'Give women with bigger feet the opportunity to buy affordable shoes from chain stores'

In a petition put out yesterday by 'change.org, The world's platform for change', (https://www.change.org/), South African consumer Tilla Victor wrote:       Do you know the frustration?
      You need shoes for work, a wedding or a hiking trip.
      You walk from shop to shop in your last, 5 year old pair of trustworthy shoes, just to be disappointed, over and over again.
      Most shops stock up only to a size 8. The only 9’s or, if you are lucky, 10’s, have Marie Biscuits soles and spaghetti straps and are only available in navy blue. You need cream.
      By the end of the day, you’re heading home with a pair of men's flip flops in black, cause that was the only thing that fits. Exhausted, disappointed and frustrated.
      Shopping online is usually a case of trying to send back everything in huge effort.
      I would like us ladies to stand together and set up a petition for general retailers to take us seriously and give us a choice to also look our best in their clothes.
      We want pretty, comfortable shoes that mostly supports the longer, bigger body that goes with the bigger feet. Clothes are available up to a size 50 and designed to look good and feel good on a bigger body, but shoe sizes stops at a size 8.
      Clothes can be home made, shoes not.
      We want a shop where we could walk in and fit on different colours and different styles and pay a normal price. Health shoes are pretty expensive and mostly very basic and not flattering at all.
      Please girls, the struggle is real. Let’s do something about it.
