The Best Stores for Wide Width Shoes

Dear Budget Fashionista,
I love shoes, I want shoes, but I have a bunion and need wide shoes (I wear a 7w). I’m nervous about buying online because the fit is so important, especially with wide feet. When I shop in store, all I can find are elderly orthopedic shoes. Is it possible to buy wide stylish shoes?

The Deal: Up to 25% Off Summer Sale and Clearance at Avenue.com!
The Lowdown:People tend to sleep on the Avenue. It could be their lack of advertisement (only a few ads here and there) compared to the ubiquitous Lane Bryant ads. It could be the fact that Avenue stores tend to be located in the worst part of the mall, in between Easy Spirit and Orange Julius. Whatever the reason, we like Avenue’s selection of casual, yet trendy, affordable apparel options, perfect for the plus size fashionista that has graduated from Torrid, but doesn’t have the loot for Lane Bryant.
