The chances are really good that if your shoe size is larger than an eight or a nine, you have a very hard time finding shoes. Large size womens shoes are just nearly impossible to find - and they shouldn't be. Even when you can find large size womens shoes, they typically are not in the cute or fashionable styles that you find smaller sizes in. This isn't the fault of the manufacturers - but who is to blame?
The manufacturers can easily produce a woman's shoe in a size twelve or thirteen that looks identical to a shoe in a size five with no problem - and they do. They are not the reason that you can't find that darling design in your size. The blame rests solely on the shoe store that you are shopping at! Chain shoe stores and large discount stores are the worst when it comes to finding larger sized women's shoes. They simply don't order them.
The shoe stores do this for one reason and one reason only. If they have the larger size womens shoes in stock, they can't keep as much stock of the smaller sizes. It is as simple as that. They would rather stock one hundred pairs of the smaller sizes than stock eighty or ninety pairs of the smaller sizes and ten or twenty pairs of the larger sizes. You can't please everyone all the time, but these stores don't even try! What does this say to you as a consumer? It says that your business is not important to these stores. Unfortunately, there is only one thing that you can do about it - take your business away from them!
First, find the small privately owned shoe stores in our area - one of those places where the man that is sitting in front of you, measuring your foot, and gently placing the shoe on your foot is actually the owner of the store! Do you remember those full-service shoe stores? They still exist, and they do want your business! In most cases, if you personally talk to the owner of the store, and tell him your size and your taste in shoes, he will make sure that he has stock in the store for you. In most cases, he will be more than happy to order specific shoes in your size on a regular basis!
Another option is to shop online. No matter what type of shoes you are looking for, you can find it online - in your size. You can find the color you want too. Type what you are looking for into any search engine search box and see what pops up! What you are looking for is literally out there in cyber space, just waiting for you. The only drawback of ordering shoes online is that you cannot try them on first. For this reason, it is important to check the exchange, refund, and return policy of the Internet shoe store you are doing business with - before making a purchase!
You will be pleasantly surprised at the large selection of shoes - in your size - that you will have available to you when you choose to do business either at a small shoe shop or online. In fact, you will probably be able to get styles and designs that women with smaller feet can't find in their chain shoe stores where nobody seems interested in waiting on them or helping them find what they are looking for!
So, if you need large size womens shoes, you can bet that your local chain shoe store or discount store won't carry the styles that you want in your size. You will do better by ordering the shoes that you want from the Internet, or from a small privately owned shoe store. These chain stores and discount stores leave you no choice, and since they drove you to this in the first place - completely take your business away from them - buy the rest of your family's shoes either online or at that same small private shoe shop as well!
Large Size Womens Shoes
Large size womens shoes used to be extremely difficult to find. Many women would have to locate specialist stores and wait on orders for their size.
American women spend more than $3 billion dollars every year on surgical foot repair and due to women cramming their feet into smaller shoes, 80% of all foot ailments are caused by ill fitting shoes.
Larger feet are no longer considered to be abnormal as they once were. The average womens shoe size is now around a US size 9 [UK size 7] compared to a US size 6 or 7 [UK size 4 or 5] in the sixties and seventies. According to the National Shoe Retailers Association bigger sizes now sell out faster than they did 25 years ago.
Until quite recently many women felt embarrassed and singled out for having larger feet. The only styles available to them were boring, plain and frankly quite old fashioned.
Fortunately, designers and manufacturers have finally introduced large size womens shoes into their ranges. Shoe giants Payless, stores like Nordstrom and designers such as Christian Dior and Prada now offer up to size 11 as standard.
Over half of online stores offer large size womens shoes and many online stores only specialise in larger sizes.
Many famous women have also contributed towards manufacturers and designers increasing the size ranges they offer. Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, Kate Winslet, Mischa Barton, Anna Nicole Smith, Katie Holmes, Teri Hatcher to name a few.
The old saying big is beautiful has never been more prevalent than now and if you do need to look for large size womens shoes shopping for them online will take away the hassle and get you just what you need.
