A spokesman for the company said demand for size 12 shoes has also increased and is now larger than the demand for size 7, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.

Our largest shoe currently available is a size 12. In the past, these shoe sizes would have been available only on special order," the spokesman told The Daily Telegraph. "We think it is because people are growing taller. The trends tell us that clothing sizes are also getting bigger. Interestingly, women's shoes are getting broader as well as longer, which would suggest that women are getting bigger in general."
