Everyone has a part of them that is a “tough fit.” I am lucky to be a standard size 8 shoe, but I cannot even imagine the hell of having a size 11 or larger shoe.

Luckily the good people at Barefoot Tess have recognized this problem, and are making strides to close the gap in shoe sizes. Barefoot Tess only offers shoes size 10 and larger. You won’t find any nurses shoes here. Barefoot Tess strives to offer shoes you actually want to wear. They offer a wide selection of shoes from well-known designers such as Delman, Donald J. Pilner, Loeffler Randall, Havianas, Steve Madden, and more. The site also offers its own, reasonably-priced house brand of shoes, designed exclusively for the full-footed woman.

Barefoot Tess is offering Spork Fashion readers a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to use on their site. All you have to do is head over BarefootTess.com and email them with your most embarrassing, creative, compelling, or humorous story about the trials of shopping for larger-sized shoes. You can also email your stories directly to sporkfashion@barefoottess.com. The best story wins a $100 gift certificate!

Not a lucky winner, or just impatient? Barefoot Tess has graciously offered 20% your next purchase. Just enter the code SPORK at checkout.

This is just a small sampling of the shoes available at Barefoot Tess. All these shoes are exclusive to their site.
