8 Cute Summer Shoes For Big Feet, Because Extended Sizes Deserve Some Open-Toed Lovin' Too

Women with big feet are often discriminated against. Since our sizes are less common, stores generally don't bring in enough of anything above a 10 — or the shoes that are available look like they were made for 80-year-olds with orthopaedic problems. We've looked on at our smaller footed counterparts who gleefully bought quirky Sophia Webster and Charlotte Olympia heels on sale in jealousy and heartache Where are the cute sparkly slip-ons with glitter, and the heels with the adorable embellishments that would turn heads? Luckily, I completely understand your pain and I've scoured the web for cute summer shoes for big feet. You can send me a pair while you're at it, too.

Pink Pom Poms

Say You Don't Heels , $36, Asos

If all you’ve wanted growing up were cutesy pink shoes with pompoms in the front, these babies are the answer to your lifelong prayers. I’ve never been a chunky kitten heels kinda girl, but these ones seem to just work!

Fringe Gladiator

Fringe Tall Gladiator Sandals , $198, J.Crew

You know gladiator sandals are back this season in a pretty big way. If you haven’t been able to find anything in stores, and you have a little bit more money to spend, these gladiators, which come in white and black, should be in your shopping list.

Nude Heels

Teatime Pointed Toe Pumps , $119, Nine West

You don’t have to stick to flats and low heels all summer though. These super sexy pumps come in three colors and mean business.

Animal Print Pumps

Shoes of Prey Block Heel Calf Hair Pump , $209, Nordstrom

This is going to set you back a pretty penny but this color blocked pump is a great investment to your wardrobe, especially if you can never find shoes your size. If you’re ordering for a special occasion, be sure to give it at least five weeks to ship, since these are made to order.

Beaded Sandals

New Look Wide Fit Icy Multi Coloured Bead Sandals, $28, Asos

You don’t have to live in rubber flip flops all summer! These are just as beachy-cool, but a little more dressed up for the office.

Pastel Heels

Star Heels , $73, Asos

I’m always a big fan of chunky heels, and the fringed detail makes these a little sassier than your run-of-the-mill strappy heels. The three-inch heels makes it a winner too.

Multi-Colored Platforms

White Multi Canvas Paint Platform Wedge , $69, Toms

These printed wedges will help brighten up your outfit for the warmer months, even if all your clothes are black. We all know that TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need for every purchase of a shoe, so that’s even more reason to buy too, right?

Black & White Sandals

Torrid Studded T-Strap Heels (Wide), $44, Torrid

I secretly love that these gorgeous heels are available in only size 10 through 13. The geometric print, the gold studs, and the double straps makes these chunky heels perfect for a night out.
