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

from A Tall Girl's Podcast · host India

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.
