    Hi Chrissie

    Wonderful advice you have given. Rivers do have a reasonable selection of the larger size. But if trying to get shoes from smaller stores, be honest with whom you are! You’re more than likely to get better service from them if you’re upfront. If not, there is always another store.

    I’ve always found that being open and up front with staff when buying either shoes or clothing is without doubt the best policy. Staff are, in the main very helpful and will put themselves out to ensure you have the right purchase and what you buy fits. Oh yes, there is the occassional hidden sneer or total silence when paying, but then they have a problem; it’s not yours. After all sales staff are not idiots, they know the clothes are for you, so why hide. Your money is as good as any, it’s a sale. Good luck.
