Can anyone recommend suppliers of ladies safety shoes please? My problem is someone who has now stopped shift work (overalls and boots) and who now requires a pair of safety shoes for getting around the site. Now, there are plenty of suppliers out there who will sell ladies safety shoes (including I was stunned to see safety high heel court shoes...!) but this lady has larger feet than the size that suppliers typically offer. Any ideas of where to go? (wearing the boots is not an option given the office based environment she has moved in to),
Hopefully this makes sense,
Thanks,
Jim

Look at mens shoes?

Some have a pretty unisex appearance, e.g. Doc Martens, or you could look at safety trainers.

Arco must have something that fits, surely?

Just had a quick look at the Doc Martens Workman safety shoes on the Arco site.

Ladies sizes 3-8 UK
Mens sizes 6-12 UK

Very similar outward appearance and trainer versions available.

Would that suit or are we looking at bigger than 12?
