Big Foot Sally's Rejoice

Someone has created a boat to fit your feet!!! Just because you push your hooves into the same size shoe as Frankenstein doesn't mean that your footwear should resemble his, does it? Well, if you like the whole masculine Timberland movement, then buy some Dickies, a Carhartt and butch it up! But, if you are still quite feminine and "pink" then maybe I can be of some assistance.

As some of you know, the most common sizes in shoes run from about a 6 1/2 to a 9. After that, Sasquatch...you're out of luck. But, lucky for you there are people who care enough to roll out that extra yardage of fabric to create a shoe, a fashionable shoe, to accommodate your feet.

Ever hear Wendy Williams, the infamous radio jockey turn tv talk show host, rant about Beverly Feldman? Well, being a rather stately woman of about 5'11, she is in tune with what she needs to make a fashion statement while maintaining a level of comfort at the same time. Personally, I believe that the signature multi-prints are a bit much for me, but there is enough of a selection to please all. Below, we have Beth from the Spring/Summer collection. This pump can easily be transitioned from a day shoe to a night vamp and doesn't overpower. It's feminine, and sexy, yet sophisticated.

Next, is a shoe collection that I haven't always been too keen on, but I must say the styling has definitely progressed. The Samanta shoe company is Black-Owned and provides sophisticated footwear for women sizes 5-13. Size 13???? How amazing is that???

My personal fave from the SamantaShoes.com site are the Zon White snakeskin print sandal. Even the most monsterous foot will appear delicate in this sexy double buckle strappy sandal. Equipped with a price tag of $200.00, I think these are a bargain in a market where a specialty size shoe is damn near impossible to find.

Style and Comfort in a perfect world may not be so out of ordinary as we may have once thought. Finally, designers are realizing that real women exist, even if they are living on the more manly side of life!
