Buckle Brogues-like finding the holy grail!

[NorCalPiper]

I need help. I wear a size 14, but have found that in brogue sizes I need a 15. I need to pick up some buckle brogues before July and I can't for the life of me find a company that makes them in that size. I'm a distributor for thistle, but theirs cap at 13. Does ANYONE know who might make a size 15us? Any help on this appreciated!

Search for Geoffrey. He sells buckle brogues, and might have your size.

why not Google "buckle brogues" You may have to convert your size 15 into british sizes with www.online conversion.com/clothing.htm

Sorry, double post

I "believe" tartanWeb & ScotWeb use the same supplier as I do "Thistle Shoes", but they only make buckleers up to 13 UK "ARRRRGHHH!!!". I can get online and start grinding and put myself on the hunt, but I was hoping a ready made lead might help me greatly, and there is no better place than the XMARKS for that! Any help appreciated!

Have you tried these? They are by Thistle Shoes, but they list UK size 14.

Thats what's listed, but if you read on-There is only 1 pair in stock and its 12. The size diagram that thistle shoes sends vendors show what sizes are available for sale, and 13 is the highest the buckle brogue goes to. I've sent them an email and await their response, but I don't think I'll hold my breath. Shoe molds are EXTREMELY expensive, and I mean shockingly so. I'm not sure the amount of sale for size 15 would make the investment worth it. There is a youtube video of a guy in Czech Republic who makes shoes and has a demo of him making brogues, but he said he just couldn't do it for this size.....Why the H%*@ did I have to be so gargantuan? This has been like a life long issue with me and I SWEAR it gets tiresome. Thanks for the input though.
