Any recommendations of where to buy ( shop or online ) large size men's shoes, size 12 plus.?

Grandson needs black shoes for school. They can be trainers as long as they are shoe-like with no fancy logos or trims etc.

have you tried googling for them I seem to remember a Long Tall Sally website but this may have only be for female things

www.walk tall.co.uk good luck.x

Thank you Shirley and Flump.
I've had a look at some sites after a Google search and they are either really expensive or don't go beyond size 12.
Grandson tried on some size 12 trainers yesterday in a local shop and said they were too tight, ie. narrow, and the shop didn't have a larger size.
Goodness only knows where he inherited this big feet gene from !

I'll carry on Googling and will certainly have a look at Flump's suggestion.

Many thanks.

Brantano Shoes stock larger size shoes.
There are shops or on line.

When my twin girls were at school they had size 8!!
I hated shopping for their shoes.
Now they can fit into a size 7.
I hope that this helps you,

These are not cheap, but prob comare with places like clarkes if he was in smaller school type shoes

Some more great ideas,.. Thank you.

Daughter has always bought good shoes for him, when younger, often having to wait for a wide enough shoe to be ordered into a shop.

I will tell her about your findings.


Thanks,

Gwyn (in Kent),

There's a new Brantano shoe shop opened in Broadstairs last week (if you are anywhere near).

Thanks Choccy. Great news.
We're not that close, but daughter has next week off work, so may go for a little drive up the coast.!
