Finding men’s smart, tall shoes up to UK size 17

Tracking down tall shoes for men with extra large feet is easy online compared with traipsing round the high street stores that only stock regular sizes.

If you are a UK size 12 plus man, then the online shopping options offer you a huge selection of top brands and designer footwear of all types – smart, casual, sports, sandals and slippers.

Firstly, you have to decide where you slot in the market – the bigger your feet the less options you have.
