Founder and CEO Lidia Talavera has spent her entire adult life on the hunt for heels that invoke fashion, style, and allure and make a statement. However, she has had very little success. Throughout her adult life, improvising with oversized shoes had become her only option. Her passion for fashion and her frustration with her shoe size lead to the development of her new concept for fashionable, custom-made high heels. She is now paving the way for any woman, and friends in the LGBTQ+ community, to customize a wide range of sizes regardless of gender.
Lidia Talavera offers an all-inclusive line of pumps, sandals, belts, and pet collars in more than 50 colors with the highest handcrafted quality manufacturing leathers. We collaborate with a family-owned footwear factory in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico to ensure we offer only the best high-quality high heels that are made to last. The Ruiz family has been crafting shoes with love and passion for three generations.
When you shop Lidia Talavera’s custom-made high heels, you can put your best foot forward, no matter the size.
Lidia's Story
At the age of five, I fell in love for the very first time – with the most beautiful pair of shiny apple-red shoes. As a young girl, there was nothing in this world I wanted more. As we walked into the shoe boutique, my little heart was broken. The store had only one pair left, and they were one size too small. My mother saw my tears of disappointment and bought me those shoes even though she knew they would not fit. When we got home, I took the shoes out of the box and stared at them for hours until I fell asleep. Those shoes made me feel amazing; I was the happiest little girl in the world that day.
As I grew older, my love for shoes and the challenge of finding the correct size continued. At age 14, I wore my first pair of heels. I had spent many years dreaming and preparing for this day. They were a pair of red four-inch pumps that were one size too big. Nevertheless, I did not let that spoil the experience. I stuffed them with tissue paper so they would fit. Although I had to walk delicately, they made me feel as if I was the most beautiful girl in the world.
So, finding a beautiful pair of women’s size four shoes became my life-long challenge! I know many shoe lovers are facing similar challenges. Small and large shoe sizes are difficult to find, and the limited available options lack style and fashion. Therefore, I decided to create a customizable shoe company for all shoe lovers.
