Narrow Fitting Pump (shoes)

Hi
Does anyone know any narrow fitting pumps? As I try every year to get some and they are always too narrow and I'm always between sizes, 3 too small and 4 too big!
Can anyone help!?

Most Italian-manufactured shoes are narrower than a standard UK fitting, so be on the lookout for them. If you're a between-sizes sort of gal I'd recommend buying a size 4 and putting heel-grips in them.
Judging by the number of women who wear those ballerina pumps with their fat feet hanging out over the sides I'd be tempted to assume that they're all narrow-fitting.0 -

Glad i'm not the only one to have noticed this - it's gross. Especially now they're wearing those dainty pointy ones with feet spilling out. Eughhhh - and don't get me started when they have tattoos too.
I find Next shoes really narrow and slightly too small, so you could go for a four from there. I've had some leather pumps from Next for a few years now and can't wear them as they hurt my foot bones when I walk, and I have normal width feet, meaning Next shoes are far too narrow. Don't have this problem from any other supplier.I'll have some cheese please, bob.0 -
I feel you, mine always come away at the back, then they squash my toes when i have to go down a size to get them to fit.
I normally get mine from primark, they seem to fit ok for me in there, or marks and spencer.0 -
If you are loaded, Pretty Ballerinas and French Sole have narrow ranges and are narrow overall anyway.0

Fully agree - I am a B fitting . It could have been worse, I might have inherited my mother's AAA fitting! Having a very high instep doesn't help either.
Italian shoes definitely fit me best. Some of the Jones the Bootmakers are OK too but they can be variableBitterAndTwisted wrote: »Judging by the number of women who wear those ballerina pumps with their fat feet hanging out over the sides I'd be tempted to assume that they're all narrow-fitting.
I wish - most ballerina styles just drop straight off me! I have just one pair from Shoe Express which have an elasticated top ( yes I know but I was desperate) which stay on. They are pretty shabby now but I can't find anything else at the moment0 -
I think Clarks do narrow (and wide) fitting pumps? And I'm sure Next do half sizes too.
I'm a size 4; but due to have skinny feet, can get away with size 3. (and kids shoes)Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I literally just found a voucher for French Sole ballet pumps on the shoppingcouchers site with a £10 off voucher (code: shoppingaug01) for Deluxe Boutique. Going to be my wife's birthday present this year.
