    A friend of mine has size 14 shoes and he finds it difficult to get any, theshops in galway dont usually stock them, but i think he has gotten Logues to order him some from Dubarry before.

    Weirdly, he has always found Tralee to be very good for size 14 shoes, both normal and sports shoes. Ithink this is because they get a lot of visiting basketballers down there, big 7ft guys, sometimes taller even, so the shops stock the size, could be worth a look if you're ever down that end of the country!

    Of course theres always online; www.nike.com is a great site for runners and you can even design and personalise your own.

    I have a pair with my name on....sad but cool...or so i like to think!!

    I feel your pain - I take a size 13 and often have to wear plain looking shoes because I have no choice. I can only speak about buying size 13, I sometimes pick up shoes in Hynes' Shoes, Galway Shopping Centre and also Green's in Eyre Sq Centre.Recently, I have successfull bought shoes on-line from an American website www.shoesxl.com and am happy with result.


    You know what they say about guys with big shoes?

    Guys with big shoes have big feet!

    My friend has the exact same problem.

    Thats why he found Tralee good, cos he actually could get decent looking shoes down there in his size!!!

    But that website deffo sounds ideal! Probably the best bet!

    Logues on Eyre square have them but admittedly not a great selection. I also got a pair of rugby boots in the sports store downstairs in Corbett court. They're hard to find but they're in it.

    Just out of interest what height are you Ricky (if you don't mind me asking)? I take a 14 too (around 6'5''/6'6'') but know of a guy who took a 15-16 in shoes.

    I'm 6'4" only 17 though so might get abit taller not to worried really!but i dont want my feet to grow any bigger!

    I used to be a size 14 when I was 16 or 17. At age 20 I can now just about squeeze into a size 11, so don't worry about your feet getting bigger :D

    You prob won't grow noticeably taller. Maybe a quarter inch. I'm your height since I was sixteen.
