Hi friends!
I am so excited to give you, my readers and supporters, the opportunity to be a part of the final stages of our making comfortable, stable, supportive, and attractive shoes for women with lipedema. I know you’ve been watching all the progress unfold for a while and waiting for the chance to be a part of this project, so here it is! Please contribute a little something today.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us get inventory started and start filling orders, so our ladies won’t have to be forced to cut the sides out of shoes or make their own shoes of duct tape (so their feet will fit), wrap their feet in saran wrap to walk to the car in the snow, wear men’s black trainers with dresses or be stuck in the house because they can’t find shoes, any longer. (Yes, these are all real stories!). We are filling an absolutely unmet need with this project.
The footwear team is finally crossing the finish line after two years of work with our lipedema lady focus groups, measuring parties, and rounds of fit testers wearing our prototypes, and we are IN MANUFACTURING! Now, we need a little help crossing the finish line to help pay for the first rounds of inventory to make the shoes available for sale to our ladies. Can you help?
Please check out the GoFundMe site to contribute to this important effort to that will enhance the quality of life for lipedema ladies, foster inclusivity, boost self-esteem, and enable women to get back out of their houses with confidence! By making these shoes, we are telling the world that women with lipedema matter and need to be included in fashion. This is just the beginning!

Thank you so much for supporting women with lipedema, following me, and being a part of this incredible journey.
Much Love!
Susan
PS: Next design coming to prototype – CALF BOOTS made just for us, with ample ankles and adjustable calf sizes that start where the extra wide calf boots on the market today, stop! It’s a pretty big deal.
