I have searched for a while after rubberboots with broad heels up to 3" and have had no succes.
Do anone know about where to buy this size 13?

If you mean the high heeled wellies that were fashionable in the early 80s they're like rocking horse poo in the "normal" sizes let alone big sizes.

high heeled wellies (rain boots) can be found, doing a google search. Finding a size 13 is a bit more difficult.
Starting at:
http://www.alaska.net/~kathryn/heels.htm
There is, for example:
http://www.barefoottess.com/c=zm79teQR7 ... s_wellies/ but no high heel
Women's size 13 boots, but no wellies,

I couldn't see any high heel rainboots...
A google search will return results that include high heel and rainboots. Firms that sell both will be listed but not neccesarily firms that sell high heel rain boots, assuming such things are available.

OK, plenty in "normal sizes" if they're not sold out or have 1000pair minimum order. None in size 13 though.

Remember UK and US shoe sizes are different, I am an 8 in the UK but a 10 in the US. Plenty of size comparison sites on the net.

Yes I know. But normal US sizes go up to 11 if you're lucky. They normally stop at 10s.
The investment in making a pair of molded rubber boots is so huge that I doubt they'll ever make anything other than the "popular" sizes. A three part steel mold for injection molding will cost the best part of £4,000 for a simple one.

Deena, what size is your foot from the male shoe size? I am having a hard time finding anything reasonably priced that will fit me.

I use mens size 11 and women shoes size 13. It seems that will do it in most cases for me. I have had a sports accident many years ago and must have broad heels but thats ok.
