These are exciting times for stylish women with big feet. Major retailers are starting to sit up and take notice of the steady increase in women's shoe sizes, and an emerging crop of talented young designers and new brands are offering larger sizes. Whether you are a luxe-loving fashion princess, a fan of hardworking well-priced basics, or like us, a little bit of both, there is a new brand for you to get excited about.

Here's our round up of the 5 best new shoe designers and brands for women with big feet:

Cutting-edge style

Our top tip for the shoe designer to watch, Burak Uyan is currently relatively unknown outside of fashions inner circle of design houses and celebrity stylists, but the frequency his designs have appeared on A-listers on the red carpet this year suggests this is all about to change.

Formerly on the Givenchy design team, and most recently at Giambattista Vialli, where he was credited with turning the footwear arm of the label around, Burak launched his own label in 2011. Now available on Net-a-Porter and with his own website launching soon, you are going to hear more about this designer.

Inspired by a love of architecture and modernist design, German-born Parisian Burak's footwear combines twisted geometrical designs with a very French sensuality. The results are highly original, but wearable, design masterpieces. Can you tell we're fans?

Launched in 1999, but new to us, Lisbon-based Luis Onofre is a Portuguese designer beloved by style powerhouses Michelle Obama and Paris Hilton (who both have size 11 to 11.5 feet). His elegant designs combine a recognizably European sense of understated chic with eye-catching detailing, such as colored linings peeking out of sandals, or luxe touches of metallic.

Available only from Onofre's Lisbon store or online, his designs are shoes worthy of tracking down.

Coming Soon

Lonia Shoes
