25,000 go ahead & make her happy - get her some anyway if she has commmented on how much she likes yours. May be pick up something else at the same time in case they don't fit.
If they don't fit her I'm sure you will be able to find someone else who they do.
Also suggest go back through the archives & search for " big shoes or big feet " & you should find quite a few posts,including my own on places to get size 9 easily.
Granted a lot of places do only have up to size 40 & insist on you trying them on & that they will fit but I have found that the past year or so it is getting a lot easier to get shoes for bigger size feet.
If anyone with bigger feet wants shoes a bit dressier than the beaded sandals ( dare I say the word "thongs" )I have found Edward Forrer shoe store by Matahari's & Kuta Square very good.Go to the upstairs section.Have heaps in the $12 > under $20 price range.Also have plenty of larger sizes for men.
I also discovered a small store down in Jalan Bunkugsari on the same side as the Nagasari hotel but about 6 shops further up - away from the beach.The man makes very nice leather sandals & has always has plenty on his shelves.If you like a style but he doesn't have your size he makes them up for you.Can't rmember prices but between $4 >$7.
I have also previously had copies of my favourite Dianna Ferrari sandals made up by Nanda leather ( under $20) down in Jalan Padma Utara.About 5 minutes walk North past the MBR.It's right opposite the cushion shop & our favourite tailor Aristo at Merry's collection.If you get to the Circle K store on the the bend in the road you have gone too far.Terry is the man that made my sandals there.
