Why BigShoes.ie Exists!?
Posted by Shane Fallon on
Because Big Feet Deserve Better. I was a customer of Heathers/Bigshoes.ie for so many years before we (my wife and I) got the opportunity from Dave & Denise Heather to buy it from them.
Being Size UK13 when I was 12 years old, “act your age not your shoe size!”.My poor mother had nowhere to go to get them in Dublin, in Ireland in 1993!! It also didn’t help my shy awkwardness and not fitting in that If I could find anything it usually resembled a moon boot or a Viking longboat at best! Break out the inner child psychological trauma case… I’d love to now give people choice in the same position a choice and a place to rely on a few key things;
Finding shoes shouldn’t be difficult.
Yet for thousands of men across Ireland with UK shoe sizes 12 to 17, Dundrum shopping centre holds nothing for me! buying footwear often means settling for limited choice, ordering from overseas, or simply hoping that something, anything, fits.
At BigShoes.ie, we believe bigger feet deserve the same choice, style and quality as every other customer.
That’s why we’ve built Ireland’s specialist destination for men’s large-size footwear.
Proudly Irish. Proudly Independent.
BigShoes.ie is an independently owned Irish business, created to serve a community that has been overlooked for far too long.
When you shop with us, you’re supporting a local Irish company that understands the needs of Irish customers.
