Your Questions About Ladies Shoes Size 12

Sharon asks…

I need statistics about the number of women in America who wear a size 9 (or above) shoe.?

This is for research paper for my direct marketing class. I want to prove that there is a market for larger size shoes for trendy young women. I am a marketing student who models. I am very tall and a size 12 shoe. I go to school with other tall lovelies who have trouble finding shoes they want. Those lovley ladies count as primary sources but-- I need "already done" research so that I can site my sources on a larger scale. Are there any secondary sources that are sharing this kind of info? I searched nytimes.com and google and I did not find any relevant articles. Is there a footwear/ shoe size national trade association or anything like that? What other sources should I try? Thanks.

Our pick of the answers:

You should be able to get that information from the National Shoe Retailers Association. (see link below). I've also included a link to an article that talks about average shoe size.

Hey since you are in the UK,Try endless.com (I think it's the new javari.co.uk), zappos.com, barratts.co.uk, www.katielongshoes.co.uk. I am a US size 12 myself and completely understand what you are going through. Also, I am working on a survey for ladies with size 11 and above and I was wondering if you would be interested in taking my survey. If so, please reply and I can give you more info. Hope these sites help and good luck with the shoe search.
