Strappy Suede Sandals Changed My Life!
I really enjoy sharing this story with anyone who will listen. It was definitely a life changing moment in my life:
In March 2006, I had the opportunity to take a weekend trip to New York to see a Broadway play. Of course, my friends and I found time for a little sight-seeing and shopping. Have you ever been to Macy’s in New York? It’s just overwhelming. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I headed straight for a gorgeous pair of strappy, light-brown sandals. Mesmerized by this exquisite pair of shoes, I found a sales clerk and quietly asked her for a size 11. She politely took the shoe and went to the back and a couple of minutes later she came back to tell me what I already knew, “Sorry, this shoe doesn’t come in Big Foot Size.” Of course, that’s not what she said. After I worked through a few seconds of extreme disappointment, the sales lady asked me a simple, but life changing question, “Would you like to know who makes shoes in your size?” This simple, yet profound question was a definitive turning point in my life. Why hadn’t I ever thought to look up that information or even ask? Years and years of disappointment and embarrassment could have been avoided.
Somehow, I felt empowered by knowing names of designers who create beautiful shoes in my size. I actually felt better about the size of my feet. I wanted other women to feel better too.
That’s why I created my first digital product, “Your Feet Make You Unique: Tips For Women Who Wear Size 10 and Up.” Now women can instantly access information about the kind of shoes they want to wear in their size. I’ve also included practical tips and other information that will make women feel better about the size of their feet and make their lives just a little easier.

Wonderfully Made
When I was younger, I used to cram my size 11 feet into shoes that were clearly too small. Because I didn’t accept the fact that my feet were wonderfully made, now I have curled toes, better known as hammertoes. It’s always better to accept the feet God gave you. Believe Me!
Accept everything about yourself — I mean everything, you are you and that is the beginning and the end — no apologies, no regrets. – Clark Moustakas
Happiness can exist only in acceptance. – Denis De Rougamont
Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.
- ThinkExist.com Quotations. “Acceptance quotes”
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14
- The Bible (KJV)
To be happy, it first takes being comfortable in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there.
- Sophia Brown
Women with ample feet are truly unique.

The Quest For Large Size Shoes
If you wear a size 10 or larger shoe, you have probably experienced challenges in finding styles that will fit your feet. Shoe stores will often carry a very limited supply of large size women shoes, and often styles need to be special ordered. Department stores generally don’t carry sizes larger than 11. However, retailers are slowly coming to the realization that women’s feet are getting bigger. Soon, the quest for large size women shoes may be a distant memory. In the past, shoe buyers were reluctant to buy big inventories of large shoe sizes. This made sense as the average woman wore a size 6 or 7. Women with larger feet were forced to choose from a few unflattering styles if there was any availability at all. These days, large size women shoes sell quickly. The most commonly purchased size is now an 8 1/2 and over 30 percent of women are buying shoes in a size 9 or above. Because of the demand, retailers are scrambling to fill their racks with shoes sized up to 14. Along with the retailers, shoe manufacturers are paying attention to the growing size of women’s feet. High-end shoe designers, such as Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik are creating their styles in sizes up to 12, and sometimes higher. The online retailers have taken this trend to a new level by developing virtual stores that solely cater to large size shoes. A woman can now choose from hundreds of styles that are readily available in her size. Along with being able to shop from the comfort of home, many of these online retailers offer top notch customer service, free shipping, and lower prices than those at traditional stores. This new availability is certainly a welcome relief for every woman who has struggled to find a pair of flattering, large size shoes. While once the selection of sizes 9 through 14 was a few orthopedic looking styles on a shoe rack in a department store, now the choices are plenty. The development of the large shoe market seems to grow every day. Retailers and manufacturers know that there is money to be made in big shoes, and they will be increasing the number of styles available because of demand. So, the quest for large size shoes may soon be over, and women with big feet will be the winners in this fashion battle. Christy Diaz is a fashion advisor for plus size women. She has been helping women of all sizes look their absolute best while helping them find fantastic deals on plus size clothing.

No More Disappointments
If you’re anything like me, you’re just excited to find a pair
of shoes on the shelf that actually fit your feet and look half way decent. You don’t really think about the name brand.
Since that faithful day in March 2006, I have started to notice which designers make size 11 shoes. It’s funny; you don’t realize you really need to know this type of information.
Instead of blindly picking up a pair of “girl you got to have these” black strappy evening sandals, you educate yourself. You memorize this list or at least have a working knowledge of designers who make your size. I promise, you will bypass feelings of disappointment, anger, frustration and embarrassment simply by knowing “XYZ Shoemaker” designs shoes in your size. Knowledge is power (especially for us full-footed girls.)
Now, this is not an exhaustive list of every plus-size shoe designer out there, but its close.
So take this information to heart. Check out your closet. I’m sure just about every pair of shoes in your closet is on this list. If you don’t see a particular designer on my list, email me and let me know. I’ll be happy to add it to my database and share it with my Your Feet Make You Unique blog audience.
I just want to help women feel better about the size of their feet and make their lives just a little easier.

Follow These Eight Time Saving Steps When Shopping For
Your Next Pair Of Shoes
I must admit when Designer Shoe Warehouse first arrived in my city, I was ecstatic. Honestly, it’s the only store that enjoy I enjoy perusing every single isle. If you’ve never stepped foot inside DSW, you have to find one and visit. For those of us who wear size 11 an up, it’s almost a gold-mine. Certainly, there are other stores that carry gorgeous shoes in larger sizes for instance, Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, JC Penny’s, Parisians, Payless and the list goes on… Now back to you first-timers, you have to have a strategy to navigate through this store. If you’ve taken any type of time-management class, you’re ability to utilize what you’ve learned will come in handy. Here are just a few tips on making the best use of your time and finding a pair of shoes made just for you.
1. Wear shoes that you can easily slip on and off.
2. As soon as you walk into the store, scan the entire store.
3. Quickly put together a game plan. Where should you start? Dress shoes or boots? It’s up to you.
4. Grab one of their mesh shopping bags. It makes carrying your shoes a whole lot easier.
5. I’ve found that scanning the shoe boxes to locate my size saves me time and unnecessary disappointment. You don’t get caught up in falling in love with a pair of shoes that aren’t available in your size.
6. Look at shoes on both sides of the isle. It saves time.
7. Once you’ve covered one isle and have selected a couple pairs of shoes, try them on. If they don’t work, simply put them back on the shelf. No since in dashing to the next isle with shoes that don’t fit.
8. Always remember to grab one of the stocking footies before trying on shoes.

Plenty of Online Plus-Size Shoe Sites
After my “Ah Ha” moment in Macy’s enormous shoe department, I started getting serious about searching for stores that stock gorgeous plus-size shoes up to size 14. I have come up with a fairly good list of online shoe stores that cater to full-footed women.
I haven’t bought shoes from every single Web site listed. So do your own research before making a purchase.

Help Your Teenager Shop For The Latest Styles
Shopping for shoes can be stressful, particularly if you’re a teenage girl. On any given day, you can find a teenage girl bemoaning the fact that her feet are huge and she can’t find cute shoes. I remember shopping for shoes in my earlier days. If I didn’t see a female sales clerk, I’d stroll through the store and stroll right out the door. I was simply too embarrassed to ask a man for a GIGANTIC pair of size 11 shoes.
Teenagers want to wear fashionable, trendy shoes just like every other teenage girl.
Of course teenagers want to look their best, particularly teenage girls. What is interesting is retailers are aggressively using the Internet and television to target and appeal to teens. Since you’re reading this, more than likely you have a teenage daughter who just might wear size 11, 12, 13 or 14 shoes. Not only is she concerned about her clothes, but it’s also important that she finds cute, trendy shoes in her size.
Looking for shoes for your teenage daughter in larger sizes doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here’s a way for you and your daughter to spend a little quality time together: Go online and shop for shoes that you both can agree on at the following online shoe stores: www.zappos.com
www.designershoes.com
www.6pm.com

Size Really Does Matter
One of the main reasons I started blogging was to create a community where women can talk about their unique set of problems and issues when it comes to living with large feet. The other reason for creating “Your Feet Make You Unique” blog was to invite online shoe distributors to participate in our conversations. We certainly want more shoe manufacturers and online and off line retailers to offer trendy, stylish shoes larger sizes. Needless to say, women with big feet want gorgeous shoes just like their tiny footed sisters. Since I wear a size 11 shoe, I can tell you that we don’t mind spending money when it comes to buying a pair of shoes that are the perfect fit and style. While some manufacturers and retailers are still reluctant to cater to the oversize women’s shoe market, others realize there is a real need to provide quality, stylish shoes for full-footed women. Retailers and manufacturers who service the $11 billion a year oversize women’s shoe market realize there is a great opportunity to increase their visibility and profitability. In the last 15 years there has been a dramatic increase in the size of women’s feet. The women’s plus-size shoe segment of the market has been growing at over 10% a year in the last 15 years, while the women’s shoe industry has been experiencing a rate of 1-2% a year. Statistics show that 12.3 million women in the US can’t find shoes that fit correctly. They’re either too small or too tight which forces many women to look for shoes in the men’s shoe department. Kudos to the Internet retailers and off line stores who provide designer shoes in our size.

Tips For Safe Shopping Online
1. Pay with a credit card, the company will back you if you contest a charge for an item that is not received.
2. Use only one credit card for all online holiday purchases. You will be able to see quickly if there is a mistake.
3. Be sure you are ordering from a secure Web site. Ways to tell? Look for the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window or a pop-up box that says you are entering a secure area. Some Web sites use the words “secure sockets layer.”
4. If you really don’t want to give payment information online, many merchants allow you to order online and then phone in your payment.
5. Keep a paper trail of all online transactions.
6. To avoid outrageous shipping costs, order all holiday gifts by Dec 1st to ensure they are received by Dec. 25th.
7. Read product reviews using sites like Amazon or Epinions before ordering online.
8. Use comparison Web sites, such as Bizrate, Shopzilla, Froogle or Price Grabber to compare prices on similar products from thousands of merchants.
9. Before ordering a product online, go to Google or MSN Search and enter the merchants Web site with the word “coupon” or “promotional code.” You may find you can get a discount on your purchase or shipping costs or both.
10. Cut shipping costs by ordering an item online and
picking it up at the store.

Homemade Recipe For Beautiful Feet
Who doesn’t want to have smooth skin and beautiful feet? Here’s a simple recipe that you can whip up in the privacy of your home:
If you take 1 cup Lemon Juice, Cinnamon (for fragrance), 2 tablespoons (or less) olive oil, 1/4 cup of milk, and water you can make a wash that leaves skin refreshed and fragrant (the amount of water does not matter).
If you don’t like the smell of Cinnamon, you can use another spice, perfume, or flower petals such as roses.
After you make it, you can put it in a tub were you can soak your feet or body. Next dry your feet or rinse them with water and a MILD soap.
Pamper your feet every week. Soon you will have smooth silky touchable feet.
