Big shoe thread
I've seen a few people mention they have really big feet on this board, so I thought it'd be a good idea to pool our info on where to get shoes. It seems shoe shopping in Calgary is a joke if you have big feet.
I wear a 17, and up until a few years ago when Town and Country Footwear just off McLeod Trail closed down, I never had a problem finding shoes. Runners have been easy to find, but not casual, semi-casual or dress shoes.
Today I went to the New Balance store in the Crowfoot outdoor mall in the NW, and ordered couple pairs. Their policy is that you pay 50% of the shoe they have to order, as well as the freight fee or $15. If the shoe fits, they take all that off the total price, but if they have to send it back, you forfeit the freight fee, but get your 50% back. Kinda' ####ty, but it's better than ordering online and having to send them back.
That is the only local store I know of that seems to carry anything these days.
Where do you get your big shoes?
(Cue the water skiing jokes.)
