‘People assume if you’re tall that it means you’re confident’
Laura Schofield is 6 ft 1 and is a founder of a shoe brand for tall women with feet over size eight.
She has had many comments made towards her about being tall.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake, she said: “I could go from one end of the Oxford Street to the other and I would have probably had 10 comments about my height.
“I’m 38 now, but as a teenager it really used to get me down.â€
Laura felt that “society told her that she had to go after men that are taller than her which put 99% men out of the running.â€
