Oversized shoes for women?

Paula1
By Paula1

Good morning,

does anyone know about a place in this town where I could buy oversized shoes? All the shops I tried before sell shoes up to size 41 - bad luck for me, I have 43 (USA: 10.5, UK: 10) :-( Only Hush Puppies do have larger sizes, but the shoes that are available in my size are only few, and very boring and old-fashioned - nothing I could wear at work, I need something that is business-like/elegant...

If there is no place, what about handmade shoes - are they affordable and where is a cobbler who does it?

Thank you!!!

Geez, you must be really tall! I'm not that tall, sometimes the pants are too short, but never had a challenge with blouses...heard that there are some tailors in the Souq Waqif, but never tried one - wanted to try it for a suit as I heard it might be cheaper than buying one in a mall...would be cool if yoou could let me know once you found a good tailor:-)

but am looking into getting a tailor for blouses as my shoulders/arm width and length are almost impossible to find here also..have to get blouses 2 sizes too large just to fit them! lol

Scarlett, will let you know in case I find something...did you ever try to find a cobbler who could actually make shoes for you?

Size 47... So whatever supernurse said about big dongs, if that was true than this guy probably would have as hard time as i do, not easy to have a big weapon lol. 

 

But I believe size 47 is either Shaq O'Neal or Godzilla... :P
