Meet Amyeric ‘Amy’ Gooden of Suitable Soles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amyeric ‘Amy’ Gooden.

Amyeric ‘Amy’, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My parents migrated from Jamaica to Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. Growing up, I was always active—I played basketball, baseball, and a few other sports along with being an honor student for most of my K-12 years which shaped my discipline and confidence early on. I went on to earn my Bachelor’s in Communication Studies with Honors from Florida Atlantic University. Being a tall girl, I naturally have bigger feet, and finding fashionable shoes in my size was never easy. That challenge stayed with me over the years. I’ve been a work-from-home mother for the past six years, and entrepreneurship wasn’t something I ever planned. However, during a season of furlough from my full-time, God revealed this idea to me through a dream. What started unexpectedly turned into a purposeful journey as I researched vendors, built a plan, and brought the vision to life and I’ve been growing from there ever since.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. I’m still navigating the balance of working full time while being a mother and running the business as a one-woman operation. Juggling all of those roles comes with challenges, but it’s also pushed me to grow, stay disciplined, and remain committed to the vision.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Suitable Soles?
My business is an online-based brand created specifically to serve women who wear sizes 11–15. We specialize in trendy, fashionable styles that are often overlooked in the marketplace. What sets us apart is our commitment to making women feel seen, confident, and stylish without having to compromise on design or quality. Brand-wise, I’m most proud of building a space where inclusivity and fashion truly meet. I want readers to know that this brand was created with intention, to fill a real gap, and to remind women that style has no size limit.
