Georgie Falloon: Big Shoes to Fill
25 years ago, Wairarapa farming woman Georgie Falloon founded a business that became the first ever online shoe retailer in NZ.
Georgie thought shoes were supposed to be painful. She grew up with large feet (size 11 age 12), shopping for school shoes in the men's department. As a young woman, she usually wore sports shoes.
When she couldn't find a pair of pretty shoes to wear to her wedding, she founded Willow Shoes for Long Feet.
