Barefoot Tess Confuses Me
I love these sandals, but while I was over at Barefoot Tess shopping away, I realized something upsetting. While many a shoe blogger (and myself) have championed their size selection (up to 15, depending on the style!), their wide shoe offerings are dismal.
Sometimes I'm willing to compromise, because not all of us have wide feet, and not all of us have big feet, either. However, Barefoot Tess is a great go-to company for the woman with larger feet, and their wide foot, larger size selection is abysmal. When I went on there today, they have 9 pairs of shoes that match the 10W search feature: one pair of moccasins, a few sad pairs of rounded-toe heels, a pair of winter boots. . . you get the picture.
I want to love Barefoot Tess, but they're making it really difficult right now. Sure, I can by those gorgeous Corso Comos up to size 13, but my wide-footed sisters are left high-and-dry at a 10W. Are you surprised at this discovery? We've talked about Barefoot Tess before, but I was sure they would turn it around for summer. Where do you shop for wide shoes?

Ever since I had my son I have had a wide foot, and most of the shoes out there don’t fit me anymore. I have found that sticking with popular stores/brands like Naturalizer, Easy Spirit, The Walking Co., and Aerosoles I am guranteed to get a comfortable wide width shoe that fits trends season to season year after year!
Most of the time you can find fashionable large size shoes, but the selection in large and wide shoes is typically rather matronly. One exception I have found is Dreamshoes. http://www.shoesofyourdreams.com. They have cute shoes up to 15WW! I bought a pair of black patent slingback platforms that are the most stylish shoes in my closet.
