Press release

From women for women: fashionable shoes in large sizes

Kathi's Story

Fashion is more than just clothing; it is an expression of our personality and femininity. In a world where women are getting taller, the demand for fashionable shoes in larger sizes is also increasing. Women who are 1.81 m tall and wear shoe sizes 42 to 45 are no longer a rarity.

Over three million women in Germany alone have a shoe size of 42 or larger.
Kathis has made it its mission to meet this need.

Shoes for tall women – Kathi’s Mission

The founder, Katharina Rühl, is 1.81 m tall and wears shoe size 42/43, and is herself a plus-size woman. It was and is important to her to create beautiful opportunities for all women to express their femininity - and to do so with responsible handling of all suppliers and materials and with a high quality and durability standard.
The little black dress for the shoe cupboard that accompanies us throughout our lives.

This is exactly what makes Kathis much more than a shoe label.

More than just shoes: Kathi's philosophy

Kathis is the feminine way to express all our different facets.
Kathis means to be seen.
Kathis stands for responsible corporate management – ​​Slow Business.
A familiar, appreciative, mindful approach throughout the entire product life cycle.
Kathis means making the world a little more beautiful.

The path to founding – Kathi’s story

Kathi doesn't even come from the shoe industry. Over the course of 3.5 years, she taught herself step by step all the skills needed to build a collection and a shoe label through learning by doing.
Little by little, she got to know every step, every supplier, every material.
