The history of the brand coincides with the life story of a girl Tess by name. The girl was growing up in her native town of Baltimore. But the girl had a problem: she couldn’t find footwear to fit her size. Actually, she had an 11.

Tess was a fashion conscious girl, she tried to look trendy but she found herself getting ‘tripped’ up because of big feet. Looking for something smarter, she was offered a male or casual style.

The idea of shoe manufacturing belonged to Tess’s mother as she had got tired of seeing her daughter wearing flip flops all the time.

Today Tess is a successful woman who creates shoes of big sizes. From the childhood she has been fond of fashion. She spent hours surfing fashion sites and magazines. She knew everything about designers’ new collections and celebrities’ preferences.

According to Tess’s words, the satisfaction you get wearing a new dress is the best mood elevator. As early as 2005, Tess launched The Barefoot Tess brand which was a great success. The reason of such popularity is clear, there are lots of people with the same problems for whom Barefoot Shoes are a rescue.

The principle of the Barefoot Tess brand is to produce trendy and quality shoes for big-footed, fashion-conscious women all over the world.
