Have you ever compared the numbers on the soles of your shoes to those of your friends? Not that women need yet another thing to be self-conscious about, but — likely thanks to Cinderella’s size 4.5 glass slippers — tiny feet have become a standard for beauty and femininity.
However, Disney princess-sized feet are quickly becoming a relic of the past. Thanks to evolution, the average foot size has increased steadily over the past century.

As women’s average foot size increases, sizes 8½ and 9 have become the most commonly worn shoe sizes in the U.S. (Credit: kei907 / Shutterstock)
“At the beginning of the 20th century, the average woman wore a size 3.5 or size 4 shoe,” TIME Magazine reports. “This increased to a 5.5 in the ’40s and remained this way till the ’60s. By the 1970s, the average female foot was a 7.5 and now, forty years later, the most common foot size for the American female is somewhere between 8 ½ and a 9.”
So, are retailers seeing growing demand for larger shoe sizes? It turns out, it’s just biology.
“People are getting taller and heavier, as they have for generation after generation,” podiatric historian William Rossi told lifestyle blog Divine Caroline. “And their feet are getting larger in proportion to their bodies.”
So, if you have feet in the double-digit size range — or close to it — you’re not alone. Shoe retailers like Nordstrom and Zappos carry women’s shoes up to size 16, indicating a significant demand for larger sizes.
And, of course, celebrities have bigger-than-average feet. Take a look at our list of celebrities who have to shop on the larger end of the shoe size spectrum.
1. Kendall Jenner – Defying Internet Trolls with Her Size 10 “Spider Toes”
Kendall Jenner may be one of today’s hottest models, but she’s also a frequent target of internet criticism. People have always criticized her long toes, with many describing them as “weird.”
“Yeah, it’s kind of painful! I’ll be honest, she told ELLE about being uncomfortable in high heels. “I have the longest toes in the world; they’re spider toes. They are. I have spider fingers, too! So they’re kind of being crunched right now…”

Take, for example, her April 2022 Instagram photo that was met with ridicule. While she looked stunning in a Loewe blur print tank dress and Dries Van Noten platform thong sandals, her sisters Kylie and Khloé made fun of her ‘big toes’ in comments underneath the post.

“Hahahaha even from me??? I love your big ass toes,” Khloé commented after Kendall threatened to block people making fun of her big feet.
Despite all the criticism, Kendall has remained unfazed and never shied away from wearing sandals. Her shoe size shouldn’t be surprising because Kendall is a whopping 5’10” tall.

2. Khloé Kardashian – Why Her Photos Make Her Feet Look Even Bigger
Khloé is another member of the Kardashian-Jenner family known for having large feet.

Like Kendall, she’s also a size ten but stands less than an inch shorter than her model half-sister. In February 2021, Khloé explained why her feet often look enormous in Good American campaign photos.
“HA I’m cracking up! 4a few of those GA photos, we shot on a camera lens that creates a stretching effect. The closer the object is to camera they will get elongated,” Khloé said.
If you’re looking to visually downplay the length of your feet—especially in photos—this stretching effect can actually work against you. For a more flattering look, avoid pointed-toe shoes, which naturally elongate the foot. Instead, opt for rounded or square-toe styles, which help create the illusion of shorter, more proportionate feet.

“So in some of my photos my feet/fingers look incredibly long. Not to worry! I still have normal size hands/fingers.”
“It’s just the lens guys! LOL but some of these stories are really reaching,” she added.
“I mean..LOL how could anyone believe this is the size of my feet?! It’s the angle and the type of lens. And personally, I think this camera lens is so f**king cool. It gives the photo a different vibe and not the same old visual I always see. Either way, I’m happy with them.”

3. Heidi Klum – Model Secrets for Rocking Size 11 Feet in Stilettos
Heidi Klum has some of the sexiest feet in the industry. She’s almost 5’10” tall and wears a size 11.

The German model spilled her stiletto-wearing secrets to Fitness Magazine. Heidi said she wears foot cushions to ease the pain when she needs to be on her feet between 10 and 14 hours a day.

She also takes good care of her feet by getting regular manicures and pedicures.
“I always think it’s important to have beautiful hands and beautiful feet,” she said. “You just never know what shoe they’re going to give you and then you have to take your shoes off and they’re like ‘Oh my god!’ You know, in my business, hands, and feet always have to look good.”

4. Cindy Crawford – Timeless Beauty with Size 10 Feet
Thanks to her height and renowned athletic build, Cindy Crawford is among the most famous models of all time.

She stands 5’9” and wears a size 10. The American model is the same height as her model daughter, Kaia, whose shoe size is slightly smaller at only 8.5.

5. Mandy Moore – From “Big Foot” Nicknames to Owning Her Shoe Size
Mandy Moore has been called Big Foot, and even Justin Timberlake once poked fun at the size of her feet.

At 5’9”, Mandy wears a size 10. And sadly, she’s not proud of it.
“I found this bizarre, unofficial Mandy Moore book (while rummaging through old memorabilia],” she told Jimmy Kimmel. “It’s an actual book that was for sale for $12.95 that someone wrote without me knowing about it, but it has lots of fun facts. Like, this page here is ’10 Things We Love About Mandy,’ and the very first fact is ‘Mandy is proud of her big feet. She wears a size 10 shoe. They call her Big Foot but she doesn’t care, she thinks they’re cool feet.’”
Mandy laughed while quoting the book during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“I do have a size-10 foot, but I’m not proud of it!”

6. Kate Beckinsale – Why Her Size 10 Feet Are a Hit with Foot Enthusiasts
Kate Beckinsale may stand at 5’7″, but the “Underworld” actress wears a whopping size 10 shoe.

Interestingly (and creepily) enough, Kate’s large feet are popular among foot fetish enthusiasts. Why? Her feet may be large, but they are also curvy, and she has long, attractive toes.

7. Freida Pinto – Overcoming Big-Footed Struggles in Small-Sized India
Freida Pinto, known for her role in “Slumdog Millionaire,” is only 5’5”, but she wears a size 10.5 shoe. Freida said she struggled to find shoes growing up because her home country of India only catered to women with small shoe sizes.

“I have a size ten-and-a-half foot, but growing up in India it was very difficult to find my size when all the shoes were made for smaller feet,” she told The Strategist magazine. “My feet weren’t represented at all.”
Shoes with thicker, horizontal, or diagonal straps—like T-bar sandals or Mary Janes—help break up the length of the foot, making it appear shorter and more proportionate. Avoid vertical or ultra-thin straps that expose too much of the foot, which can visually elongate it.

8. Brooke Shields – Why Her Size 10 Feet Are Perfect for a 6-Foot Frame
Brooke Shields began her career in Hollywood at the age of 12, so she basically grew up in the limelight. Aside from her acting and beauty, her bold eyebrows also made her famous.

One thing you might not know about the “Blue Lagoon” star is that she rocks size 10 shoes. She’s six feet tall, so having such huge feet isn’t surprising.

9. Bryce Dallas Howard – Running in High Heels (Yes, Really) With Size 10 Feet
The eldest daughter of actor and director Ron Howard gained wider recognition for starring as Claire Dearing in “Jurassic World” and its sequel, “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”

Although she’s only 5’7”, she wears size 10 shoes. And the American actress/filmmaker seems to have no issues about her large feet.
Remember when she ran in high heels in the 2014 adventure film?
“It was important to me – it was hard for me to be Claire without those heels,” she said in an interview with Radio Times. “It was like her armor, you know? It was her strength. So yeah, I ran through the jungle, for a few months, in high-heeled shoes!”

10. Lucy Lawless – Xena’s Legendary Size 10 Feet
Lucy Lawless is famous for her role as a warrior princess in the ‘90s TV series, “Xena: Warrior Princess.”

With a height of 5’10”, a muscular build, and the accompanying big feet, Lucy was definitely the perfect choice for the role.

11. Lauren Ambrose – Size 10 Feet That Defy Her Average Height
You probably know her as one of the lead stars in the TV drama, “Six Feet Under.” But you probably didn’t realize that this 5’6” actress wears a size 10.

Lauren’s shoe size might be unusual considering her average height, but it hasn’t seemed to affect her red-carpet style choices in any way.

12. Jennifer Lawrence – Why She’s Proudly Rocking Size 10.5 Shoes

13. Serena Williams – How Size 10.5 Feet Helped a Tennis Icon Dominate the Court
Perhaps having big feet is an advantage for pro athlete Serena Williams. The professional tennis player stands 5’9” and wears a 10.5 shoe size.

14. Audrey Hepburn – Grace, Beauty, and an Unexpected Size 10.5 Foot
Did you know film and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn had a larger-than-average shoe size? Given what we said earlier about the average woman’s shoe size increasing over time, it’s surprising that this film star, born in the 1920s, wore a size 10.5.

Despite being a woman of unmatched beauty, Audrey struggled with confidence in her appearance. “I’d like to be not so flat-chested,” she once said.” I’d like not to have such angular shoulders, such big feet and such a big nose.”

15. Jerry Hall – Turning Her Size 11 Feet Into a Supermodel Statement
Jerry Hall always manages to stand out wherever she goes. Aside from her signature big blonde hair and striking fashion sense, the model-slash-actress is six feet tall.
“Big feet and wonky teeth,” she responded when asked by The Guardian what she dislikes most about her appearance.

Given Jerry’s towering height, you’d think she was a size 12 or 13. But, surprisingly, Mick Jagger’s ex-wife wears just a size 11. They may be quite small for her height, but they’re considerably huge compared to the average woman’s feet.

16. Kate Winslet – From “Canoes” to Confidence: Her Size 11 Shoe Journey
Kate Winslet stands 5ft 6 (167.6 cm), but her shoe size is 11. Kate has often been criticized for having huge feet that don’t match her body proportions. She discussed her feet in a 2004 interview with the Daily Mail.
I have really big feet. I get them from my mother – she has even bigger feet than I do. And I’m five-foot six-and-a-half, so I’m not particularly tall.
Even her Titanic co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, thinks her feet are hilarious.
Leonardo took great delight in taking the mick out of the size of my feet. He would just fall about laughing because my feet are exactly the same size as his and he is 6ft 1in. He would refer to them as my canoes.
Surprisingly, Kate doesn’t have the biggest feet in her family. She said her mom wears a size 13.

Idris Elba has a unique fascination with feet, as revealed by Kate Winslet during their appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” in October 2017, while promoting their film “The Mountain Between Us.”
Winslet directed a sex scene in the film and was surprised when Elba asked her to keep her socks on during the scene because he has a “foot thing.”

Elba admitted to having this peculiar preference, which turned out to be a fondness for feet. Despite Winslet’s initial concern about her own feet, Elba reassured her that he doesn’t mind them.
“I’ve got very, very big feet and they’re not particularly beautiful feet, either,” Winslet admitted. To which, Elba responded: “They’re all right, they’re all right.”

17. Maria Sharapova – Big Feet, Big Wins: How Her Size 11 Shoes Helped Her Succeed
Maria Sharapova, a former world number one and five-time Grand Slam champion, is further proof that large feet can be beneficial for professional athletes. Her shoe size is 11.

18. Cate Blanchett – How Her Size 9 Feet Make Red Carpet Heels Look Effortless
Cate Blanchett is a seasoned red-carpet pro with over two decades of experience in the industry. But while she’s used to walking the red carpet, there are moments when she struggles to walk in heels.

Remember when she removed her Givenchy shoes at the Cinderella premiere? Her size 9 feet could probably no longer stand the pain.
Yes, this 5’9” actress has enormous feet, too, but given her height, it’s no longer a surprise.

19. Katie Holmes – Battling Bunions and Embracing Her Size 11 Feet
Aside from being Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes is perhaps best known for her role in the hit TV series “Dawson’s Creek.”
Unfortunately, the actress is also known for having unusual-looking feet and is aware of it as well.

She stands 5’9” and wears a size 11. In 2019, a source told Globe Magazine Katie “desperately wants to do something about her crooked toes and unsightly bunions, and she’s consulted with her surgeon.”

“Designers push Katie to wear pretty shoes on the red carpet, but her toes are long and knobby and getting a pedicure doesn’t help,” the source added.

20. Meg Ryan – Why She Credits Her Size 11 Feet for Her Acting Skills
Meg Ryan rose to stardom with the 1989 romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally” and quickly earned her title as the queen of ’90s rom-coms.
While she exudes a petite and charming vibe, Meg is surprisingly tall at 5’8” and boasts a larger-than-average shoe size, adding to her unique presence.

She wears a size 11, and she once joked that her large feet were her secret to her excellent acting.

21. Gwyneth Paltrow – How Size 11 Feet Never Hold Back Her Love for Heels
The “Iron Man” star has always been comfortable about her body. Gwyneth stands 5’9” and wears a size 11.

22. Uma Thurman – From Insecurities to Iconic: Her Size 11 Feet on Screen
Uma Thurman’s big feet became infamous after Quentin Tarantino, known to have a foot fetish, gave them valuable screen time in the 2003 movie, “Kill Bill: Volume 1.”

She stands 5’11”, so the fact that Uma wears a size 11 isn’t surprising. Although the “Pulp Fiction” star has a well-proportioned body, she once said she felt insecure about her appearance.
“I was always physically insecure,” she said. “Big feet, too tall, not coordinated, or together.”

23. Paris Hilton – Turning Size 11 “Clown Shoes” Into a Business Opportunity
Paris Hilton lives for the limelight. However, the hotel heiress wouldn’t be pleased if all eyes were fixated on her feet.

Paris confessed in her memoir that the one thing she hated the most about her body was her size 11 feet. “I see all these super-cute shoes in the stores. And when they’re brought out in my size, they look like clown shoes on me!”
T-strap heels generally make your feet look smaller. The T-shaped strap design, with a vertical strap running down the center of the foot and a horizontal strap across the top, creates a visual effect that breaks up the foot’s length and width.

But, leave it to Paris to turn her struggles into a business venture. The 5’8” heiress-turned-reality-star started her own footwear company that caters to women with huge feet.

24. Nicole Kidman – Towering Heights and Her Signature Size 11 Heels
Nicole Kidman is one of the tallest actresses in the industry, and she regularly towers over her husband, Keith Urban, on the red carpet.

Nicole stands 5’11 “(sans the heels), while her husband is 5’10”. Even her shoe size is an inch larger than Keith’s. She’s a size 11, while he’s a size 10.

25. Jessica Biel – Small Stature, Surprising Size 9 Shoes
She’s only 5’7”, so we’re surprised that Esquire magazine’s 2005 Sexiest Woman Alive wears size nine shoes.

26. Oprah Winfrey – Discovering Her True Shoe Size at 11
Oops? Oprah Winfrey undertook a closet clean-out in 2010 as part of a charity project with O, The Oprah Magazine.
While cleaning out her closet with her magazine’s creative director, Adam Glassman, Oprah discovered why her shoes had always felt uncomfortable.

As a result, she auctioned off all her size 10 shoes and restocked her wardrobe with shoes in her actual size.

Given that Whoopi is much shorter than almost every other celebrity on this list, her size 11 feet are quite unusual.

28. Jenna Elfman – Dancing Her Way to Fame on Size 11 Feet

30. Tyra Banks – From Size 11.5 to 12: Why Comfort Comes First
Tyra Banks began her career as a model and has since gone on to inspire and mentor aspiring models through her reality TV series, “America’s Next Top Model.”
