I was not blessed with dainty feet. I can point the finger at both Mum and Dad, but it won’t help me any. Ranging between a size 9 and 10, mine are not the cute little feet that can walk into any shoe store and totter out with some fabulous new heels. In fact shoe-shopping is pretty much the bane of my existence. That is until I was introduced to Peter Sheppard. This is the store that anyone with gumby feet will adore — and by that I mean anyone with big, wide or narrow feet, in fact anything that’s not a perfect size 6. These clever souls cater just for us! And now they’ve got a shiny store in new Westfield, it’s even better(the old shop was stuck in the 70s — in a bad way). To add insult to injury, the other problem with gumby feet is that our shoes come with a hefty price tag. It might be a small price to pay for well fitting shoes, but Peter Sheppard also puts on a couple of stonking sales each year, so you’d do well to sign up to the mailing list and time your visits to suit.
