Only have 1 leg only need 1 shoe

[Deleted User] · 27 April 2006 at 9:48AM

My partner's mother only has 1 leg and is fed up of having to buy a pair of shoes when she only needs 1.

She has heard on the internet there are shops which specialise in selling 1 shoe and has asked me to help her find them.

I have googled various phrases and not come up with anything.

Does anyone know of a site which can help us please?

Cheers,
Bay

It might be worth asking in the shoe shops cos where i work we are always getting odd shoes and have an "odd shoe box"they never seem to find the other one perhaps ur not alone

Thank you both for those suggestions!

I totally agree with rammy007, most shoe shops must have odd shoes; there must always be an idiot that pinches one shoe that’s on display, leaving the shop with one left to dispose of.
