Outside of the obvious reason that we’re here( tall clothes!) I think our other highest requested item is shoes, shoes, shoes. Where do we find large size shoes is something we constantly see in our DMs. We were thrilled at how well our Tall Denim roundup went so we thought we may as well round up all the large size shoe companies in one place for you as well. We will include pictures as we can, for companies we have tried their shoes out!
For reference our shoe sizes are 13 for Jenilee and 11.5 for Caitlin. At this point we don’t think an 11.5 exists so I usually either have to smoosh in a little bit or size up and my heel is constantly popping out. And before we get any further-no, we will not sell you pictures of our feet. Shop our favorite large size shoe companies below.
Amazon
We have mentioned our Amazon storefront page intermittently, but wanted to provide a link to it for reference here. Scrolling through Amazon for shoes can be overwhelming, to put it mildly. You might feel like you’re sifting through a lot of trash to find treasure. We’ve done the work for you and linked many large size shoes for easier shopping for you! Plus they are up to size 15!
Nordstrom
Our Mom also wears size 13 shoes so we had a leg up on figuring out where to shop for large size shoe companies. Luckily Nordstrom has been around for a long time and has been known for carrying shoes up to size 13 and some even beyond. Of course, they are/can be on the pricier side. The old adage stands, you get what you pay for and when you’re spending the money typically the quality backs it up with our previous purchases!
Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom’s less expensive sister store, it originally started to move older merchandise or off season merchandise out of Nordstrom. Now it’s somewhat similar to a TJ Maxx, where they manufacture shoes specifically at a lower cost/quality. We do the bulk of our on trend shoe purchasing at The Rack. They also have a website with some of their offerings available but if you can visit in person, that is usually more of the treasure trove. Up to size 13 in our experiences.
Payless
As we all know, our reduced options mean we end up paying more for less variety. Growing up, we relied on Payless as our shoe sizes continued to jump. As I’m preparing to become a parent I’m already envisioning all the money associated with growing kids! Thankfully after filing bankruptcy and closing all of their stores, Payless is making a comeback. So far, they have very reduced offerings but we are hopeful they will continue to ramp up their styles to include larger sizes so they can continue to be included in our large size shoe companies list.
NYAS
We are always ecstatic to see new large size shoe companies pop up and especially when their price point can be under $100! Check out our collaboration with NYAS, here for the full write up on their amazing on trend shoes. I (Jenilee) did try out another pair of their boots but found them to run too small, so I’ll have to try sizing up to 14 and see if we can get another secondary review on the blog! They do go up to size 15, so they definitely are covering as many of us leggy ladies as possible and we will be forever grateful!
Coix
If you’re proud to be tall, and love to confidently rock high quality heels, Coix should be your go-to! We both have shoes from Coix and have gotten SO. MUCH. WEAR. out of them. Cost per wear should always be in the equation when debating whether to purchase shoes. The value is there and then some with Coix and we have sung their praises many times before. Check out our posts here and here for more! They offer sizes 11-13.
Otto & Ivy
Before launching Otto & Ivy, Laura used to do her own tall blogging. Having followed her for years before getting started on our own blog, we knew her company would cover all the integral shoes we were missing in our closet. Since the launch last year, she has designed some ridiculously amazing shoes. I finally got my first pair via my husband for my birthday and I am itching to get my hands on many, many more! She takes customer feedback very seriously and is already planning ahead to include wide widths and expand her sizing.
Long Tall Sally
We’ve heard a ton of feedback from ladies wondering and worrying if LTS is going to bring back their original size offering, now that they’ve relaunched. We watched their last Q&A Instagram live and good news, they are! In the meantime, we all just need to stretch our patience. I think it’s important to realize, although they’re the same name it is a new company. Therefore it’s ill advised to hold them to the same standards of the previous owners. We can’t speak to their new offerings, as we haven’t tried them yet but we’re optimistic that they will rise up to fill another void for large shoe sizes!
Lonia Shoes
Although they have been around since 2015, they haven’t been on our radar of large size shoes companies until recently. Lonia has some seriously fun designs and colorful shoes because having large feet shouldn’t equate to boring! PLUS, they serve sizes 10-15, so all of us should be close to covered with that beautiful size range. Lastly, they seem to have the range versatility of fab flats, as well as some killer high heels. I (Jenilee) have my first pair on the way and cannot wait to share them with you! Plus we are super excited to share the coupon code for $20 off your first pair using JENILEE20.
Rothy’s
You may have seen these shoes floating around our page regularly at this point. We are partial to their Chelsea style, which is like a sneaker version of the popular boot cut. Their vision was founded on transforming eco-friendly materials into machine washable styles. They are not only comfortable, but they will last you forever! We’ve got a coupon code for you for $20 off your first pair here. I will note that some of the pointed toe styles ended up running small on me, but happy to answer any sizing questions!
Low Heels
Joanna Scott started Low Heels to fill a void in her own closet, forever being on the hunt for 2 inch heeled shoes in her size. They offer sizes 7-12UK which is up to size US 13 or 14 depending on what size chart you’re comparing! They are made to order shoes, which allows for some really fun customizations to help make your shoes your new favorite. She is always happy to answer any customer questions, which helps take the guesswork out of online shoe shopping. Plus she is looking into expanding her shoe sizes, so if you have been searching her site, submit your measurements if you wear larger than a US13!
SAE London
Another new footwear company steps on the scene, pun intended. Started by Sylvie, as she wears a size 10UK/12 US she feels our struggle daily! She already has launched some epicly luxe slippers and we were lucky enough to try them out. They fit true to size and we are anxiously awaiting what she will drop for footwear in the future! Look for a separate blog post on SAE London in the immediate future!
Cinderella Shoes
Offering size US10-US15, Cinderella Shoes is another great option. They have pages and pages of options and a pretty wide price range to cover everyone’s budget. You might recognize some of the brands carried there and you might discover some fun new favorites!
DSW
Unbeknownst to me, DSW goes up to size 15US. The caveat being, the size 15’s are basically only sneakers, as well as for size 14. I will say, after perusing the site I was decently impressed with their size 13 options and will likely check out the site next time I’m shopping. Caitlin has bought some reasonable shoes there before and I’ve always been jealous (because those specific pairs don’t come in my size). Here’s an opportunity for a larger shoe retailer to offer more variety in their larger sized shoes!
Smash Shoes
Smash burst onto the scene to refresh our lifeless, boring large shoe options. They offer size US 10-14 AND are also including wide width options for any of our tall plus sized ladies on the hunt for knee high boots. They aren’t afraid of offering some exciting colors or a good sized heel. If this sounds like what you’ve been missing, go check out their fantastic shoes!
Santewade
Based out of England, Sante Wade offers a sizable selection of high quality shoes in size US7 to US13.5. They have some bold heels, as well as classic loafers and everything in between. They use high quality materials, so you know you’re buying a shoe made to last! Plus, they do free shipping with the purchase of two pairs of shoes.
Target
Target confidently covers up to size US 12. While I was researching for this post, I realized they had about 21 pairs of size US 13 women’s shoes. What a pleasant surprise! As I kept digging I kept coming across reviews for the inexpensive sandals I was eyeing up. About half were adamant you needed to size up, as they ran small. With that in mind, I might have to try out a pair for myself and give final judgement on whether size 13’s need to continue to look elsewhere! Caitlin has found some great pairs of shoes there before, but neither of us shop Target regularly enough to say much more.
Zappos
Another huge site for online shopping, they carry a bunch of different well known brands. Using the filter for size 13+ Zappos show almost 2,000 options. Now take that with a grain of salt depending what you’re looking for. But if you filter down based on size and other preferences, you should be able to find out pretty quickly if they have what you need.
Tresolz
Brand new Canadian shoe store, Tresolz has burst onto the scene with some fun shoe options. They currently have 12 pairs of shoes up on their site but are getting ready to launch their Spring 2021 preorders. Worth noting, Tresolz offers a couple of their pairs in two different heel heights, 3 inches or 4 inches. I know for some ladies this makes all the difference in comfort, ourselves included! We’ll be watching their new releases closely!
Shoes.com
Very similar offerings to Zappos, Shoes.com is a large online site. At size 13 there are 681 options but moving to size 14 it drops to 100 options. There is an odd standard for what types of shoes end up being available in larger sizes, IE Dr Martens, orthopedic looking shoes, and heavy duty construction type boots. Lots of room for improvement here!
Franco Sarto
Do you ever stumble upon something and need it in every single color? This has happened to us with Franco Sarto shoes. Whether it be booties, flats or loafers they are always extremely comfortable, fit well, and are made beautifully. We have both added these flats to our collection and one of us may have them in FIVE colors (cough cough Caitlin). They are the perfect pointed toe to add some class, sass, and style into any outfit. They offer up to a size 13 and run a bit big so they suggest to order a half a size down if possible. Otherwise fine to stick with regular sizing.
Tiosebon
We shared Tiosebon for the first time last year and honestly they have the comfiest slip on sneakers we’ve personally ever worn. I can say with honesty I wear these every day at minimum to and from the gym. They are easy to slip on and off and did I mention before how comfortable they are? They feel like socks. Plus at $20 they are super reasonable, so you already know I have them in several colors. Lastly, they are committed to recycling and reuse plastic water bottles to make their shoes.
Vionic Shoes
Although they only go to size 12, Vionic has some great quality shoes. They are known for their great support, and I know as tall women we sometimes end up with certain health issues so we might need more supportive shoes than the average person. We’ve shared their shoes with you before, here and here. Plus, we’re lucky enough to have an actual Vionic retail store in town, so we can go try them on (crazy I know!). If you don’t have that option, they also have some of their selection available now on Shoes.com listed above!
Let us know below, are any of these large size shoe companies new to you? Did we miss any large size shoe companies that deserve inclusion on this list?
