For some small businesses, the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak has been a major hinderance for entrepreneurs. For others, the pandemic has created a great opportunity to try something new and rebrand. That is the story for the latest Queen Feet founder I’ve met this week. Laurice Fox (Size 12) recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for her namesake footwear brand that exclusively caters to the extended size market.…

While some have previously shied away from walking confidently despite normalized euro-centric beauty standards, others are spearheading the size inclusivity movement. One of the newest trailblazers is an up-and-coming designer that we should definitely be keeping an eye on. Doyeon Yoni Yu, 27, is a former Parson’s…
Okay, so while I’ve noticed this trend for a while now, and I’m sorta kinda getting used to this much of a gag factor. Sneakers are becoming progressively more ugly by the season. A a result, they’re starting to look more like footwear fit for astronauts and space cadets. Let me give you some quick context on my space shoe comparison with these new sneakers. So,…
Most women that I’ve personally come across within the Queen Feet community are justifiably taller. From my experience, I’ve realized that in comparison, ladies like myself are an anomaly because I’m only 5’5″ with size 11 Queen Feet. I know, I can’t believe it myself sometimes. I even checked with a nurse while visiting my practitioner this week to see if I’d grown at all. Let’s…
Have you ever met someone who just gets it? Whether they have shared experiences or have developed extreme empathy from their personal relationships? Well, besides footwear, food, and dreaming of global travel, I love to keep tabs on the VC (venture capital), marketing, and startup worlds. In my spare time, I’m literally trying to absorb as much information and inspiration from influencers and thought leaders in…
It’s that time again SSLs! Today, we get to hear from another Queen Feet superstar. I got a chance to hear from actress, producer, and athlete Sarah Brown Carter about her Queen Feet experience as she wears between U.S. footwear sizes 12-12.5. I thought it’d be really interesting to get a glimpse of the Hollywood Entertainment Biz through a Queen Feet lens. This Canadian/ American triple…
Virginia Z. Shoe Size: 11| Age: N/A| Country: Spain My name is Virginia, and I have an 11-shoe size. My feet were no problem until I reached puberty. I have always been pretty tall. I was one of the tallest kids in my class, but my feet were okay. So, about age 13, I can’t remember exactly, I had an American 9-10, and my struggle began.…
You know that feeling when you finally find the “big feet” aisle of a women’s footwear store and you look up to see another Queen Foot lady headed your way? It’s totally friends at first sight, right? At last, you’re not the only one secluded in a tiny corner searching for flattering shoes in our sizes. That’s the experience that comes to mind when I discovered…
