About Andrea PaceWelcome to Your Feet Make You Unique- a large-size shoe blog designed for women who wear large size shoes.
My name is Andrea Pace, creator and writer of Your Feet Make You Unique. Because I proudly wears size 11 shoes, I know all too well how it feels to be frustrated, disappointed and embarrassed when it comes to finding and buying shoes in larger sizes.
Why Your Feet Make You Unique was created
I really enjoy sharing this story with anyone who will listen. It was definitely a life changing moment in my life:
In March 2006, I had the opportunity to take a weekend trip to New York to see a Broadway play. Of course, my friends and I found time for a little sight-seeing and shopping. Have you ever been to Macy’s in New York? It’s just overwhelming. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I headed straight for a gorgeous pair of strappy, light-brown sandals.
Mesmerized by this exquisite pair of shoes, I found a sales clerk and quietly asked her for a size 11. She politely took the shoe and went to the back and a couple of minutes later she came back to tell me what I already knew, “Sorry, this shoe doesn’t come in Big Foot Size.” Of course, that’s not what she said. After I worked through a few seconds of extreme disappointment, the sales lady asked me a simple, but life changing question, “Would you like to know who makes shoes in your size?” This simple, yet profound question was a definitive turning point in my life. Why hadn’t I ever thought to look up that information or even ask? Years and years of disappointment and embarrassment could have been avoided.
Somehow, I felt empowered by knowing names of designers who create beautiful shoes in my size. I actually felt better about the size of my feet. I wanted other women to feel better too.
That’s why I created, Your Feet Make You Unique. Now women can instantly shop and access information about the kind of shoes they want to wear in their size. I’ve also included practical tips, articles, shoe reviews and more...My goal is to make women feel better about the size of their feet and make their lives just a little easier.
Happy Shopping,
Happy Shopping,
Because I care. Because I know how you feel you have a friend at Your Feet Make You Unique

Thanks for making this site.
Thank you so much for saying what was on my mind this morning as I'm looking around for shoes for an Alicia Keye's concert. Designers have come along way since the 80's when finding a size 10 shoe was few and far between and your choices were in the "old lady" variety. It just seems like now they have many choices in 10's but then they stop! So thank you for the blog... now I know I'm just not being picky! I just want cute shoes in MY size!!! :)
I love your blog!!! Let me say that I know all too well about the frustration,embarrassment,anger and sadness of not having nice looking shoes in your size. I wear a size 12. I've been haunting payless ever since they came out!! When I was a kid with size 10 feet I was stuck wearing "old lady shoes". Needless to say that went over well at school as I was being ridiculed to scorn. For years I have been deeply depressed over my foot size. I have even wished for surgery to change my foot size if it were at all possible. So I'll end by saying that your blog is right on time!
Peace and Blessings

I love this blog! I can't say how heart breaking it is to never find cute shoes in size 12 and if I am so lucky to find them, I have to really spend to get a pair of so/so looking shoes. I've had luck on another site www.shoeinfinity.com. that I stumbled upon just googling "size 12" They usually have really cute 10, 11's and 12s not to mention they are affordable! I hope this helps! Thanks for great blogging!
