There are shoe making companies who will create a bespoke design and fit for you... it tends to cost a fair bit though! ;-) I've got quite wide feet myself, so I feel your pain honey: tiny, delicate shoes + my feet = agony! >:-/

Those are Gorgeous!
Unfortunately, my feet are very wide too, so those boots would never fit.
Some more boot-porn:

I will probably resort to having a pair of boots custom-made eventually. The price would be worth it. I always have to pay a lot for shoes anyway; I can't just go to a shoe store and pick up what's on sale. I have to order wide widths online.
What's even *more* annoying than having wide feet? Having feet that are wide at the toe and narrow at the heel. Thus, any shoe that's wide enough for my toes is going to slip up and down on my heel. My mother thinks it's amusing to refer to my feet as "duck feet." 
As an interesting aside, I've noticed that English brands of shoes are wider than American brands.

I think a thread about gothic shoes would be lacking without a mention of Scary Godmother, who has the best spooky shoe collection of all!

Argh! That's exactly the problem I have; tiny, delicate ankles and heels, but wide feet and long toes... it's really annoying isn't it? Tell your mum from me that it's NOT funny. *blows raspberry at TOIB's mum*
Who is the Scary Godmother, by the way? That pic's cool! :-D

Hmmm... I don't think they've got a side zipper, but these ones are gorgeous !!

Argh I've decided I hate Demonia! They don't consider lasses like myself with wide feet! I finally found a shop in my town centre that sells them. I pick up a pair of patent ankle boots & attempt to slip them on, when halfway through I can't get my toes through to the end. I then checked the size & found it was 4-5. So then I tried the next size up. Still got my toes through to the end. & the next size up still contained the problem. I unlaced the boots as I thought that might be the problem. Still didn't get my toes through. So I decided to try on the Demonia M.J style patent shoes. Still the same problem! Right, now I have no chance of fitting the Demonia boots I'd originally planned to buy *sigh* I spent ages saving for them, I guess I'll have to forget any chance I had of buying a nice pair of patent boots.

Scary Godmother is a Halloween-inspired fairy godmother. She's the star of her own comic drawn by Jill Thompson. http://www.jillthompsonart.com/
Everything in her world has a touch of Halloween. I use the paintings as inspiration for fashion and home decoration!
For example, I saw Scary Godmother's slippers...
 
... and made similar ones for myself.

As far as I know, there aren't any Hot Topic-stores where I live. I usually buy my shoes at cheap regular shoe-stores, and sometimes I make some alterations to them to make them more special (I've painted parts of my normal black boots silver, and they look gorgeous).

Yes, it's cute, and I'm sure if everyone wears it, you'll look the best in it.
I don't order shoes online because I have very difficult feet, they're wider than usual at some parts, so I really need to try them on first. But thanks for the tip!

Oh the strappy shoes Cristina Scabbia has are gorgeous! (they were from Italy)
I'm not getting those one's anymore. My mother persuaded me that my calve's are too fat & I should get ankle boots instead. I don't mind, but I was looking for knee-high boots originally.

I read on their website that she found her shoes in a drag queen clothes shop. I found some similar in a shop in my town centre, but I was too busy to try them on.

Translation? But Cristina Scabbia is famous & can afford stuff like that. I must admit, not alot of people have heard of Lacuna Coil. I'm a stranger to here, not a lot of people like me.

Maybe she meant she's new here? Or she thinks that I shouldn't go after those shoes because Cristina Scabbia is famous & they're those type of shoes that only people with money can buy?
I think I'm confused.
