i have large feet. but they’re not freak-show huge. we’re not talking guinness-book-of-world-records size. i’m 5’10” and i wear a size 11 shoe. the most unfortunate thing about having size 11 feet is the frequent frustration i face when looking for cute shoes. don’t get me wrong—i find cute shoes all the time. they just don’t come in my size. for some unfathomable reason, far too many women’s shoe brands—and sometimes not even the whole brand, just certain styles i love—just aren’t made in a size 11. the largest size will be a 10. it happens to me over and over again: i fall in love with a shoe, decide i must have it for this wedding or that party, and i then i can’t find it anywhere in my size. i start out hoping it’s just sold out in the first few places i look (being that most places only carry a couple of pair of size 11s, if they even carry my size at all), and eventually realize, sad and deflated, that the particular shoe with which i’ve become enamored must not exist in my size. and even though taller american women are becoming more and more common, larger shoe sizes can still be quite hard to find. this is unacceptable. i think my feet need these shoes:

i think my feet would look especially sexy in these shoes. alas, we’ll never know for sure, because kenneth cole doesn’t make these shoes in my size. for shame, kenneth! tall women with large feet deserve sexy shoes too!
