11:11

Growing up, it was as if my foot never ceased growing. At 12 I was wearing 9.5 Ferragamos, and now in my twenties, I flaunt a lovely size 11. While discrimination is supposedly obsolete, stores everywhere and everyday turn me away because my feet are just far too big (at 14 I was told to go to a transvestite shoe store to accommodate my request for such a large ladies shoe).I declare it time for equality for all feet, toes, and nails alike!

Spin on Ferragamo Classics

Loving the spin on Ferragamo classics this season. I wear a 41.5, which may be the reason I am biased.

Nordstrom Searchability

As mentioned before, I am a big fan of Nordstrom's shoe department. They have always been supportive of my lifelong problem with gigantic feet. As I was browsing their site today, I was pleased with the easy search functionality, which allowed me to narrow down specifically to the size and additional criteria I wanted. Also, they are offering free shipping on all shoes! What could be better?

Bubbly Toes

Someone once told me my feet reminded them of this song. I guess because my feet are big, my toes are bubbly or maybe it's the other way around...

J. Crew for all - BIG & small

J. Crew is a supporter of all feet, big or small with sizes from 5-10, 11 & 12. I find they even run a bit big and can squeeze my 11s into a 10 if the shoe is open toe. They have some great styles this season!

Vintage Finds - not just for the small footed

EDITH MACHINIST - I stumbled upon a great vintage shoe, bag, and clothing store on Rivington a few months ago and snagged a great pair of pumps in my size. While their size 11 section is limited, there are some great finds and it is definitely worth a look. The sales people are extremely helpful and more than accommodating to boat size feet.
