About Us
What is LegsLikeMine? LegsLikeMine is a small, women-owned business that was originally designed to support the up to 11% of women in the world, who have a fat disorder called Lipedema. We provide beauty-enhancing, functional products and support services to improve life. Once we started making footwear, we learned that there is a huge community of people who require made to measure footwear for all kinds of reasons, and we began making footwear for everyone who needs a made to measure shoe that doesn’t look “orthopedic.”
Now Legs Like Mine has become a collaborative effort between our amazingly talented design Team based out of the UK, and our made to measure manufacturer, who is based out of Brazil. We also make our own line of ready to wear shoes using a variety of manufacturers, and buy products from other vendors, such as Frankie4, who are podiatrist-owned, out of Australia.
Who owns LegsLikeMine? Susan O’Hara, from Yukon, Oklahoma in the USA owns and runs LegsLikeMine. Susan has had lipedema for years, starting with the birth of her first child in 2001 and the condition has progressed through various hormonal changes, stress. Unfortunately, as many women who have this condition also experience, Susan did not know about lipedema until just two years ago, when working and advocating with her doctor that something just wasn’t right. It was after numerous MRIs, knee surgeries, xrays, and a bout with tendonitis that a doctor asked who was treating her condition and for the first time, called it by name. Only then was Susan able to dig on the internet to find specialists and occupational therapists familiar with Lipedema and Lymphedema and begin using compression and massage techniques to manage the condition. Susan has fought for years to find boots, shoes and clothes that fit. One other note is that Susan is a professional and has a full time position in management for a large agency; she has extensive training in project and product management, development of proprietary software systems, and leadership. LegsLikeMine is a work of passion and necessity.
