Im looking to get hold of a pair of size 17 shoes for the boat. Footplates arn't needed. The guy is 6'7 and currently can row. Im from the UK, however, shipping is possible. Haven't managed to find and distributors here yet. They must be out there somewhere!! Any advice welcome, thanks,
Josh

You could try contacting Vespoli. They list up to size 15 on their site:

In the meantime, you could attach heel cups (available from Maas Boats for $5 each) and straps, either making your own from wide Velcro or else getting the straps from Maas ($37 and very nicely made.) I much prefer clogs in the form of heel cups and straps to shoes but I realize some rowers prefer shoes to clogs. Maybe your rower wouldn't mind clogs. Here is a link to the Maas heel cups and straps:

Maybe there is a better source for heel cups and straps in the UK.
