We are thrilled to announce that Big Shoes was recently featured in an article on USAToday about the difficulty of finding larger shoe sizes.
The article features quotes from our founder, Mo Morris, on his experience trying to find larger shoe sizes when growing up:
“When you're growing up, you don't know there's something bigger than the size 13,” he told USA TODAY on March 7. “At least I didn't at the time I grew up. I curled my toes up in my 13s because I just didn't think there was a bigger shoe and then I finally got measured and they told me how big my foot was.”
With many families still struggling with finding a large selection of larger shoe sizes, over twenty five years later Big Shoes is still a leading brand helping anyone with large shoe sizes find the perfect shoe.
Our founders' story and the stories highlighted by USAToday are clear reminders that those with larger shoe sizes are often overlooked and aren’t able to always find the service they need. While the footwear industry has made strides in accommodating various foot sizes and shapes, many families still face challenges in accessing a wide selection of larger shoe sizes.
Establishing a Niche:
Founded over twenty-five years ago, Big Shoes recognized a glaring gap in the market for individuals with larger feet. While mainstream retailers predominantly catered to average-sized feet, those requiring sizes beyond the conventional range found themselves with limited options. This realization prompted the birth of Big Shoes, with a mission to provide inclusive footwear solutions for all.
Expanding the Selection:
Over the years, Big Shoes has expanded its product range to cater to diverse tastes and preferences, boasting an impressive lineup of name brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vans, Birkenstock, and more. Whether it's athletic sneakers, work boots, or casual sandals, the brand offers a comprehensive selection to suit every occasion. Big Shoes continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of larger-sized footwear.
Looking Towards the Future:
As Big Shoes commemorates over two decades of service, the brand remains laser-focused on its core mission: to provide unparalleled footwear solutions for individuals with larger shoe sizes. With an eye towards the future, Big Shoes aims to further expand its reach. By staying true to its values of quality, comfort, and inclusivity, Big Shoes is poised to continue making strides in the footwear industry for years to come.
