Does anyone have a recommendation for climbing shoes?

I'm a size 13 in street shoes and have Broad feet.

Struggling to find shops I can go to to try on. Go outdoors only had 1 size 13 (red chilli Sausalito) and they were to narrow. They had a 12 that was wide enough (red chilli spirit) but just a tad too short and don't do a 13.
The other 4 size 12's I tried were all too short so definitely think I'm needing a 13.

The climbing centre I go to has a DMM climbing shoes that I've been renting.

So yeah any recommendations would be awesome and I'll try find a shop near Manchester where I can go try some on,

Available massive and pretty wide.

Warning: not ultra high performance by all accounts.

Cheers I'll see if I can find somewhere that has them in stock.
I'm just getting started so I'm not too worried about getting a majorly technical shoe just yet.

I'm loving my Jokers.. second pair of shoes after a Climb X/Go Outdoor pair that got me going. Think they'll last me a long time to come yet!

Might be worth trying a Decathlon store if you can find one locally. They often have large-sized shoes available.
