Biography
Kathryn Kerrigan remembers visiting each of the 6 regional malls in the Chicago-area to find prom shoes for her size 11 feet. She didn’t know it at the time, but her exercise in footwear frustration would later provide inspiration for a booming business. Her need for stylish shoes to suit her six-foot-tall frame continued into her professional life. Handcrafted in Italy, Kathryn’s designs give the soles a well-deserved break from constricting fabrics, uncomfortable heels and flats. The handcrafted construction provides gentle control without rough materials and machine-made fabrication. The soft leather lining allows the soles to breathe without constricting or pinching the toes. The moderate arch and soft, elastic back found on the ballet flats provide additional comfort. Even though her business was created for tall women, her designs are available in all sizes Euro 35 – 46.
