Default HELP!! I'm desperate!

I've been looking for shoes - preferably with some nice diamonte detail - but I'll take anything now and add the diamonte on myself!

My problem is, my feet are tiny! size kids 13 to 1!! but because my arthritis they are very wide and a bit swollen

I cant find any nice kids shoes to fit!

Can anyone help?? I'll even consider having them made specially if i cant find anywhere that does nice kids shoes (that look like adults) in wider fittings!

They had some nice plain flattish shoes in BHS, which you could add the detail to... but i dont think they do them in the width fittings... might be worth a look though!

Love Dawn xx

Have you tried going to a dance wear shop? You can get all kinds of character/ballroom dancing shoes, and they may do them in childrens sizes. Alternatively, you could search for "Gamba" on the web, because they may well do mail order. They are a good manufacturer of dance shoes.

Hope this helps,

Catherine
