Shoe quandry
Yeah I know, sounds unusual but I'm in a fix and Lord knows I can't think of a more informed panel of folks anywhere so I thought I'd share this to see if help is available from any of my friends here. Ya see about 3 years ago thanks to an amazing series of events, we discovered my daughter had a tumor on her pituitary gland and her growth hormones were dispursing at an incredible rate. (Surely you remember Andrea the Giant.... same disorder) Anyway.. we got medical attention and all's well now. She's a healthy happy teenager with one distinct drawback. Her shoe size is a whopping 15 men's. Yep, for the last couple of years we've only been able to find her shoes to fit in men's sizes. This has worked well for her as she's not a dress up fan anyway but she's a junior this year and there's the prom to think of. I've searched high and low for women's shoes to fit her and come up with zilch. I know somebody somewhere makes them but so help me I can't find them. Do any of you have a clue where to get her some ladies shoes and while I'm at it have her measured because ordering needs to be accurate with width and instep. If I seem desperate I am... I so want her to have the option of attending this traditional event as seemingly normal as possible. Men's sneakers won't seem normal.
