Do I have to have a bunion to wear Julie Lopez heels? No! In the process of creating a heel that looks and feels great on the feet of women with bunions, we inadvertently got a bit more than we bargained for- a comfortable, fashionable heel for all women!
Why Italy? When we started drawing up the requirements we knew this shoe needed- expert craftsmanship, high quality materials, a pinpoint attention to details- all signs seemed to point to the Italians. They have been world renowned shoe cobblers for hundreds of years, and we felt they were the best choice to help realize our vision.
I have a bunion and usually order a half size up to accommodate it. What size should I order in your shoes? We recommend ordering true to size, no need to size up or down. Our patent-pending comfort technology was created specifically to allow the shoe to give and move with each woman’s unique feet.
Why did you start with pumps? My mom’s initial inspiration was to create the shoe that most women with bunions have the hardest time finding- the classic pump- the heel that works this year, next year, and every year after that. She designed the first collection around this principle of beautiful classics that will be your go-to heels time and time again.
Erin, you’re so pale- are you sure you’re a Lopez? Yes 100% positive. Sadly, we can’t all have the Sofia Vergara gene, but I’m learning to cope with that fact.

Any chance of a lower heel?
Hi- Thank you so much for your comment!
To answer your question, yes, we do have plans for additional styles and heel heights that will be available starting next Spring. Our goal has always been to create a full range shoe line, however we decided to start with a higher heel as that was one of the more difficult styles to find for women with bunions.
Also, just as a personal side note, I (Erin) can tell you that even though I'm biased
, this 4″ heel is unlike any other 4″, or 3″ for that matter, heel I own. Every time I watch someone put on one of our shoes for the first time their eyes get big and they look at me like “you've got to be kidding, this can't be a 4″ heel.” So with our free shipping and simple return policy, we definitely encourage women to get a pair home, try them out on a carpeted surface, and see for themselves what this shoe is all about.
Hope this answer helps, and please feel free to ask any more questions that might come up!
What if you only have one bunion (on my right foot)? Will the other shoe fit well?
Hi Anne,
Our comfort technology and the slits in the shoes are designed to only give you extra room where you need it. Just as an example, I do not have bunions on either of my feet and I simply love wearing these heels because they are so comfortable. I hope this answers your question, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any additional questions.
Happy Holidays,
Erin
