Does anyone know where to get larger size shoes/trainers. My 13yr old son is a size 13 and as most makes only seem to go up to size 12 its proving very difficult to find something suitable and affordable. At the moment his school shoes are hanging on by a thread literally and the only larger sizes I have found are the sort his granddad would wear, you can imagine the reaction that got.
Have looked at many sites on net but maybe theres a few Ive missed. Any help would be ever so appreciated.

I know how you feel. I spent all my time looking for large shoes and long trousers when my lad was growing up. Best place ever for shoes was a company called MAGNUS. They always seemed to have the trendy styles in stock and I used to buy his socks from them as well. I never really cared for High & Mighty. Hope this helps.0

http://www.mandmsports.com do a range of shoes and boots in size 13, not always cheap but are definately cheaper than other places.
Go to My search then select Men from the drop down then put 13 into the shoe size and you'll find a range of things come up.
Highlights include Rockport boots for between £80 and £100 (still better than normal) and even Adidas Predator Football Boots. - He'll be much more impressed with those than the Grandad ones from High and Mighty ;Dme insane0 -
I am a size 13 and find Ebay to be the best place by FAR! And I don't buy second hand, theres plenty of dealers that sell brand new larger sizes through there.
Also, if you have a Brantana (?) store near you, most of them go up to 14s, but are limited.
But, if your happy to pay a fortune for them, you can try

They are FULL RRP (ie expensive) but very good customer services and fast delivery.
Lastly, you could get them shipped in from the US, from somewhere like https://www.eastbay.com , again, it ends up quite expensive when you include import duty and shipping.
Hope that helps!0
