Katia’s major problem, with her correspondingly large feet, meant shoe shopping was always a nightmare.
Who stocks size 14 women’s shoes that are stylish and comfortable?
The answer was literally nobody, and it was this gap in the market that has taken Katia on her journey to launch Naked Sole, a a brand that delivers stylish footwear for sizes 7 to 15.
Her mission, since launch earlier this year, has been to offer chic, comfortable, and high-quality shoes for those who have long been overlooked by mainstream brands.
From elegant heels for special occasions to everyday flats, Naked Sole ensures no one is left out and that fashion can be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their shoe size.
Best sellers on the Naked Sole website include the Mecca flat sandals in bone leather.
These chunky two-strap slide sandals have a comfy moulded footbed and padded crossover straps, perfect to slip on at home or the beach.
A range of ankle boots are also super popular and wearers can elevate their look with the Cameron black leather ankle boots, which are Naked Sole’s refined rendition of the timeless black Chelsea boots.
A solid and comfortable block heel, intricately sculpted square toe, and soft leather upper render, the boots are a must-have for winter.
Naked Sole also stocks a range of heels which go as high a you like.
There are delicate strappy heels or more workwear-style mules as well as kitten heels and nude slingbacks, the epitome of timeless elegance.
The response from shoppers has been overwhelmingly positive since the brand launched.
“Divine,” wrote one.
“Gorge,” added another.
“Obsessedddd,” reads a third of the comments on Naked Sole’s images.
“I love that you guys are inclusive for the bigger feet,” said another.
