Hi Pippy

boy do i wish id kept our aqua shoes!!! we struggled for space coming home last july and so we decided to leave them as they werent expensive and we thought we could easily get more !!! weve used flippers in jamaica, maldives and dom rep since last july but not many people in sharm used them last year . I still much prefer aqua shoes in case i tread on something nasty
Ryan ( my son ) has gone up to adult size 12 and im really struggling . Ive tried sports soccer, primark, tesco, jjb,gilesports, and most sports and shoe shops in leicester and nottingham!!!!! they have plenty of little kids ones but none for adult sizes let alone a whopping 12!!! Im off to a big sunday market at donnington park tomorrow so i will try there . If no luck do i still have time to order and recieve them from e bay or somewhere on line? theres only ryan and myself going this time and we only booked 3 weeks ago so i havent had much time to get organized thats why i thought id get them in naama bay but then i realised that with ryans size i might struggle we go on 21st august !!

Oh dear

Maybe if you post in the topic in the General Hints forum someone in there will know where you can buy larger sizes?

Last July's holiday seems like a terribly long time ago now!

I hope you both enjoy your holiday this year

Pippy

sure does!!!! still was a truly wonderful beach though!!

going to iberotel this time - ryan wants to try an introductory dive if they will allow it for his age.

thanx pippy

I will keep on trying!!!

we got all ours really cheap on e bay last year...and they are still doing us proud back in Cornwall!Got them really quick as well!



( incidently my 12 year old girl is a 5ft 8in size 8 foot! She had an introductory dive last year no hassle!)

yvonney - where in Leicester/Nottm are you? I've seen these shoes in adult sizes in Gillivers shops in Ashby and Coalville - though haven't been in to look recently.

Also try Cotton Traders at McArtur Glen - though they'll be more expensive. Otherwise its the dive shops, GoDive in Derby had them, Stoney Cove at Stoney Stanton probably do too. Apart from all the sports shops, try anywhere that does sailing kit they will most probably flog 'em with their wetsuits too.

Final resort if you know anyone going to the UK seaside lots of the beach shops have cheap neoprene shoes - get someone to bring a pair back for you.

ifsogo.com do size 12. I know the feeling as thats the size my husband takes!

Hi alanwall

we live in loughborough but could drive to coalville easily enough though !

Mc arthur glen was going to be my next port of call after failing miserably to see any at donnington market and there is also a decathalon next to ikea i could try a couple more junctions along on the motorway

might use the phone a bit instead of petrol and ring first to see if they have any!

lisa - i read somewhere that you are supposed to get a size bigger than you actually need for snorkelling shoes - that makes my 13 year old son need a 13 !

thanx
yvonne

try this place, they deliver within a few days, very cheap too.

shoebox on ebay. Do a search on ebay, there are a lot of shops that sell these products and you dont have to be member of ebay.

Paul

Yvooney - that's where you have the advantage (sic) over me. I only work in Loughborough. Have you tried JD in the 'new' precinct. They had some wetsuits last summer.

hi alanwall

the only ones i can find to fit my son in sunny loughborough are some addidas ones adult size 12 but they have no pull cord .I would much prefer that we could tighten them up, as my son takes such a big size they can be a bit wide so the pull cord is going to be best if i can ever find any!!!!!

you dont work in loughboroughs jd sports do you ???

It was JJB sports I meant anyway - and no I don't work there I'm with a large multinational pharmaceutical company. However, I saw some in Milletts in town today.

got our shoes from ebay shop big orange watersports ltd great colours and fit paid about £4 each arrived quick cant wait to wear them going on tuesday to taba
5 days to go

hi alanwall

rushed to milletts today but alas the largest they have left is an adult size 10 so def too small for my son !

thanx anyway - will keep on looking!

got all the hand baggage restrictions to worry about now too!

thanx louise - but they only go up to size 11 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not having much luck am i ????

ifsogo are good sizes, I got mine there last year and am size 8 which fitted well, certainly didn't need to go a size bigger. Good strong soles as well! Good luck!
