About Us

Crafted with Purpose.
Big Shoes has been part of the Swiss retail scene for over 30 years, serving women in search of quality and comfort. In 2012, Gabriela took the lead of the business and reimagined its mission with a clear and passionate focus: to become the go-to destination for stylish, high-quality footwear in larger sizes.
With her background in health and years of experience advising women, Gabriela brought a unique perspective to the world of shoes — one rooted in real needs, elegant design, and craftsmanship that lasts. Today, Big Shoes offers a curated selection of European brands and custom handmade models, chosen not only for their fit but for their soul.
Big Shoes is made for women who move with purpose — strong, graceful, and never willing to compromise.

Chosen with Heart.
Led by Gabriela since 2012, Big Shoes reflects her deep understanding of the real needs of women who wear larger sizes — and her passion for timeless, well-crafted design.
With years of experience advising clients, Gabriela has developed a unique eye for fit, comfort and elegance. She works closely with trusted European shoemakers and ateliers to curate models that combine structure, beauty and freedom of movement.
Big Shoes is more than a store — it’s a personal mission to support strong, practical women with footwear that truly fits their lives.

Wise Selected
We work exclusively with family-run companies and traditional European workshops that honor the art of shoemaking. Our models are carefully selected and often handcrafted by artisans with generations of experience.
We don’t accept mass production or chemically overloaded products. Instead, we choose sustainable materials — like chrome-free leathers — and slow processes that respect both the craft and the wearer.
Each pair is a quiet expression of excellence: made to last, made to move with you.


Big Size, Big Style
Is for the practical, powerful woman who moves with intention. For the one who wants comfort without compromise. For the one who never settles.
