12 Struggles Only Girls With Big Feet Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Old Westbury chapter.

Having big feet is super hard! I was born this way, why can’t designers just accept that? If you’re a girl with big feet, only you can understand these dilemmas: 

They most likely don’t have your favorite shoe at your size at your favorite shoe store.

Fancy shoe stores are the worst because you already know they don’t have your size.

You think about whether or not the shoes make your feet look big before buying.

Packing is unbearable since your shoes take the whole freaking space! You need a bag just for your shoes. 

Sorry, but socks cannot be one size fits all.

When your boyfriend wants to buy you shoes and asks your size.

When you think you’re a size 10 but pointy shoes are a size bigger (or two.)

Online shopping is pointless because you’re size is not there. You want really these shoes though. 

Toe clevage is not unusual in your world. 

If a store actually has your size, it’s a party!

You feel like a zoo animal when people look at your feet.

The clearance section only has ugly shoes in your size.

UGH!
