Hah, I would love to throw away the ones he has now, they're horrible! I was being a bit facetious really. I do have some good house shoes and a cheap pair of slipon sneakers.
I am a boot bitch and I've officially divorced Doc Martens in favor of Palladium boots. They're just generally more comfortable, functional and though they can lean pricey, theres also affordable options. They're a little conversey, but not enough that they look like Wish.com knockoffs. These two will be my Fall/Winter Daily Drivers (depending on weather and outside conditions)

Docs have been shit tier since they outsourced their manufacturing to China anyway. Real combat boot connoisseurs buy Solovair Classics because they’re basically just Docs but still made in the UK and actually good.
They know how to do it well because they were literally licensed to make official Doc Martens in their factory in England until the 1990s, and they still use all the OG machinery that isn’t made of chinesium and lubricated with the tears of sweatshop workers.

Having big feet as a woman sucks ass. Size 11, although I can go 10.5 with some shoe types.
While it's nice to take advantage of sales, because size 11s usually stay on the shelves longer... it's a pain in the ass because literally nothing looks good on big feet. Thankfully the rest of my body is small/average, legs and ankles are a nice shape, although I'm fucking short on top of it, like 5'3". If I mention my odd Sasquatch issue, people claim they don't notice it at all. Who knows, maybe I'm good at hiding it.
I tend towards quality over quantity. Since my feet don't look "cute" in anything, I say "fuck it" and buy stuff that feels comfortable and lasts. My favorite brands are those that are designed with walkers or runners in mind. I love my Brooks sneakers, Reef sandals, Dr Martens. Naot, a brand that is based in Israel, seems really great. Waldlaufers, from Germany, are great. Those expensive as fuck shoes they sell in specialty orthopedic stores are often really great. Dr Martens, at least the boot designs that lean towards unisex, are generally comfortable, long lasting, and they are great on slippery surfaces.
It seems that the brands marketed to Americans here in the US are usually crappy, cheap, and they fall apart quickly. I guess they know we tend to throw them out quickly due to fashion changes and/or that we barely walk places, so they don't require as much sturdy construction. In my experience, it's better to drop cash on brands that are NOT considered "American-fashion" brands. I suppose the exception includes cowboy boots (they're usually well made), and some athletic brands that focus on functional sneakers for running.
That being said, it's probably in everyone's best interest to buy more shoes that are orthopedically correct and are also the right size. Those of us who grew up with old-school mothers have been browbeaten into thinking "big feet on women is horrific!" So, we were pushed into shoe sizes that were way too small. This has terrible long term consequences, as many women who grow up like this wind up with malformed feet that require surgery to be fixed. This kind of crap snowballs-- , if you wind up gaining weight due to pregnancy or other issues, your feet WILL feel the consequences. Having mangled bunions and hammer toes to begin with will make the pain much more unbearable. Then, you can't walk as much, then you gain more weight, then your knees deteriorate... you get the picture. I also know quite a few women under 40 who've had to have surgery on their feet due to years of too-small footwear.
Thankfully my job doesn't require high fashion women's footwear. If it did, I'd be up shit's creek without a paddle.
I feel ya lady i've got size 10 hoofs myself but my foot is really thick and wide so if i can fit it in the toe box the top of my foot is too tall i have relace everything half way up in sneakers just to make sure they fit. It fucking sucks the worst bit is i can never just walk in and buy shoes off a shelf, my husband fucking hates shoe shopping with me it ends in tears most of the time from both us. I usually just end up wearing combat boots.
On the plus side i did get these bad boys last week, still trying to hunt down the purple version without much luck. The picture doesn't do the colour justice honestly.

Oof, that sucks. I once knew a girl in secondary school who had size 13 feet and had to get her school shoes from a specialist shop for women with big feet.
I’m necroing this to talk about shoes. Please direct me to a more recent shoe thread if needs be.
I’m looking for some heels that are comfy, and a bit weird. Not too weird. Remember how Irregular Choice used to be? Like that. UK/Europe shipped or there’s taxes and returns are a pain. Basically low to mid height heels or wedges with rounded wide toes, a solid but cute heel and a bit weird. I did go to the irregular choice website but they are a bit too out there this season, and I don’t really fancy care bear shoes
These shapes, perhaps not necessarily these colours
Any ideas for similar shops? Everything in the shops around me is really strappy sandals and stilettos and I can’t deal with that, I prefer more solid stuff I can walk in (and fuck it, sometimes it’s nice to have shoes like a Japanese teenager even if you are middle aged…)
Also mid height wedges that aren’t open toe and have a wide toe box…

I have both the hot chocolates are great for everyday wear, the Mary Jane style ones i use for work get a lot of compliments on them well made too, i don't wear the heels to much but they have a nice wide platform so they are very stable and comfortable . Bettie page are more for dancing but a good cobbler can resole them with a better tread for everyday use.
