Breaking Barriers in Footwear: Celebrating Women’s Larger Foot Sizes

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, the ability to adapt and listen to customer needs is a hallmark of success. At Cocorose London, a brand synonymous with purpose, comfort and style, we have embraced this ethos wholeheartedly. Since 2007, Cocorose has long been a favorite amongst women seeking stylish, comfortable footwear, and our inclusive size range – spanning EU35 to EU43 – solidifies our reputation as a trailblazer in the footwear industry. 

A Response to Real Women’s Needs 

The decision to include sizes EU42 and EU43 in Cocorose’s collection wasn’t a corporate initiative – it was a direct response to customer demand. Women across the globe began voicing their need for stylish, comfortable shoes in larger sizes, and we listened. This "you asked, we listened" approach highlights our commitment to customer feedback and inclusivity. 

Women with larger feet often face challenges in finding shoes that fit well and reflect their personal style. Traditional retail options for sizes above EU41 can be limited, forcing women to choose between comfort and fashion. We refused to accept this status quo. By adding EU42 and EU43 to our collection over 5 years ago, Cocorose has not only filled a gap in the market since, but also sent a powerful message: style and comfort should not be exclusive. 

Why Larger Sizes Matter 

The demand for larger sizes isn’t a niche request – it reflects a broader shift in acknowledging diverse body types and needs. Studies show that average shoe sizes have increased over the years, with women’s feet growing larger due to factors such as genetics, better nutrition, and changes in lifestyle. However, many footwear brands have been slow to adapt, leaving women with larger feet underserved. 

Cocorose London’s move to include EU42 and EU43 acknowledges this reality and aligns with our mission of empowering women through comfort, confidence and happiness.

Customer Stories: A Testament to Inclusivity 

For many women, finding stylish shoes in larger sizes can be a frustrating struggle. Our decision to offer sizes EU42 and EU43 wasn't easy from a production perspective, but we believed in the transformative experience it would have on customers and how it would enhance their lives. 

One customer shared her story, saying:
