I have size 9 1/2 feet (womens) and I can't find any shoes? (UK)?

I’m 14 and I’ve had size 9 feet since I was 12, now I’m 9 1/2, and the whole time I’ve had trouble finding shoes -without having them custom made because they’d cost too much. Anyway I’m completely stuck now because all the size 9 shoes and up I find are either

-too narrow (wide feet too)
-have heels (I don’t wear heels because don’t fancy messing up my spine thank you very much)
-aren’t suitable
-just don’t fit/aren’t comfortable at all

and I’m pretty stuck. I’m really having trouble with school shoes as well because the girls rules for shoes are…
-black shoes (no other colour at all, not even white)
-no heels above 2 inches (wouldn’t wear heels anyway)
-no logos
-no trainers
…so I’ve been wearing the same pair of shoes for two years (in the bin now because it’s the holidays and they were falling apart) and I went back to the same company but they didn’t have anything and I checked the catalogue to see what would be coming in and there wasn’t anything there either.
I know people are telling me that bigger shoe sizes are coming in for women because bigger feet are becoming more common but I sort of need them now, pretty desperate. Literally, I only have three pairs of shoes in existence now, one pair are flip flops that are too small but it doesn’t really matter, another pair are dolly shoes I got for a wedding which don’t fit and I can’t wear them for over an hour or so before getting blisters and cramps, and the last pair are the only ones that actually fit me which are trainers but they’re pink and white (I’m not a pink person =/) and they’re wearing down slowly -the shop where I got these has closed down =/

So does anyone know any shops in the UK that sell big shoes for women? Or even mens’ shoes that are feminine? (I’m desperate.) Don’t say New Look because I check all the time, I got one pair of pumps that fit me but they wore doesn’t and had huge holes so I was basically walking in socks with pump camouflage =/ I know some people will probably see this as a stupid thing but I also need ones that are pretty ‘girly’ for some things because e.g. I have skinny jeans that don’t go with my trainers and only go with my dolly shoes, and I have a huge annual thing coming up where I’ll have to wear a dress with ankle leggings/skinny jeans (I’m that type of person haha) and my trainers wouldn’t go because it’s quite formal

…also please don’t say Brantano because their shoes really aren’t ‘my thing’ and they never fit right either :( or websites that you can’t return stuff to

…plus my maximum spending money on one pair of shoes is about £30 …more like £20 we’ve kinda not got enough to throw around because I’m pretty rough with stuff I wear so they don’t last long haha :)

Thanks in advance for the decent answers :) x
I’ve tried Evans but they didn’t fit, they were too bit in the wrong places because I have thin feet haha (I think I’m part duck…) so they were too big upwards if you could say that haha and I tried insoles but they didn’t work :(
