I have bought some new simples and i have to strech them in the toobox .
Now i want another pair of cl and dont know what to get for my wide feet , i cant fit because there is no cl store arround .What do you girls advice me to buy.
 
Be sure to do a search, there's lots of threads with tips on the best ways to stretch - I feel your pain too, even just being a big size (41) it's hard to find CLs that fit.
 
My feet are fairly wide for the size that I wear, and I will always advise that you buy a size that feels a little tight and then have them stretched. I have seen many other girls on the forum post the same thing - that when they "size up" to compensate for the width of their feet they wind up regretting it because the shoes stretch and then they feel too big.

Hi! I have the same problem- don't worry- it just takes time to break them in! I LOVE new simples- they are the most comfy for me but only after i have the stretched. I always used to size up .5 due to width, but then i got heel slippage. Go with a size that feels secure- also consider if you will wear ball-of-foot cushions. Then, try the Sock Trick here in combination with a professional stretching by a cobbler. CL has made his recent shoes a bit wider cut so as someone with very wide feet i feel relief! If the length is good then you're set- have them stretched!
 
I agree with Nerdy, new simples are probably the best fit straight from the box. The rounded toes (like new simples and Ron Rons) and the pointed toe styles (like the piaf) work best for me. I am able to fit both the width and length. In the narrow toe box styles like the decollete and VP, I require a half size up and heel grips to get them to fit right through the toe. HTH.
 
Decoltissimo is perfect for wider feet. You can go true to size or even a half size down in them without the stretcher.


I have wide size 41 shoes in CLs, and I agree that the decoltissimos are fabulous and comfy! I own a pair in patent blush nude and they are MAHvelous! Good luck :smile:
 
I have wide feet too, and love New Simples! You should really do a search as Barlow stated. I bought a wooden Shoe stretcher for heels, and I love it (only $18.95!). It works AMAZING, and I no longer have to do my "sock trick" - I cannot live without my little stretcher:amuse:.
