At least you have Legs Beautiful shops downtown-options but don't know about any sales or try HBC Queen Street hosiery section esp. when there is a sale.
Your friend in Toronto is likely to score shoes at Browns, Harry Young and the odd Hudson Bay (Yorkdale in a few styles and maybe Toronto Eaton Centre) if she goes early when new arrivals come in. Naturalizer if all else fails or Long Tall Sally if she feels like spending money. Does she manage to find shoes at Town Shoes in TEC? In Hamilton, there is a Millers Shoes clearance centre on Upper James St. immediately north of the Linc expwy-some larger sizes there but any Amalfi shoes fit really snugly and soles are hard to walk in on hard floors (I have a pair that I'd use only if standing in a spot in-store when doing a promotion, as I could not walk in them on the sidewalk but they look nice). But prices are in the $59.99 range or higher. Sometimes can find lower prices but rarely if one is past 10 in womens' footwear size.
