Whether you are a luxe-loving fashion princess,a fan of hardworking well-priced basics, or like us, a little bit of both, there is a new brand for you toget excited about.

Here's our round up of the 5 best new shoe designers and brands for women with big feet:

Cutting-edge style

Burak Uyan

To size 11

Our top tip for the shoe designer to watch, Burak Uyan is currently relatively unknown outside offashions inner circle of design houses and celebrity stylists, but the frequency his designs haveappeared on A-listers on the red carpet this year suggests this is all about to change.

Formerly on the Givenchy design team, and most recently at Giambattista Vialli, where he wascredited with turning the footwear arm of the label around, Burak launched his own label in 2011.Now available on Net-a-Porter and with his own website launching soon, you are going to hear moreabout this designer.

Inspired by a love of architecture and modernist design, German-born Parisian Burak's footwearcombines twisted geometrical designs with a very French sensuality. The results are highly original,but wearable, design masterpieces. Can you tell we're fans?

Mid-range style steals

Aminah Abdul Jillil

Clearly quite a woman, Aminah Abdul Jillil was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and laterbecame a professional dancer for the likes of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Cirque de Soleil inLA. Her footwear label launched in 2012, and features sculptural designs with a feminine edge. Asworn by Rihanna in her Where have you been music video and a host of in-the-know fashionbloggers, her shoes are swoonworthy style at a not-cringeworthy price.

We particularly love the way her designs make the most of their materials, such as the curved suedestatement bows on her iconic pumps, and soft slouchy leather straps on her wrap sandals - currentlyavailable for pre-order.

Affordable luxury

With prices starting at under $100, we particularly love the attention to detail that has gone into thedesign and manufacturing process. The heel heights are designed to be proportional, at an anklesaving 3.75 inches, and steel reinforced for all-day comfort. With the online store only launched thisFebruary 2015, Sensational Soles are currently offering Isy B Shoes insiders a tempting 25% offtheir whole range. Just use the code ISYB at checkout.

New to us

Luis Onofre

Launched in 1999, but new to us, Lisbon-based Luis Onofre is a Portuguese designer beloved bystyle powerhouses Michelle Obama and Paris Hilton (who both have size 11 to 11.5 feet). His elegantdesigns combine a recognizably European sense of understated chic with eye-catching detailing,such as colored linings peeking out of sandals, or luxe touches of metallic.

Available only from Onofre's Lisbon store or online, his designs are shoes worthy of tracking down.
