  2. Dear Amy, I am onewith the other problem, narrow feet. Used to get laughed out of stores trying to find 6 1/2 tripple A. A few children later, I have 7 1/2 AA feet so it’s better. I work with women all the time trying to find pretty shoes for their great Doncaster outfits. What is your size range generally?

    • Hi Molly:
      I’ve heard other women complain about the same situation. We have as small as 6 and 7 but specializing in the wide. However, I do have vendors that carry narrows and slims. Let me know what your style is and I can check with the vendors to see what options they may have for you.

      Regards,

  3. Hi Amy
    I’m glad that your seeing your dream come true. I am a rather big and elegant TS woman chasing my dream and although I can work at keeping the weight down my feet will remain a size 12w. I know there are others out there like me that can’t find shoes to fit. If you do they are not your style or the price is horrible. Like most women I can’t afford $100 + per pair of shoes. I love having a wide choice of shoes to wear but a rather small budget. So I want to say thank you for your story and thank you for providing a place to purchase shoes with style and grace and a reasonable cost too. Then I would ask you to consider an online store for those of us that can’t get to Tampa. I have a daughter that lives in the Tampa area, but I’m no longer allowed to visit so even though I would love to come into your store and talk to you one on one. I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Take care and God bless!

    • Thanks Shawn for your kind words. I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  5. P.S. Thank you for the store! All the women in my family have shoe sizes over size 10 and have a hard time finding shoes. Thank you for realizing that wonderful women come in all shapes and sizes!!

  6. I never would have believed I would find a store like yours! After years of seeing pretty shoes in all the other sizes, I felt consigned to clunky shoes! Thanks for making it happen!!

    • Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for your kind words. I totally understand what you are feeling, been there too. Feel free to drop by on a Saturday and check us out.

      Regards,

  7. Hi,
    Just finished watching you on the afternoon news. I not only have a wide foot but in a size 12. Do you have many styles in that size and also I thought I heard her say on the news that you have a store in Clearwater? I don’t like to purchase shoes I have not tried on.

    Thanks!
    Virginia

    • Thank you so much for contacting us. We do have 12 wide in stock. I’m sad to say that we don’t have a store in Clearwater yet.

      Look forward to seeing you soon!

  8. Thank you for contacting us and congratulations to your brother. Feel free to give her my contact info and have her call and if possible drop by that’s if she comes visit Tampa.

  9. Glad to have found you, saw your experience on ABC tv, and was inspired by your journey.

    • Thank you Elizabeth for tuning in. I look forward to meeting you when you come visit. We are open on Saturdays from 10 -4pm so stop by.

  10. I wear size 12-1/2 AA and can’t find any half sizes. Do you carry larger than 12?
    I am very interested in closed toe shoes for the office to wear especially in the fall and winter.

  11. I’m an 8 1/2 (sometimes wide), and I want black knee-high boots with a gentle heel & it’s impossible with my 18inch calves. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

    • Thanks for contacting us Christy. I’m not sure what you mean by gentle heel but if you are in our vicinity come by the store on Saturday and we’ll see what options we can hook you up with.

  12. Sorry for not responding sooner Joyce. Yes we are still in business though with limited operating hours. Saturdays from 10 – 4pm and you can reach me at (813)928-8609.
