You have been given suggestions as to how you can get some more suitable shoes. Why have you dismissed them? Do you not want the job?

You've done all that in half an hour? Asda do size 9 shoes, the cheapest being £6. I expect other supermarkets do similar. Gumtree, freecycle ...

So you did nothing about getting another pair knowing that you would need them for a future interview and that you were an unusual size. As others have said charity shops and supermarkets are your best place.

no didn't do anything about it, obviously as i couldn't be bothered, not that i was waiting for next jsa and wanted to buy food and and use the CTC on m child's new coat and stuff or college, clearly i just want to have no shoes and get laughed at an interview, i was just asking a question, i don't want free stuff, i have worked for 25 years until i got made redundant, im 50 not stupid, you both have made me feel like !!!! im not stupid i know i need interview clothes i was just asking if wp should help for the time im stuggling.for a few days forget it

Sorry if you feel that people are not being helpful but personally I just can't understand why you left it to the last minute ie when you have an actual interview. You do however want free stuff.

As a thought do you have any male friends who could lend you some shoes as once on it wouldn't be obvious I would think.

I hope things work out for you.
