@mattgrayyes not sure if any of their shoes are your style, but Pleaser has shoes that SHOULD go up to your size.

@mattgrayyes those are cool!

mattgrayyes OP ,
@mattgrayyes@chaos.social avatar

The problem with clicking on ads for cool shoes, is that I keep getting more ads for more cool shoes.

And none of them are made in my size: I’m a UK14, (EU49.5, US13) in men’s shoes.

Most men’s shoes go up to a 12 max, and cool ones usually only go up to an 11.
Women’s shoes maybe an 8 (=7 in men’s). And yep all my ads are for women’s at the moment.

@mattgrayyes I had a similar problem when I was using thread. Lots of cool shoes suggested, but never available in my size.

@mattgrayyes Next video: Matt Gray is trying to manufacture his own shoes. You won't believe what happened next!

@mattgrayyes I keep nearly falling down the rabbithole of shoe making with sneakerkit etc.. but I just checked for you, they only go up to 47. :(

@mattgrayyes I have a same problem, and similar size US12.5-13 depending on the shoe.

I used to really love Supra for their sneakers, they did interesting designs and were really comfortable. But they’ve gone.

Nike I’ve found does a good half size, but their colours don’t really do a lot for me, even their ‘design your own’ I can’t get a colourway I like.

@mattgrayyes my ex has the same size feet as you. Many painful and expensive memories in the late 90s of trying to find shoes that fit. He worked in shit min wage job who were nasty and unsympathetic about how hard replacing unexpected broken shoes and clothing was.

I know large feet people who have ended up getting custom made shoes which is extremely £££

@mattgrayyes In case you're not aware (you may well be), Solovair go up to UK 14, and they have some interesting designs, e.g. https://uk.nps-solovair.com/products/s8-551-fl-ro-g?variant=40292919967824 . I find they size a little narrow for my feet and I have to go up a half size to be comfy, but their returns policy is good.

@mattgrayyes I have spent far too long trying to find a UK retailer of barefoot shoes that do up to size 15... there isn't one...

@pencilears I think that’s a US Women’s 14, which would make me a 17 :(

@mattgrayyes I thought they went up to a men's 14 ?

@mattgrayyes Even at size 12 I found it easier to go into shoe shops and ask "What do you have in my size?" rather than "Do you have this style in my size?"

Nowadays I sidestep that problem by wearing weird shoes with toes in them. Not only have I ceased to care what others think about my footwear but going "barefoot" has fixed my flat feet.

@mattgrayyes my sympathies from the opposite end of the problem. Have you tried buying men’s formal shoes in a 4? :S

@mattgrayyes they never do, they always assume people with large feed don't want to be cute.
