Got big feet?

Hey, it's nothing to be embarrassed of, especially if you're tall -- it pretty much comes with the territory.

At six feet tall, Kathryn Kerrigan turned her frustration of not being able to find fashionable shoes in large sizes into a booming business.

Kathryn Kerrigan Footwear is so booming, in fact, that Inc.com recently named her the "No.1 Female Entrepreneur Under 30 in America."

She's done her research and found that more than 30 percent of women's footwear is purchased in sizes 9+ and most shoe factories stop production at size 10 or 11. Handcrafted in Italy, her designs are the latest footwear options for tall women and are worn by WNBA athletes and professional models and actresses, she says.

Kerrigan is making an appearance in Milwaukee on Friday, Nov. 16 to tell her story. She'll be at Decibel / Deep Bar, 1905 E. North Ave., for the Fall Fascination Fashion Show, which run from 8 to 10:30 p.m.
