XL Shoes: The Story Behind the Brand

You love the shoes, but do you know the story behind the brand?

Xiomara Arroyo was born in Miami, Florida -- the melting pot for Latin Culture. As a young teenager, she developed a passion for shoes, which was inspired by the strong and colorful women in her life. Xiomara's family and Hispanic culture helped shape her love for fashion!

She attended Florida International University and studied Business and Hospitality Management with the goal to start her own business. After college, Xiomara moved to some amazing cities: TORONTO, VITORIA (SPAIN), DENVER, SALT LAKE CITY, DETROIT, ORLANDO AND TEL-AVIV (ISRAEL), which have all played a part in her style and taste in fashion. New York, Philadelphia, San Antonio and Los Angeles also come into play when she reminisces about the different stages and cultures that blend, mesh and co-exist to create a special vibe and harmony.

Xiomara has taken all of those experiences and applied them to her vision for the brand and the upcoming collections, which is “CHIC SHOES FOR THE GLAMOROUS SIDE OF EVERY WOMAN.”

Be sure check out all the latest styles and collections at www.xiomaralisette.com!
