Good luck!

Once you get to about a size 5 or 6 in shoes, you’re already shopping in the Womens sizes.

Steve madden and believe it or not jessica simpson both make really attractive, work/walk-safe shoes, but either way it’s gonna be painful breaking them in. I suggest investing in a lil box of bandaids for your heels and just keeping a few in your purse. Also, theyre a lil pricier and not always really cute, but doc martens are soo comfy. And toms, too.

Our pick of the answers:

TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Ross. They sell a lot of overstocked shoes and accessories. Anywhere from Roberto Cavalli to Jessica Simpson’s.

Dear Danger,

I’m not entirely sure of what stores sell them exactly, but I know that all stores like Forever 21, Wet Seal, and Tilly’s sell shoes. You can also try Payless, JC Penny, Sears, or Kohls. Probably Nordstrom or Burlington Coat Factory too.

Hope you find what you’re looking for!

When you’re wearing heels, you should be stepping on the balls of your feet before the heels. If you put your foot down heels first you lose balance and that could be what makes you feel like falling. Just practice walking and wear heels around the house while you’re still getting the hang of it. Also know that the thicker the heel, the easier it is to keep balance, so it would help you to start with that.

Our pick of the answers:

Aldo, Steve Madden, and Nine West. These brands can also be found at Nordstrom Rack, and any discounter store.

Have you tried Lane Bryant stores?

I’ve been out of management in the shoe business for many years, but they used to specialize in shoe sizes above 9 as they do in plus size clothing.

Unfortunately, the US has turned over most or all of our shoe manufacturing to China. Also, most stores have refined their merchandising practices to eliminate “fringe” inventories.

China does not manufacture the broad range of sizes which the US had done in past years. Here we used to stock a basic 108 shoe sizes, plus a few others in wider widths and above size 11. Too bad.

I hope Lane Bryant can be of help for you. They will be expensive, I’m sure, and have always generated higher markup. However, with style changes so often and quickly, markdowns are considerably higher on “fringe” sizes.

You should look for their sales and try to buy basic styles, looking ahead to the next season, such as present summer shoes for next year. Fall styles are arriving now and by October, they will be placed on sale, as new Spring merchandise will be arriving in late Oct.-early Nov. When you find your size on these sales, look ahead to next year.
In a year you will have the seasonal shoes when needed.

As a guide:
SPRING shoes begin arriving in Nov.-Dec. Sales begin May.

Summer shoes begin arriving in March-April. Sales begin
Late June-July.

Fall shoes begin arriving in July-August. Sales begin Oct.-Nov.

You can see the pattern that is used to bring in new seasonal styles early and the planned clearance in order to make stock space for the new season.

It’s a good idea to make contact with a sales person and always buy from that person. Leave your name and contact info. You will find that one will be interested in keeping you as a customer and will be willing to contact you when new merchandise arrives in your size, AND will contact you when they are placed on sale.

Good luck.

I’ve sometimes heard people say that when they buy lolita shoes the size is too big. I believe they don’t always list the correct American sizes, but they usually list accurate sizes in centimeters. You may find that if you measure your foot, you will be able to fit into the shoes after all
I measure my foot by standing on a piece of paper and I use a pencil to mark, then measure with a ruler. It might be harder to convert from inches because it’s less precise. Be sure to measure both feet because they’re often not the same.

If that doesn’t work, there are some places where you can buy custom made lolita shoes. An easy way to find them is through ebay. Here’s an ebay search for lolita shoes in size 11: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?US%2520Shoe%2520Size%2520%2528Women%2527s%2529=11&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A5044&rt=nc&_nkw=lolita%20shoes&_dmpt=US_Women_s_Shoes&_sop=12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

I have bought lolita shoes through ebay before and although it’s generally not recommended to buy lolita clothes from ebay sellers, the shoes are good enough.

You can also buy lolita shoes from a brand called Secret Shop. There is a group order for larger sizes on this site: http://www.clobbaonline.com/index.php?p=1_53
There is also An*Tai*Na and Montreal for custom shoes, but I’m not sure if they make larger sizes too. Maybe for an extra fee?

You can buy great secondhand lolita shoes on the EGL Community Sales on Livejournal. Here is a link to posts tagged with “Secret Shop”: http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/tag/secret%20shop
You could post a WTB (want to buy) for larger shoes and see if anyone responds.

Demonia has larger sizes and sometimes has shoes that could pass for lolita, for example Goblin 07: http://www.alternative-footwear.co.uk/contents/media/l_goblin-07-bpu.jpg
Their shoes are mostly black though.

Are you /kidding/? You’d rather see your daughter sad than your wife? I’m sure your wife would understand since she’s older, plus she should understand that your child’s happiness should come first. It is after all, a parent’s responsibility.

If you look at it another way, the bike is way more practical than a pair of shoes. Especially if your daughter doesn’t have a bike.

And I’m kind of sad that your wife asks for something expensive when you’d have troubles affording it..

For the budget you have mentioned I would recommend:
www.newlook.com/
New Look has a really large selection of summery clothes/shoes/accessories. On their website they have categorised each summer trend. Here are some key summer trends that you may like:

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/nautical_430028?trail=1002%3Acat430028

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tribal-jungle_430030?trail=1002%3Acat430030

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/festival-fun_840010?trail=1002%3Acat840010

This trend is really girly but you can mix and match items if you don’t want a ‘full on’ floral look (but this trend is really good for summer)

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/floral-frenzy_840012?trail=1002%3Acat840012

For shoes, flat sandals are in fashion:
http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/shoes/metallic-tubed-sandal_188974379 (these sandals will go with summery dresses, skirts etc – it comes in white too and it’s a bargain compared to most sandals on the high street!). However, I would also recommend Primark for sandals, their prices are amazing! Primark also has a huge selection of summery clothing and at very affordable prices too!
Some accessories from New Look:

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jewellery?trail=1002%3Acat30032%3A14002%3Acat30048&icCategory=cat30032&bfh_gp=3&bfh_so=3&bfh_ps=20

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jewellery?trail=1002%3Acat30032%3A14002%3Acat30050&icCategory=cat30032&bfh_gp=2&bfh_so=3&bfh_ps=20

The gold chandelier type earrings are a good look for summer, they go with almost everything – from dresses to jeans and vest tops.
Pick a good pair of sunglasses that go with everything, such as:

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/accessories/oversized-sunglasses_174371208

but you can find similar ones in Primark.
River Island/Topshop have really nice summery clothes but you would only be able to pick a few items that will match your budget. Check out their websites. Http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php
But Primark and New Look would be most advisable, very affordable and fashionable!
