You Know What They Say About Women With Big Feet Don't You?: Redux With Prizes!

Becky, Amy, and Mike: You have won a pair of shoes. EMAIL ME.

I ventured out to the mall with the family this past weekend. Let's face it. One woman's crappy mall and $2 Carousel is another woman's Jesus, and quite frankly, I have been in need in Jesus. Or at least Jesus in the form of a rotating horse, Mr. Bulkies, and a Chick-fil-a value meal #1.

All was well with the world -- happy toddler, sleeping baby, and fairly unannoying husband until I got this bright idea that since I had lost all this weight now, I might be able to actually wear cool shoes again. You know, ones that aren't hidden in the back of the store on the extra-sale-clearance rack because even though they are only $10 no one wants to buy them.

Hey. They're comfortable! (Isn't that what the old ladies say about their Rockports?). Ack.

Anyway, I walked into Macy's, found some delightful ballet flats and a pair of kick-ass Steve Madden boots, and to my surprise (and much skepticism), they had them in my size.

A 10. Or recovering 10.

Now let me remind you that I'm 5'11" and no matter how big you think my feet are, they are pretty relative to my height. I've gotten the "omg you have such big feet" comments almost my whole life but look here tiny people. It would be really odd to see me wearing a size 6 shoe. In fact, I think I'd fall over. And so yeah, my feet are big. But so am I. You know. We sort of go together. Like Laverne and Shirley. Strawberries and chocolate.

It's tall Kristen and her big feet!

I do admit that in the latter half of my pregnancy, I was unable to wear most of my shoes. I even bought a pair of wides. And, much to my chagrin, I fit into a pair of size 11 Diesel sneakers that just so happened to be on that extra-sale-clearance rack in the back of the store. So sue me. I'll take a pair of Diesel sneaks for $10 any day. At least that's what I told myself as I brought them up to the counter and hid the size from the sales guy.

"These are on the rack back there because of the size, right?" I thought to myself. I mean. God forbid I buy gigantic shoes that are ugly too.

Now I'm not a predjudiced, but I will say I've often thought pretty bad about the size 11. I mean, size 10 is big. But still cool. An 11? Oh man. You must be a giant. And from what I can tell, have absolutely not taste in shoes. Seriously, aren't the most awful looking shoes always an 11? I always felt bad for those people. Until I became one of those people. And then I realized, like clothes sizes, it really doesn't matter so long as they fit and look great.

Stacey and Clinton would be so proud.

So, I try on the shoes at Macy's and except for the one pair of 10's that are too big, everything else is just a little snug. I look at my foot. I look at my baby. I shake my head. And just as I was about to walk away, the chipper salesguy reappears.

"How did they work for you?" he asks, rubbing his hands together as if he thought I was about to buy four pairs of shoes.

I sigh.

"Well. I love the boots, but they're a little snug. Do you have them in an 11?" I asked, boldly going where few women have gone before.

Suddenly, the little man becomes oddly somber and leans into me speaking in a weird strained whisper.

"No, we don't have 11's in those," he says, shaking his head.

"And in fact, we don't carry 11's in ANYTHING."

His eyes bulge. He huffs. He grabs the boxes. And walks away.

Um. Okay. Thanks for that humiliation. And PS. Grown men don't huff.

Honestly, I can't say that I wasn't surprised. But was that really necessary? Because he should know better. I mean we all know what women with big feet have (or at least, this big footed woman).

One big post-partum ass to squish little wiry shoe salesmen.

--

Can you figure out what I'm giving away today?

Okay. Don't think too hard. It's SHOES. Yes! Weeeeee. Easy Spirit is offering three MU readers (with big  feet or small feet) a pair of these spiffy clogs ($79 value!). Now I admit to being a bit scared to go into an Easy Spirit store because, well, you know, but after looking through their Fall catalog and realizing I need comfortable shoes but refuse to wear ones that are fugly, I'm all about them!

These are perfect for Fall and clearly a good mix between comfy and stylish without screaming "I'm a mom of two."

So, just leave me a comment (and while you're there, enjoy the lovely sort of hilarious-sort of vurp inducing comments from random googlers with foot fetishes) and I'll pick three winners at random! Only one entry per person per post.

Funny comments get extra consideration (but no extra entry... sorry!).

Check out The Blog Exchange today! My post is here. And check out LMJ for a new design and updates, superhero alteregos included. Mmmmmmmmmm chicken.

5'10.5" & a size 12. (thanks baby #2 for those fallen arches.) My sister's 5'10" & a size 8 after 2 kids - she also sprains her ankles often (poetic justice?) Gave away all my size 11s & can recommend Aerosoles (in 1999 their NYC store DISPLAYED size 12s! wow!) Also, Clarks has a good variety too. Currently sitting here wearing my husband's new xmas Keens - mine (mens size 11) are on order (sigh).
Agree that Payless & Zappos are good alternatives. I enjoy emailing manufacturers & retailers to get in touch with their customers' real sizes.

[robin]

hi, never posted a comment, but i would love to win a new pair of shoes!

[Stephanie]

Pick me!!!!!!!Pick Me!!!!!!!!Why???Becuz I got some big azz feet. I am only 5ft 2 (and 1/2). I wear a size 10. Wide or Double wide somedays. Why???? Becuz....I had my right foot broke about 9yrs ago when a 250lb man fell on my damn foot. (God rest his soul) I was a nursing assistant, no scratch that...slave at a nursing home and was helping the man from the bed to the chair. Needless to say he was unharmed, but my foot will never be the same. And get this during my last pregnancy I had the pleasure of trying to fit that foot into a size 12ww. Now I dare anyone to top that. Oh, yeah did I mention that only the one foot swelled during my pregnacy, so imagine one size 10 foot and one size 12. lol @ myself.

[VDog]

I'll take 'em -- in a 10!

[In the Trenches of Mommyhood]

I'm a shoe whore. I want those!

[Ifferjenn]

So I won't tell you about how I used to work in a kids' shoe store and found out that my feet will fit in kids' sized shoes. In fact, I still will only buy kids' Sketchers 'cause they're $20 cheaper than the adult sizes! (Pssst!! All you 7's out there...buy size 5 kids shoes! They'll fit!) Oh, and I'm also a whopping 5 feet tall...

More so, I just stopped living with my in-laws as well, in Vegas, and worked at one of the casinos in their HR department. Surprisingly, casinos have the strictest dress codes!!! I wouldn't have been able to wear these clogs to work...I couldn't wear anything with a thick heel. And, considering I had a guaranteed 1/3 mile walk from the employee entrance to my office every day, I had a grand collection of flats. Oh, to wear heels again! To experience life as an average-sized person!

[Dawn @ Coming to a Nursery Near You]

I have 99 bazillion pairs of shoes, or so my husband thinks. Really, there's only a few, and they all live in the closet (probably mating secretly) because they're fugly. They weren't fugly when I BOUGHT them, but they got fugly somewhere along the line, but you know, I'm not gonna throw away perfectly good shoes, even if they ARE fugly. So I totally need some non-fugly shoes, Kristen. MMKMay?

[carolyn]

I remember the good old days, before children, when I wore a 7.5 narrow. A very respectable shoe size. EVERY store carries lots and lots of 7.5s. After the first child, I was up to an 8 B and I learned to accept it, and actually, most stores carry every shoe in an 8 as well. After the second child, I am up to a 9!! and I guess there is no going back, as my second child is 12 YEARS OLD! I am only 5'3", so 7.5 sort of fit my body size, but a size 9? Not so much.

[Anniemom]

Next time tell the dude that Jesus wears a size 11. And if he doens't believe you, he can go ask him - - he's on the carousel, having a Chick-fil-A #1 meal, swinging his big ol' Steve Madden's to the beat of some really good Muzak. (SO wrong...)

[Sarah]

I, too, am a size 10, but I'm only 5'7"! So, to many people that is too big a' shoe for me. I'm a mom of an almost 1 year old (9 days from today) and I would love a new pair of comfy, but cute shoes. I've got to ditch the Crocs that you hate so much :)

[Gwen]

Hmm, I am now a size or so bigger than before I was pregnant. It is ones of those things that you don't get told. If your feet grow in pregnancy they stay that way. :(

[Mrs. Chicky]

I used to be a size 8 (quadruple A!) and 5'8. Then I started shrinking (back problems, condensed spine, eh) but apparently all my height went into my feet, so I was a size 8 1/2 and 5/7 (and a half, dammit) by my late 20's. Then I had a kid and I'm pretty sure I'm 5'7 and a size 9. I'm really frightened for what this next baby is going to do to me.

It's a good thing I only want two because by child 4 I'd be the size of Zelda Rubinstein with a shoe size only Shaq calls normal.

(totally off topic: is there a better screen name than "Tangina"? Sounds like a porn star, not a wee exorcist.)

[Preita]

were you at my macy's? Did you get the same shoe guy I did? You should have seen his reaction when I asked for a size 12.

When they act like asses my retort is "Well, Nordstroms carry up to a size 14 in store. Guess that's what I get for shopping at an upscale target"

Zappos is love.

[Janelle]

Okay, I could totally use a new pair of cute shoes. And while I won't succeed at being humorous, I will tell you that I am 5'5", and a size 9. Ish. Some of my shoes are a ten. And when I was pregnant, with twins? I could not even fit my gi-normous feet into extra large MEN's slippers.

Size may matter, but women with big feet are generally stacked.

[ragtopday]

Ohmygosh - I am so shoe challenged! I have no idea how to buy them or what shoes to wear with what outfit. I feel like a perpetual little kid when it comes to shoes! Help me act my age, not my shoe size, by giving me pre-approved cool shoes!

[Margarita]

I'd love to post something funny, but I'm nursing my 6 week old & as we speak my 3 yo is sleeping so I must make the most of my time. Thanks for understanding!! :)

[Honor]

You need to shop at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack - they have plenty of 10s, and *GASP* 11s. And their salespeople most certainly don't huff.

- A Fellow Size-10 Wearer

[Wisconsin Mommy]

Okay - new jobs pretty much REQUIRE new shoes, right?? Pick me!!!

[Happy Housewife]

I'm usually just a lurker, but those are some cute shoes and I could use something that doesn't scream, "I'm a mother of four!" I'm 5'3" and wear a 7 and a half and get told I have big feet. I don't get it, they seem small to me...I can't imagine shopping for size 10 or 11 shoes...the selection gets worse for each size you go up...

[Cheryll]

Pick me! Pick me! I NEED shoes

[tori]

My feet are size 9.5 and I am NOT tall. Whatever. I'm not clumsy at all...perhaps because I have a nice sturdy base?

[heathersway]

Mine are also an 11 now and I used to be a 10 too. What a nice "little" gift from my second child. An extra shoe size, how did he know?

[Carrie S]

You all are scaring me. I didn't know that your feet grow when you are preggers!

[carmen]

My feet have grown and I need new shoes. Pick me, pretty please!

[Bethany]

I also wear a size ten. I need some cute shoes!

[Laurie]

I hear your pain, I am 6' tall and I wear a size 12. And if you think the shoes in size 11 are ugly, wait til you see the selection in size 12. I mean seriously, just because we have big feet means that we have no sense of style? Doesn't that mean we have a bigger need for cuter shoes to get over the fact that we have big feet? I tell ya, when designers start to notice women with big feet, they will become billionaires!

[Brianna]

I have a 2 year old. You would think that in 2 years, I would have bought more than one pair of dress shoes that fit my newly (well 2 year newly) expanded foot. But, I have not. Everytime I go to buy shoes, I end up purchasing for my 2 year old instead. As a result, my 2 year old has a better shoe wardrobe than I ever had and me? I actually try to coordinate my outfits so they match my one pair of shoes. It is quite sad.

[Jenine]

Oh the woe of shoes and poor pregnancy feet!

When I got pregnant with my first, I had thought I had gotten away without any pregnancy symptoms. Was I wrong when I hit my 8th month. My feet swelled up like balloons. By the middle of a working day, I was wearing slippers.

When I was pregnant with my second, my pregnancy symptoms started straight off but my poor feet held off on the swelling until 1/2 at least 1/2 way through. Thankfully this time, I wasn't working, and I just went with socks.

My third was the killer. Pregnancy symptoms in triplicate from the get-go. The feet? Barefoot from the second month on. Did it get worse? Aw hells yeah! Third time charm my ass. C-section in the 21st hour when five hours of pitocin didn't do a damned thing. Extreme bloating following. Had to go to numerous post partum checks wearing MY HUSBANDS SLIPPERS. Four sizes larger than my shoes, in a male size, and they were TIGHT.

Two years later, my feet still aren't the same. I'm in one of those 'in between' sizes and nothing fits right except my open toe and heel sandals. Good thing it's hot as hell here.

And shame on shoe salespeople that scoff at people's shoe sizes. Isn't fitting people part of why they get paid? What IS with the service industry these days!?!

[LawyerMama]

Oh, dude. Ouch.

I had the opposite problem with shoes. Until I had kids I wore a 5 1/2, which no one ever carries. But I'm a munchkin, so big surprise. Now I have a normal 6 1/2 size foot. You're probably ready to smack me, but if it helps - I can never find bras to fit me. The girls are too damn big and that's NOT a good thing. Salespeople look at me like I'm a freak of nature, so I feel your pain.

[Mike]

I'm not really into women's shoes, but my wife wears a Men's 11 and I wear a 15. Our children are screwed. My poor daughter. When I find shows in my size that aren't made for Frankenstein I buy them immediately.

[Burning Prairie]

Stumbled upon your site through LMJ and have enjoyed your posts about your in-laws. Bless your heart. But I had to comment on this post because I feel your pain, from the other end of the bell curve. I wear a size 5. I wrote a post about my delightful experiences with shoe clerks, here's the link:
http://burningprairie.vox.com/library/post/the-curse-of-the-tiny-feet.html

[Robyn]

I'm also 5'11" and pregnancy pushed me to an 11 as well. It's sooo fun to shop. I actually need a 10.5 but we all know THAT'S too much to ask for by an amazonian woman with big feet.

Ah well. I just figure bigger feet mean when I'm kicking the asses of the psycho suburban soccer moms that seem to surround me, I make more contact.

Does alliteration count for extra points too? ;)

[Jill H.]

I'm 5'2" - and wear a 9 or 9.5 wide post children. I feel for those with huge feet - but I have the same problem - there are precious few cute shoes in wide.

There ought to be a law - cute shoes for all!

[Caroline]

The comments alone are worth a read. Nothing funny, just some big tootsies here. Clogs would be nice. ;)

[ImpostorMom]

I managed to escape the growing feet of pregnancy. Well at least post-partum anyway. I recently put on the shoes I lived in while I was pregnant and they were a little loose. If only I could say I had escaped the growing ass of pregnancy.

[maggie]

Oy. For years I was a size 10. And hated it, because shoes in a size 10 NEVER went on sale, and I'm cheap that way. After a baby, they crept up to an 11. And I'm only 5'6". What fascinates me though is that it always used to be hard to find a 10, but now I usually have no problem finding an 11. And I'm over it - if the shoes fits, I'm there. Though, forget about sales - still never happens.

[Lisa]

I too am a lurker but have to chime in on this one.

All I have to say is- I WEAR A SIZE 12 PEOPLE!!! SO please, give a girl a break and for once let her wear a decent pair of shoes. All I can find in my size are crocs or mens shoes Blah and double blah! And did I mention that my feet are skinny so these options don't work very well either!!!! My toes are so long that they look like fingers and I have on many occasions threated to cut off my toes just so I can wear a pretty pair of shoes!!

True story...
I went to a department store and asked the salesman what size they went up to in their woman's shoes. He said, "10- why what size do you need?" I swallowed hard in an attempt to hide my humiliation and said, a 12!" To this he replied, "Mam, they only thing I have to fit you is the BOX!" I laughed and told him that he is lucky that I have a good sense of humor and warned him about woman with big feet. The next time I hear, "My, what big feet you have", I will proudly reply, "yes, the better to kick you where the sun don't shine-sucker!!!!

Another story about the size of my feet: http://familosinsweethomealabama.blogspot.com/2007/08/you-know-youre-over-30-when.html

[Fiesty]

I wear an eleven on a good day. It's such a pain in the butt! Once upon a time, long before kids, I worked at an Easy Spirit and was provided with free shoes every 3 months. It was heaven!! Anyway, the clogs look great and will be amazingly comfortable!

[Rachel]

I totally feel your pain, only worse. I too am a size 10-ish (sometimes bigger, somtimes wide, sometimes nothing fits) but I am only 5'4". So it doesn't balance out. I look like a clown. I never wear pointy toes because then I look like a witch clown. :( Not that my fat toes fit into pointy shoes anyway... unless I buy 11.

[Belinda Garza]

ok, i lurk your site religiously...but now must speak up and tell you I MUST win those shoes. You see, and I am serious here...I was diagnosed with neuropathy about 10 months ago (very painful) and have been going through a serious depression because of the loss of so many abilities. (Such as moving, walking well, etc.)...BUT THE WORSE...is having to wear UGLY shoes just to be able to stand the pain. I can have all my nice clothes, etc...but what does it matter when the shoes are UGLY...and to buy comfortable AND stylish shoes, one must be able to cough up, oh, say $79 (or lots more)! Simply cannot do that on my budget...and that, my friend, is why I should be the winner of those stylish yet comfy shoes I so covet!

[Jen]

Comment for Free shoes!

Hey - you have Size 10 feet - I have ultra wide feet - we're kindered spirits, I tell ya! I can't wear peep toe shoes or most sandals because my feet are too short to reach to the top of the sandals in the size whereby the width actually fits! CRAZY!

[rain]

LOVE those shoes!

[Scout's Honor]

Okay, scary to say, but my feet grew a half size for each pregnancy. So we started at a 7-1/2 and now 9's are snug. Did I mention that big feet run in the woman on my husband's side. I fear for my daughter. My sister-in-law is an 11. If my daughter gets that gene, plus the pregnancy exploding gene on my side, holy fucklords almighty, we might as well crash champagne on her feet that pass as boats, she'll be a 12/13. Perhaps this is why we stopped at three kids. To top it off? My sister wears a size 5! Hate her! Hate her!

[Beth]

Oh Me!! Pick Me!! Gotta love that Easy Spirit!!!

[Michele]

Size 10+ here. I was a 10, then became a 10 WIDE when pregnant, and now I am what I call a 10-plus. Some 10's fit, and some dont. And sometimes, as Dolly would have said, a 10 feels so good I wear an 11.

[Cindy C]

I feel your pain Kristin. The last time I shopped in the women's shoe section at the local store, even the frigging 11's were too tight.

[becky]

I feel for you on the shoe thing. Why is it so hard to find cute, comfortable shoes?

I'm not as tall as you are, Kristen, but I'm not a slight-framed woman. So tall heels? Are out. They hurt my feet.

If you have any hints about where else to find cute, comfy, affordable shoes, I'm all ears. And feet.

[Lauren]

OK, don't scoff at me, but I've been having the same "holy-sinking-rowboats my feet are HUGE!" moments. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and now need a size 8 to 8/12... now wait... I'm 5'2". That's a lot of foot for a short woman.
And heels? Fuggedaboutit. What's that Chris Rock line about fat feet in pumps? "Looks like she's bakin' bread in those shoes!"
Looking into my closet full of 7 1/2 Nine West hipster footwear makes me weep...
On a side note- a tall GF of mine who wears an 11 said the key is to befriend a drag queen and find out where he buys his shoes. Seriously! Fashionable, even sexy shoes in large sizes!

[ktjrdn]

The whole internet is talking about shoes today!

[Nickie]

I don't have the big shoe problem, no. I have the opposite problem. My foot is smaller than any of my friends. Of course, I'm only 5'3", but considering I've carried and delivered four children, I a large 5'3", with a largish small foot. When not padded with extra weight (that I like to blame on pregnancy still even though the youngest is now two), I wear a size 6. Since I have a little extra padding, I have to get sevens. Sometimes I get lucky and can find a 6 or 6 1/2 wide width, but the majority of the shoes in my closet are, in fact, sevens. Open toed shoes are out of the question for me!

[Wyliekat]

I have this problem, only it's with boobs, not feet. I looooove walking into a lingerie store, only to have the nice salespeople deliberately avoid looking at my chest as they somberly inform me that they don't have things in my size.

The last time I went to a specialty store, I had to pay 200 for one bra. ONE!?! And what's worse, my saleslady was perfectly content to tell me that they didn't own anything in a smooth bra that would cover my girls adequately. Like . . . WHAT THE F%$K am I supposed to do? Free-girl it?

Worst moment of my boobular life -standing outside a bra store and realizing that my bike cost less than the bra I had in my other hand.

Yeah. Shoes/boobs - anything not found in clothing stores gets to make you feel like a freak of nature.

However, I do love me some shoes . . . ;-}

[Angie in Texas]

look at all the comments! i thought only people in texas came all out when free stuff is offered. . . and what's with all the "i love big footed women" men?!

one of my friends is always teasing me bc i have such small feet! i like her's - they're the right size (proportionate) for her body.

all women, deep down inside or not-so deep, LOVE shoes!!!

[Heather]

Damn Kristen....when you talk about free shit, people come out of the woods and comment, don't they? The "free" duck, now free shoes.

Deep down inside, every woman is a shoe whore.

I'm lucky that I don't have to dig too deep to find my inner shoe whore.

[Jenn]

I went to Rack Room Shoes here in lovely North Mississippi (NOT!!) amd was told that why yes we do carry size 11 shoes (I've worn an 11 since the birth of psychochild #1), they only carry ONE pair in 11's for each style. I looked at this woman and asked her why in the hell would they do that, didn't she know that there were many Amazon women that wore 11's. She looked back at me with that blank stare that Mississippians have when you say something that they don't get, and offered to search that other "local" store for 11's for me. Needless to say, I told her not to bother. You know what, she still that THAT look on her face as I was walking out of the store......

Thanks to your commenters that suggested Nordstroms, I'll be shoe shopping all day now thank you very much!

[Vicky]

My feet "grew" after I had my second baby. I thought they would return to their normal size 9 but no such luck. I'm only 5'6". I now proudly wear a size 10. I consider it one of the costs of having babies.

[JessicaB]

WoW!at the freaks that found their way here. Before children I wore and 8.5 (I'm 5'6") Now 3.5 months postpartum with my second child I just bought size ten. My poor feet have still not recovered and size ten looks a little funny on a shorter person. I need stylish shoes:)

[Amy]

Free shoes! Wuhoo!

I'm freakishly short (5'0") and of course, I have small feet. That's just the way it works. When I was in high school I worked at a tuxedo shop and I had men all the time argue with me about how even though they were relative short, they had really long arms or vice versa. Sure, there are freaks out there, but mostly people are proportional when it comes to height and bodily appendages. (And I say freak in the most loving way possible.)

I wore most of my shoes throughout both of my pregnancies, but after my kids were born I couldn't walk out of the hospital because I was so swollen that I couldn't get my shoes on. After I'd been home two days I had to ask a friend who wore a size shoe two sizes bigger than me to bring her shoes over and drive me to the store because I didn't have any shoes that fit!

[Allison]

Ohh!!!

[LannaGirl]

Well, great. Now I have more competition for cool size 10s in Atlanta. By the way, a lot of grown men in Atlanta walk off in a huff....especially in Buckhead.

[miss sexy size 9-11]

I'm tall gooding sexy that all the men love me you see they do not look at my feet they can not even till that my feet are big coz I work it and maek my size 9 look good to eat so big foot women work it there is no need to cry are feet mack us sexy kisses.

[marcy]

i stumbled on this by accident! yes, i have big feet, by the time i was 10, my feet were already a ten; it's been very frustrating. but it is getting better. there are more sites and a few more stores now that have stylish shoes for ladies with my size feet. these go to 11!!
happy to have found you all!

best;

[John]

I have such small feet for a guy.

Am a size 6, but my gf has really big feet (size 10)

I always play footsie with her but she wins because her feet is much bigger than mine (like 2" longer)

Do other girls mined if a guy has smaller feet than her, because my gf doesn't

[Tony T]

I can only add my name to the list of others below as another male who greatly appreciates the look of big feet on women. I feel for you that you can't get nice shoes for those sizes, because us guys would love to see your wonderful big feet wearing sexy shoes when it is too cold or the occasion too formal for you to be showing them off in open footwear like flip-flops. With some exceptions, women's feet can be every bit as beautiful as any other parts of the body and of course the bigger they are, the more there is for us to admire and (if we're very lucky) to hold and caress. Some label us footlovers as freaks, just as you have found that some label you big-footed women as freaks. Those people should have a good close look at themselves before making such judgements.
So, all you big-footed ladies, paint up those toenails in lovely bright eye-catching colours and walk proudly, watching the reaction from us guys. If you see any of us looking closely, ask if we're enjoying what we see ... I'm sure that in most every case you'll be pleasantly surprised!!!

I took my 10 year old daughter out for sneakers and she measures a women's size 11.5 (US)! It took me two pregnancies to get to a 9.5. She loves to shop for shoes and I don't know what I am going to do. If she is 11.5 now...what will she be when she is done growing?

Ever since I can remember, certain people have always made me feel horrible about my legs. Big feet, big legs! Yet the rest of me was a nice coca cola bottle shaped figure. I thought, I was cursed.

But ladies, I came for support, in tears I am truly thanking you for sharing your stories.

It` s about time that someone opened up a shop for women with big feet! We want pretty shoes too! We want pedicures too! We want to feel sexy too!

I` m going to be seriously thinking about how to set up a shop for women with big feet `n big legs.

[Foot lover]

Damn! i wanna meet u girls........i am a small guy (5'1") and i only wear a size 5 mens! i love hanging out with girls that have bigger feet than me....i find it very sexy.....i love big feet on women!

[Valerie]

I am only 14 and there has not been a one day during school, a schoolmate comes up to me or yells across a hallway or classroom
"DAMN VALERIE! WHY ARE YOUR FEET SO BIG?" or "WOW! U have big feet for a girl". It makes me want to break down in tears because I know I have big feet [size 11.5] and I love shoes a lot but I know I can't go shoe shopping as much as other kids my age because the shoes I like aren't in my size. So I just stick to black sneakers and long jeans even through the summer on HOT days. If there was a type of surgery I could get to make my feet smaller I will ask my dad in a heart beat, and not so the teasing would stop but so I could enjoy shoe shopping.
I was reading all the comments and I got tired after reading half of them because there were SOOO MANY! I never knew there were this many women with size 10+ shoes this actually makes me smile knowing that I am not alone. But I wonder are there any models with huge feet? Because I have been told I should go into modeling because of my height[I'm 5'9"].

[Dave]

What do they say about women with big feet? Seriously. I don't know...

I agree with you all! I take a UK 12 which i think converts to a US 14!! and i cannot find shoes anywhere that are suitable for a 25 year old female to wear in public!! I end up wearing mens trainers! sucks!!

Hello Kristen,

[Christy]

I understand how everyone here feels... im only 5'7 but wear a size 11 and sometimes a 12 in heels!! Don't you hate it when you have to go to 10 stores just to find one that actually sells a size 11/12 only to find that the only shoes they carry in those sizes are hideous? and those wonderful sales people are always so kind with their... um we dont carry those sizes here... one even told me once to check out a drag queen store because men have bigger feet to fit into heels.. the nerve of that man.. anyway.. i liked the sit it in idea... we need to get stores to sell shoes for EVERYONE!

[Mama C-ta]

See, I tell my husband things could be worse - he thinks wearing a 9 is bad ;) Granted, I'm about 5 inches shorter than you. But my sis wears a 10.5 and she's not as tall as you either. You sound wonderfully proportionate.

And I didn't even realize you mentioned diesel shoes in this post before leaving my comment about them in the last post. I'll always be a diesel fan. I just can't help it. But how can I score a pair for $10??

[pixie sticks]

Zappos is the only way to go. Sure, Nordstrom carries size 11 shoes. Lots of them. All perfect - if you're a drag queen.

[Audrey]

I was a ten - ten and a half...now that I'm pregnant, I'm definately wearing an 11 and the only shoes my feet have seen for the last several months have been the three pairs of Merrells that I've bought. I can only cringe when I think that my feet will probably grow with each pregnancy...

[D Regina]

I'm a size 11, and I have to second what women said above - go zappos. Because our size doesn't exist at the shoe store. Grrr!

[Kristen]

Actually, I love zappos -- and you know what. There's something to be said about trying shoes on in the comfort of your own home.

Screw them.

And PS -- want to start a BIG FOOT CLUB, anyone? We can bask in our big footed glory and wear our "I used to be cool" t-shirts.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[margalit]

Welcome to my world, fellow Sasquatch. It is not a fun place to be. I highly recommend Nordstroms, as they do carry 11 in certain very non-stylish but comfortable shoes. And I also recommend staying away from mail order, because it will depress you beyond belief. Just don't do it. You'll end up in tears.

Signed,
10.5 or 11 WIDE

[Lady M]

I was going to stun you with how large my feet are (8-8.5) for my height (5'2), but everyone's already done that. So I can only send you good wishes for really, really excellent shoes in the right sizes arriving in stores near you. ;)

[anotherkristen]

MY NAME IS KRISTEN. I AM 5'11". I WORE A SIZE 10 UNTIL I HAD MY SECOND CHILD. NOW I HAVE GIVEN UP ON 10'S COMPLETELY. REPEAT AFTER ME....."ZAPPOS.COM" THINK OF IT THIS WAY: YOU GET MORE SHOE FOR YOUR MONEY!

[amanda]

Can you imagine if all of us size 10+ers headed into one of these stores together and just did a sit in...I know, I'm a totall dork, but my god, it's intoxicating hearing from all these other "perfect 10s" and better.

[K&D]

Sigh. Size 10.5 Wide here, at only 5'5" tall. I only shop online for shoes, and even there it's hard to find things that fit, except for New Balance sneakers.

[Andi]

It is amazing to me how many of my friends have size 10 feet. I can think of 3 of my closest female friends who wear size 10s. I've finally embraced my giant feet...

[motherofbun]

Gah. What a jackass. Shove one of your old shoes up his butt and see what happens.

[mothergoosemouse]

What a jerk. I hope you report him, because that kind of response is just unnecessary.

I need to start taking Stacy and Clinton's advice myself.

[gunfighter]

Some adult men huff... be they aren't straight.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[Christina]

I wear a size 10 also, sometimes a size 11. (and I'm 5'7) Of course, you can find 11's if you look - the hard part is finding the damn 10.5! Half sizes apparently don't matter past size 10. At that point, I guess they figure if you have feet that big, comfort doesn't really matter anymore.

And my feet tend towards wide as well, which when combined with the larger size, means there is no such thing as "cute" shoes for me.

You should have kicked him with your giant foot. I bet it would have hurt.

And for the record I grew up with the nickname "Kangaroo Feet". Long and narrow. I'm 5'7 (and a half, thankyouverymuch) and since my daughter was born I wear a size 9.

[InterstellarLass]

My 'average' size 8's grew to an 8.5 and then a 9 and then a 9.5. No, I can wear anything from a 8.5 to a 10, depending on the shoe, the phase of the moon, and the part of Donald Trump's hair.
