Variety is the spice of life

Glamazon Shoes has been cruising along for almost 7 months now and I’ve been fortunate enough to meet many different people. Initially, the main premise behind Glamazon was large shoe sizes for women, or beautiful shoes for bigger feet as per our tagline. Whilst the majority of customers have definitely been women with larger feet, there have been a few other interesting customer groups or segments emerging. Young tall girls in their teens often come in searching for size 11, size 12 and even size 13 shoes, so we do our best to always ensure that there are styles in store that will appeal to this younger group. Young teenage girls especially, can be quite particular about image and fashion. They tend to be less inclined to settle for any old shoe that fits, and why should they? Unfortunately if you’ve been searching for larger sizes over a prolonged period of time such as years (like some of us have), you can sometimes (read: often) weaken and settle for anything that fits.

Then there are other groups of customers that have graced Glamazon’s doorway – cross-dressers, transvestites and transsexuals. It’s been lovely to be able to fit these particular customers who are also constantly searching for larger women’s shoes. What I love in particular about my ‘boys and girls’ is that they’re not afraid to ‘bling it on’ and choose the really lovely dressy shoes, which proves that style knows no gender boundaries. I’ve even dabbled in some styling and had an absolute ball suggesting shoes for outfits. When you love fashion, you’re never too old to play at dress-ups!

One sentiment that has been expressed by all of the customer groups that I’ve mentioned is that it’s so nice not having to resort to the fetish and tranny shops for larger shoes anymore. Sure, the fetish shops may have their place but sometimes we just want a beautiful pair of heels in our size. We have big feet and we love shoes. Go figure.
