Willow Shoes

Okay, so I’m a bit biased since if it weren’t for these guys I and my size 12 feet would be walking around barefoot or in men’s sneakers. But they deserve 5 stars for simply providing for people with «long feet» like me. Further, they stock a wide array of styles, truly something to suit everyone, and all top quality. I tend to dress conservatively, and while some of their stock is quite adventurous, they have equally many ‘sleek’ and understated options. And there’s every conceivable heel, width, style, et cetera. The staff are friendly and helpful, don’t impose and didn’t even get annoyed with me for trying on half their inventory while bleating the whole while about how much I hate shopping. Another thing I have to give them credit for is that their prices are very reasonable, comparable to any good shoe store, even though they could easily get away with being greedy since they cater for people who struggle to find shoes in mainstream stores. I visited here once before when I was in my teens and bought a great pair of leather boots that I’ve worn ever since, and also a pair of ballet-​style slippers that are still my daily bread. This time around I bought three pairs of mid-​height heels, perfect for work as well as more casual occasions, comfortable and flattering and I feel very confident in them. Thank goodness for these guys, they make my life a whole lot easier!

Willow Shoes is a New Zealand based company whose sole focus is to cater to the needs of women with what they call ‘long feet’.
As someone with size 10 feet, I am right on the cusp of the size range most stores stock, and have often wondered what women with size 11 and bigger feet do. Where do they find their shoes? The answer is Willow.
Stocking shoes in sizes ten and above, Willow Shoes is the best place for women with larger feet to find great fashionable footwear.
I popped in to this store out of curiosity and was impressed to discover their range of shoes. Ankle boots, wedges, heels, flats, sandals, knee high boots — Willow has a fantastic range of footwear and all their shoes are made from quality materials — with many of them being genuine leather.
This quality does mean that Willow Shoes is quite a pricey place to purchase footwear, but if it means the shoes not only last but also fit and look great — then I’d say the prices are most definitely worth paying!
Bonus: The women that work in Willow are lovely — they genuinely understand the issues women face by having long feet and are dedicated to finding the right pair of shoes for every customer.
