The Portugese shoes were really nice and unlike sneakers can fold up and practically fit in your purse! I think you’d really like the fit and feel.

Thanks Sandra for sharing. I have a friend who swears by Sketchers for comfort and price. Glad they worked out for you on your London trips.

Oh wow! six months later and still bruised – that’s definitely not fun. While the store may not be in London, definitely look up the European brands mentioned and see if they ship to the UK or have a distributor in the city. Walking in London is serious business – many don’t understand the tube connection tunnels and stairs involved so a good pair of shoes is key in the city. The downside of big feet is that I wish I could just go to M&S or other and buy the cheap, trendy shoes to walk out with.

I also buy multiple pairs of shoes and put one away for the future when I need to replace. My family used to laugh at me for this but seriously have no clue the pains involved with size 11 feet. The best part is spring cleaning and finding a box of shoes, opening them and realizing they are brand new shoes – it’s like a christmas & birthday present in one box – what a wonderful surprise
