Evening. I have searched many online places for an Oxford Brogue in an EU size 48 / 49 (UK size 13 or 14 depending on the retailer) but I have yet to find something thats actually available. Some places list an EU47 as a UK13 but having tried a couple they are just too small!

Ive tried:
Loakes
Barker
Cheaney
Grenson
Etc

Any other slightly larger footed chaps have a good source that I can try?

Try Oliver Sweeney.
They're now online only but customer services are very helpful and returns/refunds are really easy.
Other options:
- Sanders
- Church but...
- Trickers; outlet only as full price isn't value for money

EDIT- I'm not a big foot but like proper footwear.

They have a couple of shops but also sell online and.via stockists

They are quite roomy. I have 11.5 and 12  Loakes but am only 11 in NPS

Custom made? Expensive but they will probably outlast you if looked after.

I have some plain brown shoes by James Taylor

And they are lovely. Turned out my minor heel spurs, made them orthopaedic and vat free, which was nice.

Crockett and Jones? I'm sure I used to see large sizes in the Cheaney and Church's factory shops.

Church do shoes in different lasts, check their website, it describes the lasts and the foot profile they suit.

Herring shoes do oxfords up to size 14, they also stock most of the Northampton brands and will likely know who can do a shoe to suit you.

Call your local Slater's branch - I've had a few pairs of UK14 brogues from them at decent prices. Think I've had success with Clarks too previously.
