As a plus size woman its difficult to find shoes in my size. I wear a size 11 and it takes a tremendous amount of work to search for the right shoe. Besides the size it has to be able to support my weight and be fashionable. With that being said here are some of my favorite places to find some awesome shoe finds from Luxury and Affordable so let's get started:



LUXURY


Jewel High

The first place I am going to tell you guys about is a company called Jewel High. It was launched on March of 2013. Currently she is working on her collection but for now she has 2 pairs of awesome heels Poison and Tami.

Poison is a purple and yellow animal print platform heel. A mixture of both suede and leather is as complex and unique as it is both intriguing and fashionable, I love it! It's great for all the girls and guys who love high a heel but can't find it in their size. Plus the shoe is on trend with its vibrant colors and ultra high platform heel standing at a whopping 5'4" heel and a 1.5" platform. Available in sizes 6-15, Poison is definitely a must have in your spring/summer closet.



Poison will set you back $375



Tami on the hand is more on the minimalist side. In very pretty gunmetal and silver colors Tami has several different features that would draw the eye. Contrasting the gunmetal gray and silver was genius. It really allows the colors to play off of each other. The closed toe shoe has a window like view on the top of the shoe and interchangeable strap choose either gunmetal or silver your choice.can be worn with a beautiful evening dress or your favorite jeans. Tami also topples at 5'4" heel and a 1.5" platform.



Tami will set you back $395

These are my favorites of high end large size shoe companies that really cater to women, providing shoes in sizes 11 and up:


Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin, the king of all things couture. Starting out at a whopping $600 for one pair of shoes he goes all the way up to size 11 for his customers. His site allows for shopping directly from him or you can go check out your local high end fashion stores i.e. saks, nordstroms, macys, etc. ChristianLouboutin.com.












Very, Very expensive but honey if you got then by all means pay for it! But I don't have it and I have to admire from a far LMAO!

Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B.

Although I love Gwen Stefani's style and swag her shoe line is the BUSINESS. Unfortunately I haven't seen it go beyond a size 10! Aww and its a shame because the shoes are so awesome! I love Gwen Stefani's entire line. She's very avant garde and you can't help but admire her creativity. You can purchase her shoes at ZapposCouture.com and Heels.com as well as Nordstroms, Macys, Saks and more.

Check out some designs from L.A.M.B.:





















If you are a #shoefreak like me then you will be content with that price. But don't worry my frugal fashionistas your section will come!


AFFORDABLE

Torrid!

A popular store among plus size women is torrid.com! Torrid dabbles in everything from shoes to clothes to jewelry to handbags and even perfume! But for this blog were going to focus on the shoes. For all my girls wearing sizes 6-13, Torrid has beautiful shoes unique to their company. They even offer medium width and wide width. You will be pleasantly surprised at the selection they have available. Torrid has boots, heels, wedges, sandals and flats. They are very trendy and change their shoe collection about every 3-4 months.

Here are some of the shoes so cute:




















Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson's brand is one of the biggest affordable brands in the fashion industry to date. She has made herself the go to girl for women and girls who are looking for fashionable shoes without the high price. Jessica Simpson provides shoes in sizes 5-11. They are available everywhere. From Heels.com to Macys to Sears. I personally love Jessica Simpson's shoes. I don't have A-Lister star money and its difficult to find shoes that are on trend or fashionable (beyond Payless) that look great and are affordable and not $6,000! I mean you saw the Christian Louboutins its unfortunate for gals like me who cant afford it but Jessica Simpson has made life a little bit more fashionable for us! Here are some samples of what I'm talking about:











Payless Shoe Source

Speaking of Payless LMAO. Payless has been around for years over the last decade they have been stepping up their game making original fashionable shoes that look like a million bucks but cost 25 bucks! Its the most affordable place to shop in the world for affordable fashionable women's shoes! Designers have exclusively used Payless as their outlet source for their fashionable creations. Designers like Christian Siriano, Lela Rose, and Isabel Toledo just to name a few.

Here are some of my favorites currently available in size 11 on Payless.com:

Make Me Chic

I stumbled upon makemechic.com through YouTube. YouTube is a great way to find inexpensive clothing, makeup, anything you need most of these Gurus have found it! Its a great site and wonderful company. The site contains shoes, clothes and accessories. But today were going to focus on the shoes. The shoes are so CUTE! You are going to LOVE makemechic.com and not to mention the handbags! But thats another blog for another time. Anyway, the sizes are 5-11. They don't carry a wide selection of wide widths either so be careful of that. Here are some of my favorites currently available (can you tell I'm in love with the mint green and turquoise LOL :p ):

Aldo: Shoes

I wasn't hip to Aldo until my little sister started frequenting their store. She loves shopping at the mall and I would see her come home with a bag full of Aldo shoes and bags. Its her favorite store. Anyway, Aldo specializes in leather products but they provide a whole lot more. From heels, to clothes, to really cute bags, Aldo is a permanete fixture on this list for trendy, fashionable shoes at an affordable price! Normally ranging from sizes 6-10, they have a special sizes section on their site. Where there are shoes for size 11 only! AWESOME!!!! Checkout some of my faves:

Go Jane!

Go Jane is a very up to date shoe site that provides affordable shoes for size 5 to 11. Listen I love this site but it is so difficult to shop with them. Honestly I never get the shoes I really want because they are out of my size so fast. Go Jane is extremely cheap as well. They are so awesome. I mean I could frequent this site for a month and still won't get the shoes I want. I will still be subject to missing out on some of my favorite shoes. They have vey trendy and eclectic shoes. Shoes to wear to the club shoes to wear to a party everything. Check them out. I'm telling you that when you go there you'll be more than ecstatic at the selection. But find out when new shipments come in (email or call), that way you won't be stuck with the silly look on your face because you can't get the shoes you want. I'm always sad when I go to Go Jane! :( Here's some selections to choose from:

IronFist Clothing






This is my all-time FAVORITE shoe company EVER!!!! I love their shoes. I found them through torrid.com. I was shopping and saw that IronFist had made an exclusive shoe with torrid and made it available to their customers exclusively. I bought it and it was so comfortable and beautiful. I was in HEAVEN and I've been a loyal customer ever since! I have about 3 pairs of IronFist shoes and I love them dearly. I've bought several pairs of IronFist shoes but they didn't fit and I was upset because I really loved them. Some of the cutest and most avante garde shoes you will ever see believe me! (By the way some of the shoes are not available anymore take trip to amazon.com or eBay and you will find out of season favorites). By the way they have bundles! You can purchase 3 to 9 pairs of shoes at a time!
