Hi all

My "little" son of 17 is now needing size 14 shoes and I am having a very hard time finding any, so if any here know where to look, then PLEASE :) tell me.

He's 6'2" now and is growing like 'ell, so we're expecting him to end up being roughly 7' like his grandfather; just really hard to find clothes that fit etc.

My little boy :)
 
I'm 6'7 but only a size 11-12 shoe. clothes on the other hand can be a nightmare to find to fit. Jeans are not too much of a problem, but shirts etc with a long enough sleeve cane be difficult.

There are specialist tall shops such as High and Mighty and Walk Tall but there range tends to be pretty poor and expensive and I feel like I'm walking into a land of Giants when I visit.
 
I've used the following for size 15 shoes.

UK
Magnus
High and Mighty
Walktall
Big Size

US
Oddball
Zappos


TK Maxx sometimes has bigger shoes in stock, and eBay very occasionally has something decent.

If he likes trainers tell him to prepare for a life of converse all stars or boxfresh! The range available in the UK is pretty poor and you'll see an awful lot of crossover between all the sites above. If you want a decent range you need to look at US retailers.

Best advice - boot fit jeans are your friend with crazy feet.

I just turned 15 five days ago, I'm 6'2" and around an 11-13 shoe, I forget as I don't buy them often. I'm still a "little" kiddy to some people though, lol.
 
Sounds like me at 17 (im 6'5" at 22 with size 14, just dont weigh much)

Anyway Walktall is alright, I found www.katesskates.co.uk to be very good too if your son likes skate-ish shoes, they have a decent search function to cover size 14.

Van's and converse will be his new best friends (as £40 a pair is better than £70 for some other brands) and if your ever in the states order directly off vans.com to get the best range of over sized shoes (just remember in the us he's a 15)
 
I have size 7 feet and im the opposite :P

However when i worked for Burton and their shoe company they where rolling out 13/14 that was 7 months ago id check their website
