Dearest Pam - too right you want fashionable shoes, and why shouldn't you have them? It incenses me that retailers usually only stock "standard" sizes, leaving anyone with, as you say, "funny feet" out in the cold.

I have been enjoying a website recently called Uniquely Woman - www.uniquelywoman.co.uk - a resource for hard to find women's clothing and shoes including, lingerie, plus size, petite, tall ranges, post mastectomy, maternity, vegetarian, vegan & organic clothing. Pretty much all you could ask for, really - and categorised by location.

The other thing you could do (if you have the funds) is to have shoes designed specially for you. There's a wonderful designer called Hetty Rose who makes "vegan" shoes to your own specification. Find her on www.hettyrose.co.uk and get sustainable shoes which fit! Hurray!
