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.!

Gwyn (in Kent),

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

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

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,
Sue

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.

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.
