Allow my feminine side to get out, but I do have to go hunting for shoes soon enough, so might as well grab some tips from our diverse OT community.
I know I wouldn't be representative of OT by far, so anyone can go and ask about what they need, but since it's my thread (and my 99th thread, I believe, since I've spent far too much time here with you guys), I'll go with my own stats.
I've been content with grabbing pairs of sneakers for $30 or $40 because they needed to clear stock and have been using Eastbay for quite a while to find such pairs. However, I have a great need to pick up some dress shoes (and perhaps another pair of sneakers, but that's another matter for later). Yet, I don't have a whole heck of a lot of money (after all, I'm 22 and living in a hellhole apartment) and I have another problem: I wear size 18 shoes (that's 50-something for Europeans). Obviously, this greatly reduces the availability of such shoes at reasonable prices.
So, firstly, where would you suggest trying to find some pairs? And, since I wouldn't be sure how wide I'd need them to be (or if using a half size one way or another would be a good idea), where could I find instructions to measure my foot?
And if you guys and ladies are proud of your own collections, by all means, post them here!
