    Can anyone else out there with size European 43 feet share my pain at not being able to fit into ANY pretty Choos/Manolos/Louboutins or indeed most high street designs and therefore being doomed to wear boring clumpy flat unimaginitive shoes for their big day?

    MEEEEE!!! (size 11 Aus size. not sure what Eu size) only MOH at the moment but we ended up getting all the girls shoes at Payless Shoes (aussie shop) and found some GORGEOUS satin finish low heels that suit us all, and not too expensive either. Its worth looking around the 'cheap' shops, you dont know what you might be surpised with!

    ...what does that equate to in American sizes? I'm a size ten and I know I've run across size 11's. Payless is a great resource. I'd try department stores too...

    A 41 is generally a 10... SO I think 43 would be an 11/11.5.

    David's Bridal carries pretty bridal shoes in size 11. If you can find a shoe shape you like, you can have them dyed and add a shoe clip to make them look just like designer shoes!

    DSW!  They carry larger sizes.  And so does Neiman Marcus - I think they are one of the few dept. stores that doesn't stop at size 10.  I am a 10 but occassionally a 10.5 - and a lot of dept stores etc stop at 10.  Jimmy Choos go up to 42, i fyou get a strappy open toe number, you might be able to wear a 42?????

    I'm a US shoe size 12 so I can't even buy shoes in real stores unless its at payless. But I guess that's what happens when you're a 6' .5" tall woman. Clothes are a nightmare too since all the lengths are too short!! www.endless.com is my godesend. I can finally wear all the cute shoes by nine west because the site carries larger sizes in name brands.. YAY!!! I feel your pain though.

    There are a lot of famous people who have rather large feet as well, and they still enjoy designer shoes.  I'm not sure of their shoe source, but if you want designer shoes, they're out there somewhere.  Here are a few examples of women with a bigger shoe size than most:

    Venus Williams (11), Tyra Banks (11), Uma Therman (11), Oprah Winfrey (10.5), Brooke Shields (10), Katie Holmes (10) - Source

    You're definitely not alone, and the Internet can be a great resource.  Endless carries shoes up to a size 16!  They also have free over night and return shipping.

    I am a 10.5/11 which I think is 41/42.  I got my shoes at piperlime, but I've also had luck @

    zappos

    steve madden (run big to me, I can wear a 10 with round toes)

    j crew (their 11s were too big for me, had to get heavenly heels, so maybe try them)

    BR

    sometimes even nordstroms, but I didn't want to spend more than $100 on mine (they were orig. but got them on sale)  what style/color do you want?  I think endless is good too, tho I haven't bought from there.

    I'm a Size 11. I boght my wedding shoes from www.myglassslipper.com (they're the Benjamin Adams Renee). I also found some nice Size 11's at Payless. Also, Target has a lot of cute bride/bridesmaid shoes, and they used to only carry up to Size 10, but now they carry Size 11, and tend to have a lot of them in both the store and online! (I got my b-maid shoes for two weddings at Target for less than $20!!)
