Are you having trouble finding comfortable shoes for your size 12 feet? I know, I know... just remember, you're not alone.

Why is it so difficult to find any women’s shoes in size 12 in the stores? Did you know that in 1987 11% of all U.S. women wore shoes sizes above size 9 and in 1998 30% of all women’s shoe sales were above size 9? And in 2000, that number grew to 37%. So what gives? Why does it feel like it’s impossible to find size 12 women’s shoes? And when you do finally find size 12, the shoes are hideous and out of date!

Fortunately, we live in an age of the Internet and that brings us many shopping options including finding the hidden gem of attractive, modern, size 12 women’s shoes. In fact many online retailers have recognized the growing market for women’s size 12 shoes and set up shop especially tailored to meet this demand. Lucky for us! The best part is that you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home and face the despicable shoe sales person who asks, “I’m sorry, what size did you just say? I’m sorry we don’t carry that!” Save yourself the hassle and give the online retailers a try. They have the designs you want, in the size you want.

To ensure a great online shopping experience in obtaining your own women’s shoes size 12 online:

• Make sure you check the retailer’s size chart and return policy. This way you can make sure you are getting the shoe that truly fits and that you have an opportunity to return them if they don’t work out for you.
• Search for information online about large and wide female feet and check out the wholesale or discount advertisers one those information sites. Not everyone will be a treasure trove of size 12 shoes for ladies, but some of them will be. When you find online retailers that do work for you, let us know via our contact page.
• Search for the brands that you’ve found fit well and often produce new shoes in size 12 directly in Google. If you aren’t sure of what those brand names might be you should check your closet and find some hints there. We recommend Aerosoles, Sofft, Trotters, and Sanuk among many others.

Happy shopping, I know you’re going to find just what you’re looking for!
