Hey, did you know? One story that often flies under the radar is the struggle of women with larger-than-average feet when it comes to shopping for shoes. For these women, finding stylish, well-fitting footwear is not just a challenge—it can be an elusive dream.
The mantra ‘everything that is cute doesn’t fit, and everything that fits isn’t cute’ sadly rings true for many women with large feet in the United States. While the average foot size in the United States falls between 8.5 and 9, shoe brands predominantly cater to smaller-than-average sizes, neglecting the needs of those with sizes 9 and above. This oversight forces many women to compromise on either comfort or style, settling for shoes that fail to meet their standards.
For some, this struggle is a lifelong ordeal; for others, it’s a temporary challenge due to weight gain, pregnancy, menopause, or foot injuries. Yet, no matter the reason, these women are often left with ill-fitting or unattractive options, unable to find shoes that both fit and flatter.
Enter Etta Grove—a brand dedicated to transforming this frustrating reality. Founded in 2021 by Alexis, Kayla, and Haley Howard, three women who experienced this struggle firsthand, Etta Grove was born out of a desire to offer stylish, comfortable, and durable footwear for those with larger feet. Tired of being underserved and labeled with ‘abnormal-sized feet,’ they set out to create shoes that are both beautiful and functional.
Meet the Visionaries Behind Etta Grove
Etta Grove’s founders understand that no foot size is abnormal. Taller women often have larger feet for better balance, while shorter women have smaller feet for proportionate support. This simple truth is often overlooked, leading to a significant gap in the market for stylish shoes in larger sizes.
Etta Grove is built on a few core beliefs:
-
Fashion and Confidence for Every Size: Every woman deserves to feel confident and express herself fashionably, regardless of her shoe size.
-
Support for Body Positivity: The brand is committed to creating footwear that is trendy, comfortable, and timeless for women with larger feet.
-
Community and Celebration: Etta Grove aims to build a community where women with larger feet are celebrated and catered to, filling the void left by mainstream manufacturers.
