Bit niche this one, but thought it worth sharing as anything above a size 12 in men's shoes seems to cost a fortune & I should know, my ever growing adult son is in a size 14.5 shoe. I've bought from Walk Tall before, because they do have some decent brands & with my son only being 23yrs old now, he doesn't want to look like he's wearing clumpy grandad orthopaedic's or clown shoes. Anyway, I digress, Walk Tall currently have a an upto 60% Off Sale on, usually delivery costs £4.99, they do offer Free Returns as standard, which is ideal when you have slightly out of the ordinary feet like my son (I won't go into too many details, but let's just say we have to brush his feet).

Thanks OP! My husband is a size 13 and it's a nightmare getting him shoes.

Prices seem high to me.
Example:
Pair of Pods on the first page that are listed at £35, and I picked up from TK Maxx for £18 last month.

12's
Some of the reef's look reasonable deals(some overpriced).
The Superga look a decent price, but I would not buy a pair online since the pairs I've tried instore have varied in sizing.

I had size 12 converse once. Too big though.

Two words for you - "bigfoot tax". It seems unfair, but then I guess us with big feet do require more material :wink:

Thank you , my son is a size 14 (only 17yrs old) and its been a real struggle finding shoes.
Occasionally TKMax will have one pair! Prices look decent too , of course if you have averages sizes 7-12 then you can get great deals everywhere!

If you take larger sizes keep an eye on "Brantono" , in the sales their shoes are far more cheap than Op,s.
Although they sell online , it is best to go instore where specific lines get reduced further and you can try them on , as shoe manufacturers appear to all use different rubber tape measures when making a size.
Sadly Brantano Ponders End and Harlow have closed , but they have other branches , well worth a visit.
