoe shop & get her fitted properly.
DD2 is average height & has tiny feet & with have no trouble buying shoes anywhere for her.

As for me, i can buy my shoes anywhere as well but my Mum always needed to go to a shoe shop to buy shoes.
She had really flat feet which didn't help when buying shoes.

[Samcougar]

Oh please add me I have size 10 feet and it's so hard to find shoes that fit and are comfortable. I guess being 6'1" dosn't help either, I look like a giraffe in high heels Which really sucks. Oh to be able to wear heels
