My mum was complaining the other day that her feet were hurting. She was wearing a small heel for the second time in about 20 years but that wasn’t the problem. She said it was the top part of her shoe that was rubbing because she was wearing a 7 and really needed a 7½. But the shop didn’t do half sizes and not so many places do. So I thought I’d do some research to help her out as it will also make a good post. However, it didn’t turn out too well as my mum was right, not many places do make half sizes. In fact, all I managed to turn up was Marks & Spencer, Jones the Bootmaker (who also stock a size 9/42 I was pleased to note) and a site called Footwearsolutions.co.uk. And that’s it unless you want E fitting or wider, in which case there are a limited number of specialist sites.
If anyone knows of any where else that I’ve missed, please feel free to let me know in the comments.
Hobbs do half sizes! x
ReplyDeleteI'm 4.5 and found that Next do half sizes too. River Island's 4's are sometimes big enough - especially with sandals. My ultimate solution for fashion shoes is shopping from American websites and then asking a friend who lives there to deliver them here. They're also a lot cheaper!
