B) My feet are very unusually shaped and I need HH+ width and have a very
high instep.

I have the same problem. Buying commercially made shoes is impossible.

I get my shoes from Cosyfeet - who do not do protective shoes.

Same with Simpleway.


Any suggestions for suppliers?

I have used steel-capped wellingtons, a couple of sizes too big. They can be
cut down.

Or of course you could always get some hand made to your spec. I tried that
once for ordinary shoes, they were VERY expensive. Spouse makes most of mine
but they don't offer any protection, being made from soft vegetable tanned
leather.



(Note: Intentionally applying angle grinder to feet to reduce width is
*NOT* an option. :-) )

I have looked at the little toe side of my feet and wondered if I could do
without it ... I also considered branch loppers for my hammer toes but
eventually had them strightened (not 100% successfully) by the NHS.

Nobody realises what a problem it is. Size EEEE is useless!
