    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    i wore thongs to my year 12 formal
    I hate heels so i'm lucky, but that might be attributed to the fact i'm so tall already AND it was hard to find them in my size

    I'll join too! I'm size 10 and have been since my early teens- very hard to get shoes in those days and spent most of my life with blisters from shoes rubbing.
    Us big foots are lucky there is more options now, shame it still seems hard to get a wide variety.

    I was so lucky the other day went to the colorado closing down sale and there was a pair of size 12 shoes, down from $109 to $40 something, snapped them up in a second and so comfy but now colorado are gone

    The one thing I hate about most places that stock larger sizes is that the majority are such frumpy old nanna styles! I'm sorry, I'm only just 30 and still like my cute little strappy sandals and knee high boots, those staid old "court shoes" are just not going to cut it anywhere except work - and maybe not even then!

    I'm a 10 but I don't really have trouble getting shoes

    I find some of wittners flats to be awesome! Nice and wide as well, some styles even go to an 11.

    Duo boots are good as well, they do shoes for both narrow and wide feet and large. But you have to order from the UK and aren't really that cheap.

    My name is Donna and I have big feet... the last time I went shoe shopping was six months ago and I nearly decked the store person because he told me he didnt have what I wanted in my size and I would have trouble finding shoes in my size. Dude I am 34 years old and have had feet this big since high school. Tell me something I dont know
    Before DD I was a size 10 with wide feet but now I hover between a 10 and 11.

    10-11 ladies WIDE.
    My Sister is a 12-13 and struggles big time. An old friend onf mine ( 6ft 5 bloke) had size 17 feet and had to get his shoes made!!

    I pretty much only wear thongs, strappy shoes and runners because my feet are so wide

    I guess i should try to embrace my height more & start to focus on the positives not the negatives.
    You ladies are right there are some great things about being tall.

    Another big foot here. Wide, flat and Size 11. I must say I LOVE my feet. I think they are gorgeous feet (unfortunately I have kankles but)
    As for shoes we are farmers so no problems getting work boots. In the summer I live in billabong thongs usually. The only real trouble U have is finding nursing shoes and I hate how you rarely get a special as the shoes on sale aren't stocked in over a 10. I hate that.
    I'm 181cm.
