Controversial View - footwear

I am disappointed to learn that Seniors will not make custom shoes now.

Fortunately, I have enough to last a while and I tend not to wear out my pumps that quickly.

However, it could be a problem in the future.

I was spoilt by the late Len Smith (a dancer and shoe maker here in New Zealand). He would always make my pumps to measure.

Rhoda Tanner devised a very nice and relatively simple dance for Len - "Our Dancing Soutar" in "The Kauri Collection". It is well worth trying.

I love the idea of information on dancing shoes.  My problem is that I have very wide (and long) feet.  It is virtually impossible to find shoes that fit.  When Senior's made shoes to order, I could order them there, but the new cobbler does not provide this service.  (My feet are US ladies 10 WW for reference).  So, does anyone know where one can purchase dancing shoes in very wide sizes?
