“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”
I am a total shoe whore. NO, seriously, I am. Every season, I buy a few new pairs of shoes to go with my wardrobe–generally, a couple of basics like flats or sandals or both in various colors, plus stylish seasonals (flip flops in the summertime, boots and/or booties in the wintertime) and one or two “statement” shoes, which I define as shoes that get plenty of compliments from my fellow fashionistas. (Who doesn’t love it when one of our fellow women comes up and tells us they love our shoes??)Walking around with these things can make wearing certain “normal width” shoes a little painful, especially when it comes to wearing sexy shoes like heels and wedges. Obviously, this doesn’t gel well with my style–and I don’t like to be uncomfortable. So what do I do?
Since I’m a girl who likes to stick to a budget and to keep up with the times when it comes to style, I am an avid bargain hunter.
Where to Buy Sexy Shoes for Wide Feet
I know I’m not alone on the wide feet thing, and I know how frustrating it can be to get a glimpse of all the cute shoes available to our narrow-footed sisters and not be able to find a wide with version. And, since I’m one of those people who loves to share her secrets, here are my favorite places to buy sexy shoes for wide feet.
- Payless.com–Whether you shop online or in-store, Payless is a great place to get your seasonal, trendy shoes. The prices are really reasonable, and sometimes, a good sale will turn less than $100 into a whole new shoe wardrobe. And the company is working with designers like Christian Siriano, who happened to make my favorite “statement shoe” back in 2012.
- Torrid.com–Like Payless, you can shop online or in-store at Torrid. Their shoes are nearly always available in wides, though sometimes the really cute styles sell out quick. If you sign up for their mailing list, they’ll notify you of good sales, often BOGO, and you can get some really gorgeous shoes for next to nothing. The standard prices especially seem to be anywhere from $39 to $50 but can vary based on the current promotions and of course boots are sometimes more expensive. (This is where I’ve purchased 8 of my last 10 statement shoes. In fact, one of my fav current statement shoes is from Torrid, this blue wedge–see it pictured above?)
I have personally bought lots of outfits and accessories from NoMoreRack.com and have always been thrilled–but haven’t ever tried the shoes that I can recall. Adding that one to my list!
Lara, who is a very sexy and stylish woman I recently met at a sex toy party (no, I’m not kidding! I’ll tell you all about that one later!) suggested HSN.
“HSN, baby! Not all styles are wide but many are,” she said. “There is even a HSN app!”
I havn’t tried HSN yet, for anything, but Lara’s suggestion makes me think I might give it a go. Plus, I really like that Lori Greiner. What a Queen Bee she seems to be! <3
Other Suggestions for Where to Buy Sexy Shoes for Wide Feet
Shelly S. chimed in on the thread, noting that finding wide shoes that she considers attractive has “always been a problem.”
“Plus, I never can wear the cute strappy ones,” she added.
“Shelly, try Hush Puppies and Clark brands,” Sarah A. suggested. “I have double wides, seriously, Fred Flintstone feet, and on Zappos found that both of those brands work well and had CUTE options.”
“I love Clark shoes,” added Sarah C., a friend I didn’t get to know for two years after meeting her because I was so intimidated by her high-end style. (True story!)
“Also, Lane Bryant carries some really cute shoes,” Lara added.
