    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:

    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!!!!

    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!

    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!

    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.
  • 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.

    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!!!

    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:

    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")
