6ft 9in Woman Shares Monthly Costs of Imported Size 11 Shoes: ‘It’s Frustrating’

A UK influencer, who stands at a whopping 6ft 9in tall, has revealed she spends thousands of dollars each month on importing shoes to fit her size 11 feet.

Katie Woolls is best known online for her striking stature, but while she loves to flaunt her leggy frame for fans, the 27-year-old says she struggles to find heels in her size.

She tells Daily Mail she is forced to shop internationally for feminine stilettos, spending up to £6,000 (AU$12,000) a month just to import them into the UK. 

‘I buy around 10 to 15 pairs of heels a month depending on what’s available and how much stock I can find,’ Katie says.

‘Some pairs I’ll wear regularly in videos or shoots if they’re comfortable or match different outfits, but others are more for show.’

Katie adds that she keeps 10 pairs of heels at home and locks the rest up in storage, often selling some of her used shoes to fans. 

She goes on to say she has the option to just wear men’s shoes, but admits she enjoys wearing feminine heels, which she claims are ‘impossible’ to find in the UK.  

‘I love wearing heels so I have to import shoes that fit from America,’ says Katie.  

‘Feminine size 11 shoes can range between £200 (AU$402) and £500 (AU$1,006) each. If I’m importing them, I can spend £6,000 (AU$12,000) a month on shoes.

‘It’s so frustrating for me. I like to buy a variety so there’s lots of different pairs in my content.’

It’s not just heels setting Katie back thousands of dollars, as she says it’s equally difficult tracking down clothes which fit her statuesque frame.  

‘Most high street brands stop at a size that barely fits my legs or arms,’ she says.

‘I have to order custom-made jeans and dresses, which can cost three or four times more than standard pieces.

‘I’d say I easily spend an extra £3,000 (AU$6,000) a month just trying to find clothes that actually fit and look feminine.’

Katie goes on to say that while it may be frustrating finding clothes and heels that fit her figure, she has managed to make the most of her towering height.

Once a sales manager in the tech industry, Katie started gaining a large following online for showing off her long legs and large feet.

Capitalising on her 1.1million followers, she signed up to OnlyFans in March 2023, saying she ‘never imagined my height would become my career’. 

‘Growing up, I was always the tallest in every photo by a mile,’ she recalls.

‘At school I got teased for being taller than the boys, and I’d always try to slouch to blend in.

‘Now I embrace it. I’ve turned what used to make me insecure into something empowering.’

But while Katie’s online career may have taken off in recent years, she says she is still struggling to get her dating life off the ground. 

‘To be honest, I get a lot of rejection,’ she admits.

‘It goes one of two ways. Men either really enjoy it [her height] and they want to fantasise about it, or they’re just not interested in dating someone with bigger feet,’ she adds.

‘It’s so frustrating because I’m a normal person, I’m just in a really tall body, so it’s difficult.

‘A lot of men see me as a one-off fantasy and then once they’re done with it, they don’t want to stick around.’

Katie says she is ready to get into a long-term relationship, but finds the men who want to date her are just trying to ‘tick it off their list’ and ‘get on with their life’.
