To make it an offence for retailers to under stock/produce size 9+ ladies shoes.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I am aware of many women , including myself, who continually feel discriminated against and under represented in most high street shops and retailers, due to the huge lack of large sized women’s shoes. There seems to always be an abundance of other sizes , but a definite lack in size 8,9 and 10.

As the decades have gone by, both males and females have started to grow inches and feet taller than our ancestors, primarily due to better healthcare, living conditions and nutrition. Some women now have much larger feet than their grandmothers and it is felt that this is NOT reflected my a multitude of retailers. Many women have to IMPORT larger sized shoes from other countries and stock from UK retailers is massively underproduced BOTH in store and in online platforms.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It is up to retailers to decide what sized shoes they stock and not the UK Government or Parliament.
