Tall Gal Shoe Envy
Growing up, finding the right sized pair of shoes was always a challenge for Wendy and now finally she has someone to commiserate with.
Funny lady Judy Gold wears a size 12, don’t judge, and dreaded going to the shoe store when she was younger.
Turns out, Wendy used to go to the same store!
Tell Us: All you tall girls, where do you get your shoes?

At size 13-14, I used to have to squeeze into a size 12, then I stumbled on El Dorado–Nordstrom’s Rack (I assume the regular Nordstrom’s also has them, but that is still shopping levels above reality for me at the moment).
I get trendy, sexy, and comfortable heels, and am now the envy of many of my friends.
And, hay, who doesn’t want top end shoes at Payless prices?

Fantastic points altogether, you just won a new reader. What may you suggest about your publish that you simply made a few days in the past? Any positive?

Hello Wendy.
Thanks so much for getting the shoe issue out there for those of us that have size 11- 12 size feet. Its not like we can ” DIET” those sizes away. Just because we have those sizes doesnt mean we don’t want the cute rhinestone sandals and the sexy shoes. I have learned to complain to every company that stops at 10. We have to take a stand if we are going to get anything accomplished. Please continue the fight for great shoes for all.

Ladies:
Yes I am tall, yes I LOVE heels, but not just any heels the trendy, cute ones!!!
I am a fellow frustrated shoe shopper (size 12) and I’m on a mission to prove that there are many women who are tired of the limited selection of haute, trendy extended size shoes. If you are one of those women please take 5-10 minutes to fill out the most important survey of your shoe life (http://www.wix.com/nlshoes/survey)!
I am working to gather as much information as possible to prove women wearing larger shoe sizes want the option to buy cute shoes just like their smaller counterparts.
Please help me to spread the word. I need as much information as possible to truly understand the demographics of women like us.
TAKE THE SURVEY (http://www.wix.com/nlshoes/survey) — size is just a number, NOT a restriction!!!!

I have a size 12 and am flat-footed, hated it when I was growing up, they never had my size so I’d have to get boy shoes, so hated that!!!
I know that Payless has larger size shoes, but, I’m looking for shoes that last longer than 2 months. I used to get a catalog from a place called Tall Gal, it was out of Pennsylvania, I don’t think they are in business anymore. Does anyone have suggestions on where to get shoes that are of good quality?
Thanks!

You can get all the size 11-15′s you can possibly wear at a website called Barefoottess.com. I wear a size 12/13 and I get all my shoes there. Great designers, not ugly man shoes/old lady shoes – really stylish stuff from designers like Nine West and Corso Como, Steven Madden, Blowfish, Jeffrey Campbell. I have happy feet!!

I would like to know where can I shop .I am 6feet tall and 2inches tall and I wear a size13 wide shoe any suggestions? Wendy do you have a shoe store?

Hey Wendy! Still regret the damage that I did to my feet over the years trying to put them in shoes that did not fit! I have a 9 year old daughter and believe that she is headed in to the “big foot” arena. She is already 4’11 and wears a size 6. I am teaching her to embrace her feet and tell me when shoes are too small so we can get her a different size. I also make an effort to let her wear stylish, yet age appropriate shoes. When I was a kid, I don’t recall my shoes being stylish at all! Thanks for serving as a voice for us now and for the next generation.
