It's not that I have awkward feet - I prefer the term pedally-challenged. If I was male I would probably boast about their girth but broad feet are not on most women's wish lists.
At work, I cast envious glances at the
works of art cradling my colleagues' standard width feet. However, as I am
frequently reminded by a certain female family member who has normal width, but
size 8 1/2 feet, I could have it much worse.
That Sex and the City episode
Yes, but watching Sex and the City as a
teenager was pure torture. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha strutted the
streets of New York in stunning Jimmy Choos and Louboutins - shoes I knew I
could never wear.
In fact, does anyone remember that Sex and the City episode where Charlotte crosses paths with Buster, a foot
fetishist with the perfect job - a
high-end shoe salesman?
For those of you who haven’t seen it or
don’t want to, Charlotte becomes embroiled in a sordid symbiotic relationship
with Buster - he enjoys worshipping her feet and fitting her shoes, whilst she
receives increasingly hefty discounts and even a free pair of shoes. All is
going swimmingly until Buster appears to climax whilst assisting with her sixth
pair of the day.
I'm sure I could have gotten over the
awkwardness and taken them off her hands (or feet). But obviously my fat feet wouldn't have fit into them anyway and I doubt even the most desperate, toe-starved foot fetishist would get pleasure from mine!
Wide fit shoes for women
No, I had accepted long ago that I was
doomed to a life of too-chunky Mary Janes and huge, unflattering clodhoppers.
Because, if you have broad feet you clearly want to put on awful shoes that
make them look even wider.
As a modern woman, how can you conquer the world that is
supposedly at your feet in a pair of shoes that resemble German U-Boats? The
answer is clearly that you can’t, nor should you be expected to.

The absence of panache in many wide fit
shoe designs comes as no surprise - as their descriptions confirm, they have
been created for substance rather than style. “Secret hidden comfort with extra
support ” - they’re not sports bras for the well-endowed! I despair.
Dorothy Perkins wide fit court shoes to the rescue
Thankfully, this is where Dorothy
Perkins saved my soul (or should it be sole?) with their gorgeous wide fit pointed court shoes in blue.
But wait, wide fit pointed court shoes
is oxymoronic, is it not? I understand you confusion.
As a child I would look at the very same
shoes and interrogate my mum with persistent questions: "Do women have to cut
their toes off to get into those shoes?" “Like the witches in Roald Dahl’s
book?” Oh how times have changed.
Gorgeous, suedelike and in the most
beautiful powder blue, I'm sure you can see why I have fallen in love.
They're comfortable too - after a day of strutting around the office where I
was now the object of shoe envy, they fared pretty well, despite their 4 inch
heel.
I love them so much I may (definitely)
decide to return for the other colours – nude, classic black and mint
green.
And the best news of all, is that the black and nude are reduced to £17.50 in the Dorothy Perkins sale - an absolute steal. There's also tonnes of choice in the sale for standard width shoes at the moment, too.

So what are you waiting for? Ladies,
put your best foot forward, head to your nearest Dorothy Perkins store and
get your hands on - and feet into- these before someone else does! After all, if
the shoe fits – wear it. And buy it in EVERY colour.
