About us

Who are we?

We’re Bigfoot Athletic, creating athletic shoes for kids with wide feet. We’re not talking about taking a standard shoe and widening it. Bigfoot shoes are purposely built around the parts of kids feet that normally get squished into regular shoes. And even better, they come in bright colors that let kids show off their unique style.

Why did we start Bigfoot?

From our son’s first set of cleats, it was clear that finding athletic shoes to fit his wide foot was going to be a struggle. Wide cleats are nearly impossible to find, and the ones that exist are bland and boring. Season after season, he’d try on multiple cleats, hoping to find ones that felt good. And season after season we’d eventually settle on a pair that he could barely squeeze his foot into and that felt fine.

But here’s the thing: fine shouldn’t be the norm. So, in the summer of 2026, we set out to change this. After a pre-season filled with ordering, trying on, and returning soccer cleats, we found ourselves cleat-less the day before the first tournament. During a frantic, desperate trip to the sporting goods store, we continued to strike out. Our son grew frustrated and heartbroken. We couldn’t even find fine shoes, and he was facing the reality of either cramming his foot into cleats that gave him blisters, or not playing.

That’s when we decided to do something about it, and Bigfoot was born. Because kids with wide feet shouldn’t have to size up just to get the extra room they need. They shouldn’t have to miss out on expressing themselves because only standard cleats come in bold colors. And they certainly shouldn’t have to jam their feet into a shoe not made for them just to play the game they love. Yeah, they have big feet. But they have a big heart to match. 

At Bigfoot, we’re changing the game so everyone can play.
