Great Shoes for Large Sizes
Friday, April 13th, 2007I have big feet, size 11 to be exact. The club of girls with size 11’s is by no means small. Even Paris Hilton is a size 11, as are many girls that are tall. But we are discriminated against by the buyers in shoe stores. Just check out the sale racks. There are TONS of shoes from 5-9. But get over a size 10 and there is nothing there. Why? Because there weren’t that many in the first place to buy, and when a big foot girls see a cute shoe in her size, gues what? We buy it, sale or no sale.
One of my readers asked this question a few days ago:
Hi Tracey,
I hope it’s ok for me to post this here but I was wondering if you had
any tips for people with large and wide feet seeking stylish shoes.
Payless shoes is pretty much the only option we girls of size 11W (and
larger) feet have! I’d love to read on what options are out there for
women with large and wide feet, and I’m sure my narrow footed sisters
would love to read about shoes for them too!
Thanks!
One of my fellow bloggers, Andrea has an excellent site for large shoe sizes, with many options listed. I happen to shop at Nordstrom on a regular basis and they do a great job with large sizes. The key for me has been that I am a regular shopper. Not that I always buy, but I’m seen frequently in the store. I have one person that helps me. He knows what I like. So when new arrivals are fresh in the store, guess who gets the first call on size 11’s? That’s right, none other than the shoe diva herself!
Here is my latest score, a super comfortable and stylish Taryn Rose wedge from Nordies:
So I would suggest the same for you. If there is a local store that you patronize, let them know your wants and needs. Believe me, anyone shoe sales person would love to just have someone they can call for a quick sale!
Also, for online shopping, Zappos does lots of stylish shoes in large sizes. I mean LOTS!
I hope this is helpful!
