People will generally be opposed to it to begin with when they don't understand it that well. After time, and some help from you and the internet...she might come to understand it more and turn out to be your new bestie when it comes to shopping! but it just depends on the person's I suppose. As for shoes, where do you live? If you live in the US, I say try Payless Shoes, they have a large selection of heels in US size 11 and up to size 16 I believe if you live in the UK, there are a lot of websites that sell nice shoes in larger sizes.
