My friend is finding it hard to buy shoes and trainers in size 12 in the Liscard/New Brighton area. Her son has feet we recon make him look like a hobbit. We are talking feet which are 12" long. Anyone ideas about which shops sell humungus footwear? They need to be reasonably priced and good wearing.

I'm a size 12 or 13 and find Cheshire oaks is good for big sizes and they are cheap because hardly anyone is that big. I got 2 pairs of Reebok trainers for £45.

I get my footwear off the internet. Although I've found supermarkets to be ok for size 12 shoes

If I am laughing after reading this thread I am sure you don't need an explanation.

I am indeed having a giggle.

My son is also a size 12.
Usually get his online at 'Wynsors' or 'SportsDirect'.
