Shoes for big feet

Hi all
I've got big feet (size 8 but very wide), so I end up buying work shoes in Evans, which are fine though not very pretty and the range is usually quite small. I can occasionally get into size 9s in other shops. I hate shoe shopping cos I always look at nice shoes but then can't get my feet in them. :(
So - where can I get my wedding shoes from? I've seen some online shops that say they do big shoes, but I'm a bit nervous about ordering them as I kind of assume they won't fit...
Thanks guys

    Hi there - I'm in a similar situation, found some lovely shoes but size 8 is so tight there's no way I could spend the day in them!
    Duoboots.com (the people who do a wide range of calf sizes in boots) also do shoes in a range of width fittings - and up to size 9. Not sure if they do traditional white/ivory wedding shoes (if that's what you're after), but worth a look.

    They have quite a lot of wide fitting shoes that look suitably dressy!!

  • I find 8's and 9's occaisionally in next clearance, so I imagine they originate in the full price next stores.
