Retailer Launches Large Sizes Line

NEW YORK (May 10, 2005) -

Barbara Thornton is no stranger to large sizes. As the president of Designershoes.com, she has already been serving women with large feet since 1997.

Now, Thornton has introduced another line and another website. The collection, Forgotten Soles, is available in 15 retail stores throughout the U.S. and Caribbean and is showcased on www.forgottensoles.com. The line, which runs from size 11 to size 15, includes five styles and a variety of colors and patterns for summer.

"These styles by Forgotten Soles arrives just in time for prom, cocktail parties, barbecues, beach, resort, office and everyday summer wear," said Thornton. "We are thrilled to offer these fabulous footwear choices to women who have had to watch from outside the window as their smaller footed sisters have all the shoe shopping fun."
