for larger feet. Rio Hill Shopping Center’s Pay Less Shoes sell women’s
shoes up to size 13 (men’s size 11).There are websites that sell larger sized
shoes as well.
Some shoes
have been purchased by SARA or donated, but we encourage you to bring your own
and be creative. If you have trouble finding shoes, call SARA.
