She’s a fan! Clearly sold on Laura’s designs, she swiftly asked ‘what else have you got in the car?’ before praising her for her fledgling business and giving her a hug

Caitlyn – once Olympic champion Bruce – is 6ft 2in tall, without heels. But she insists she has actually shrunk in recent months.
She told MailOnline in an exclusive interview in December: ‘I had a physical the other day and I’m now 6ft 1. I’m going in the right direction. I figure that by the time I’m 90, I’ll be the perfect model-size 5ft 10.’
Speaking to MailOnline after the encounter with the American icon, Laura said of Otto + Ivy: ‘I’ve actually been reduced to tears on shoe-shopping trips before; I don’t think there are many size 9+ girls who haven’t’

She went on: ‘I’d always fantasised about having beautiful clothes that fit, but here’s my dilemma in that department. I feel like, on the one hand, I’ve got to dress age-appropriately because I’m 70 years old, you know? On the other hand, little Caitlyn’s only five years old and a girl’s gotta have a bit of fun. And so, I go back and forth on that. I want to be a cool chick.’
Laura, 34, who hails from Surrey, 34, is 6’1 and a UK size 9.5.
Speaking to MailOnline after the encounter with the American icon, she said of Otto + Ivy: ‘I’ve actually been reduced to tears on shoe-shopping trips before; I don’t think there are many size 9+ girls who haven’t.
‘While the clothing side of things is definitely getting easier for tall people, the footwear offering for women with larger feet has remained woefully inadequate for years.

‘They say that “with the right pair of shoes, a woman can conquer the world”, which might sound a bit trivial. But if you have to attend a job interview, go on a fancy date or attend a smart event, and all you can fit into are dowdy pumps or men’s trainers… you’re not going to feel or perform at your best.’
Laura – who is a presenter on shopping channel TJC – ran a blog about her ‘tall experience’ for a number of years, and conducted a survey to see how many women shared in her shoe woes.
When a thousand ladies replied within a week, she knew there was a need for exquisitely made, stylish and trend-led shoes in larger sizes.
Nineteen months later she launched Otto + Ivy – Otto being Italian for eight, and Ivy a reference to the climbing plant that ‘rises, disrupts, and refuses to be tamed’.
The shoes are all available in a UK size 8 and above, have been exclusively designed in Britain by Laura in collaboration with a number of experienced and highly regarded footwear designers, and are handmade from 100 percent leather in Italy or China.

Caitlyn was also spotted at a service station between Wales and Brighton, where she was snapped picking up a KFC between gigs.
Capital DJ Roman, 26, took to Instagram to gush about his jungle pal, posting a selfie of them both.
He wrote next to the image: ‘Had such a great time hosting around the country for this incredible woman yesterday, she really is THE most inspirational person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.
