Beverly Beal, Fashion + Lifestyle Blogger Size:10| Michigan, USA Skinny, glasses, and big feet; sounds like a recipe for disaster to any kid. I was that kid. Already extremely shy from being an only child, you don’t know how different you are until you get around a group of people who look nothing like you. I wasn’t that tall, average height, skinny with large feet. My…
Faith D. Size:10/11|Age: 21|Alabama, USA Growing up, I was usually the youngest of my class but the tallest, and with height comes weight and big feet. I often weighed more and required clothing from the “lady’s” department because junior sized clothing was cut short. I was never ashamed or teased for my body. My parents made sure I knew I was beautiful at a young…
Merin D. Age: 21|Size: 10| Arkansas, USA When I can, I squeeze into a 9 ½, but most days, I wear a size 10 shoe. Bunions on both feet add width to my already long feet, making finding a pair of comfortable shoes almost impossible. For certain shoes, such as running shoes, I simply buy men’s sizes, which actually have ranges of widths to choose…
Marcela S. Size:11|Age: 21|El Salvador Well, growing up with big feet was not nice. I remember telling my mom whenever we used to go out shopping, “Why did I have to be born with big feet?” Seeing my classmates and some of my cousins with nice shoes and knowing I couldn’t even think of getting the same shoes because of my size was really sad.…
If you think you’re alone in dealing with your extended shoe size, think again. There are several celebrities who know what you’re feeling exactly because they too have “big feet”/ shoe Queen sizes of 10+. It pains me to see the media sometimes make a mockery of these women as if they have something to be ashamed of when they don’t. If these women can still…
Growing up with long feet was tough to say the least. Like many little girls, I loved dressing up in my mother’s many shoes, aspiring to one day be able to fill them. I was never able to fit my mother’s shoes as I grew. I got a little older and took on the biggest challenge of my life at the time, “big school”. Grade school…
Valerie D. Size: 10|Age: 54|Mississippi, USA Toe Woes I can vividly recall squeezing my size 10 feet into a 9 shoe. After constantly being teased about my large feet, I became embarrassed. I first became aware of this anomaly when I was in the 5th grades. “Oh my, what large feet you have Valerie”, one of my classmates exclaimed, “I only wear a size 7 ½,…
Aliyah C. Size: 11|Age: 21|Michigan, USA I hated the size of my feet growing up. I was already being teased for my dark complexion and being taller than all the boys in my classes. On top of this, I had long feet, or “boats” as some people would call them. I wouldn’t say much in class, because I didn’t want to place any focus on my…
