Hi my name is Stacy i have a 7 year old nephew who has muscular distrophy and as a result he has swollen feet and we cant find suitable footwear anywhere. He is a size 9 and a half and is an I in width.
If anyone has any suggestions where to find suitable footwear, please let me know.

Hi

Have you spoken to Clarks HQ?  They may be able to help.

Also, if he needs special shoes then he should be referred to the Orthotics Depratment at hositpail.  Orthotics is not just for people who need "special" shoes but for those of us who need shoes which are not the norm.

If not look for a bespoke shoe maker in the Yellow Pages and given them a call.  They may be able to point you in the right direction to getting off the shelf shoes.
