I sympathise with Louise . I have a large size, (10) wide fitting foot , the only shoes that can fit me are Doc Martin shoes . I can't wear high heels anyway due to a knee injury, but it's not easy to get any decent shoes .
I have exactly the same problem, I take a size nine shoe, broad-fitting! It’s even more impossible to find a stylish ladies shoe here in Cyprus! So I live in trainers and open sandals in summer when I can just get into an 8! 😤
