Why Is The Shoe Industry IGNORING Tall Women? | Literally No One Talks About This…

I wanna provide a little context for the tall girlies before getting into this episode.

I went shoe shopping with a friend a few weeks ago because, you know, a girly had a couple of outings coming up, so I wanted to get some new shoes. Little did I know that that would be a little difficult, but we’ll get into that in a second. We went to Nordstrom Rack and walked past rows and rows of women’s shoes.

We passed by the size 5 section, size 6 section, size 7 section, just rows and rows of varieties of shoes like sneakers, heels, sandals, flats, you name it. I’m excited like omg I can’t wait to find these in my size. Eventually, I get to the size 9.5 section (that’s my size) and why was it like only half a row???? Literally ONE HALF of a row. I’m like okay??

I turn around a corner within the store and see another half a row of size 9.5 shoes. I’m like oh…this is it?? I turn around and I see a wall with size 10 shoes (really just sneakers and boots). And the same with size 11 shoes. I don’t even know if that location had anything past a size 11, and if they did, it was not very visible.

Many tall women I’ve interviewed on this podcast have a shoe size of 11, 12, or even 13. So, if I’m struggling to find variety in a size 9.5…are the other tall girlies ok?? Today, we’re gonna be talking about the shoe struggle many tall women face and why this isn’t spoken about enough. Tune in to the full episode for more!
