Although the Today show host lists Stuart Weitzman, Country Road and Sophia Webster as just some of the designers who cater to her feet needs, having feet that differ from the size 5-10 norm is something the owners of Soleful shoes, Pradhima Shyamsunder and Kuppal Palaniappan can relate to, so much so that they’ve created their own brand that exclusively caters to women with size 1 to 5 and 10 – 14 feet.
“I had been struggling to find my shoe size for many years, I would often go to the popular shoe stores to find no size 11 shoes or buy size 10 shoes and squash my feet in, much to my pain and discomfort,” Palaniappan told Mamamia.
“I would then visit specific shoe stores that catered for people with large feet, however the style of shoe, was outdated or for an older target market.”
And while Soleful shoes is doing their part for the shoe collection of plus-shoe-size women, Sylvia is adamant that there’s so much more that needs to be done.
“So the next time you tell a tall woman you’d love to have her height, consider her pain. The grass isn’t always greener,” she writes.
“And even if it were, it would be impossible to enjoy through the agony of crushed toes.”
