Default ElephantFeet - New shop for larger sizes

Just got back from a great day out in Oxford with some more of the gang and reading the Daily Telegraph.

They have printed an article about a shop in Brixton, London who specialise in larger sizes and who have some nice designs on their website.

The site url is

http://www.elephantfeet.com

Apparently the shop was started by a Nigerian man Emeka Egemonye who has size 14 feet and was dismayed by the poor selection on sale (tell us something new!) so he set his own shop up and scours the world for supplies. Initially he only stocked mens shoes but then realised that women (and us) also needed larger sizes. His shop is in Atlantic Road Brixton, London and he ships worldwide.

See what you thing, I was certainly impressed by the range of styles on the website.

Not a bad range. It would nice if they did a few 4 inch heels though. Actually some of those probably are 4 inch in the larger sizes but you know what I mean 4 inch equivelant lift.

Stiletto, stiletto, stiletto.

Not seeing them, but then, that's a far ways to go, so maybe that's fine.

Some of the shoes are fashionable, I do have to compliment the site for that.

Yes, more fashionable than the usual large size offerings but as you say the real high fashion styles are missing. Just one or two would be nice to give the taller ladies that choice if they want it.

Sigh, while it's great to see the larger men's shoes it's frustrating to see their max size for women's shoes only hit 13 :(
