I do have a few pairs of Clarks. I was hoping for something with more WOW factor. I will try the others.</p> <p>yes I do find the closed dress shoes harder, with sandals I can size up, and doesn't look too bad if it's a little big. Boots are easier too again because I can size up. My 4yr DD has same feet like mine. I bought her a pair of double wide Stride Rite sneakers, and guess what? The instep is still not enough, so the Velcros can't close all the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shoe-brands-for-wider-feet-high-instep#post-272897 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:13:39 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 272897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just sending my sympathy on having such specific issues to deal with. My 4yo DD has very small, narrow feet, but a high instep and shoe fitting for her is really hard. Do hope you have success with Angie's recommendations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shoe-brands-for-wider-feet-high-instep#post-272896 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:12:12 +0000 Lynne 272896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cloud 9, I am a c or d fitting depending on the brand, and I find Clarks good. There are also 2 Australian brands that are great - Dianna Ferrari and Sandler - with c and d fittings, but I guess thats not much help to you ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shoe-brands-for-wider-feet-high-instep#post-272891 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:09:07 +0000 Angie 272891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a client with exactly the same foot issues and foot size. Do you find closed shoes the hardest? We do. Sandals are easier to fit. </p> <p>Try Munro, Vanelli, Clarks, Naughty Monkey Boots, Uggs and Merrels. They offer WW and a good instep height most of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shoe-brands-for-wider-feet-high-instep#post-272794 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:50:25 +0000 cloud9 272794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am salivating over all those pretty shoes. I have very fussy feet. :(</p> <p>I describe my feet as very "meaty". So in addition to needing a wide width / bigger toe box (or I really prefer extra wide, or at least a D, although can live with a C), my insteps are very high. (I hope "high" is the right adjective? I am talking about the girth around the widest part of the feet) So sometime I have problem even fitting into a shoe even if the length/wide is OK. </p> <p>I also have pretty small feet, needing a size 6 in most shoes, but typically need the girth of a size 7 to fit. I look pretty ridiculous in those round toe very low vamp shoes. </p> <p>My go-to brand has been Bella Vita, their style is quite conservative and lately seems more matronly. Unfortunately, a size 6w shoe that is fashionable is hard to come by.</p> <p>On top of that, I prefer a 1-3 inch heel, a complete flat is not good for my feet either. So slim pickings.. Is there a shoe brand you could recommend for the types of me? Thanks in advance! </p>
