Have You Got a Big Pair?

[Bronnie]

Of feet, that is!

Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman , Paris Hilton and BBC's Kate Silverton all take a size 9 apparently.

I used to take a size 7 and a half. After losing a fair bit of weight, I went down a shoe size and can often even get into a size 6 now. Can't really get away with very cheap shoes, except for toe posts; they never seem to fit comfortably and I'm a bit fussier about looking after my feet now and making sure I don't get nasty lumps and bumps etc. Although I can get what I want from Next, Clarks (for work), River Island and Faith.

My feet are broadish and I think they look terrible in pumps, which I would like to wear, but never end up buying. Because I have to wear sensible boring flat shoes for work, I love to wear heels and high wedges, even though they make me really tall!!

My faves are a pair of summery high multi coloured wedges I bought a few years ago in Matalan and never wore til this year, when miraculously, they matched my entire summer wardrobe and I wore them to death for travelling and on holiday! I also love my pair of black soft stretchy knee high boots with pointy toe and spiky heels which are incredibly flattering!

Not really, I have irritatingly average size 4/5 feet depending on the shoe. My feet are however quite wide so my choice with cheap shoes comes down to whether I want my toes pinched to oblivion or the shoes to not stay on my feet!

Tiny size 3 for me!!!!

[Bronnie]

Awwww! Sharon, yours are titchy, how cute!

Can you save any money by buying kids stuff for yourself??

[FelinePrincess]

I'm a size 4-5 and I have quite narrow feet. I would like to be a size 3 as shoes always look nicer in smaller sizes!!

[goanmad]

I'm a 6.5 or a 7 so big 'uns for me, too! I'm a bit of a freak really as I'm a dress size 8 and 5'2" with really long hands and feet.
Can't say I have trouble with getting shoes to fit. I love TopShop for footwear and they are pretty generously sized. There's also an excellent ex-store returns stall on our local market and I can pick up funky pre-worn stuff for less than a tenner and 'cos it's been pre-worn the shoes are usually broken in so no horrid blisters.

Size 9 shoes for me, and they're very wide, so can normally only get shoes form evans

My mum buys me most of my shoes, as she knows how much of a pain it is for me to get them.

[marrowgirl]

My plates are size 6 but as wide as a house so they look like flippers! Great for swimming but not for shoe buying. If i buy regular shoes my feet look like they want to explode out of them. :D

Lol yes all the time, i stop off at the kids first, then the adults:T

[sexandthecity]

Mine are size 8 :)

I am 5ft 4 and so are both my parents, my Dad is size 8 and my mum was 4/5 my sister is slightly shorter then me and is size 4/5

Not sure where they came from !

Most of my shoes come from Next. No one ever wants the size 8 shoes so I have my pickings in the sales its fabulous

[eyeonspain]

My feet are such a pain, I couldn't even tell you what size I am as I tend to range from a 5 to a 7 and I am 5 feet5. I find shoes in Spain tend to be very narrow for what I would consider my average width by British standard feet. I have given up on pump shoes here because even if they are gaping at the ankle the toes are pinching. I do look at women's feet and most Spanish women have small feet and it is not unusual to find size 35's displayed before a size 39.

[shazrobo]

i have big feet, a size 10 and very wide, most of my shoes are from evans, but i stay clear of heels, as at 6foot 3 i'm tall enough.
my twin sons aged 14, both have size 15 feet and still growing :eek:

[ecosse306]

I have size 8 feet, and at 5'8 there not totally out of proportion!! I tend to wear heels quite a lot (albeit not particularly high ones), as I always think that I walk like a duck in flat shoes!!!!

[GrammarGirl]

I'm an 8 but my feet are really narrow, so finding shoes can be difficult. I've been a size 8 since I was 11, finding school shoes was an absolute nightmare. I used to cry and cry as I plodded around shops in horrific, canal-boat monstrosities!

[monochromic]

I'm a size 9, sometimes a 10 depending on what sort of shoes and where they're from. Had very big feet since I hit my teens - my mum had a hellish time getting me school shoes, I'm just grateful that I wasn't born 20 years ago with no choice other than to wear mens shoes to school!

I do get terribly jealous of friends who can pick up a gorgeous pair of shoes in the sales for next to nothing. I find it hard to find shoes that fit well on a student budget. My one saving grace has been Priceless shoes - only last a season but it means I don't have to scrimp and save to get a pair.

I'm 5'9 but still wear heels, I just love them, and I do like being tall!

[Lobell]

I'm a size 7 or 8 depending on the shop/brand. I'm only 5'4" so my feet are a bit disproportinate but I don't mind as I love shoes and I can almost always get these sizes in the sales....I have well over 100 pairs of shoes and boots and have only paid full price for a dozen or so pairs.

[verynewmoneysaver]

I'm a wide size 6 to 7 but often have to wear an 8 in normal width shoes. I do find it quite difficult to find comfy shoes. I am okay with toe post sandles if they're wide enough.

[Mrs_Ryan]

Im size 6.5 to 7 but I have extremely wide feet as I only wore trainers for years - my work shoes are men's Kickers, they're the only ones I could find that I liked and fit me properly.
My going out shoes are a pair of size 6 Schuh wedges that I absolutely adore, when I saw them I thought they would never fit but I was pleasantly surprised when they were a lovely fit - and so comfy!! I cant do cheap shoes though - they dont last me five minutes. My mate goes on that she wears cheap trainers and I shoulnt moan about being skint when Im buying name trainers (I have 2 pairs of Reeboks, one of which was over 40 quid) and a pair of Adidas ones, but I have to buy expensive ones as my feet are so bad I wouldnt make it out of the shop in cheap trainers!!!

[MoneyQueen]

I am a size 3.5 so can never buy in sale as most of the time it is either 3(too tight) or 4(loose) :mad:

[Bitsy Beans]

And here's me thinking your were interested in the size of my bangers ;)

I was always a size 7 but depending on the width of the shoe sometimes it needed to be a size 8. However since having my DS I seem to be needing a size 8 on a regular basis.
I think I've just got big, wide plates of meat (and I am 5'6")
