Any of you wear shoes bigger than your feet?

[Michael Joseph]

size 10 in mens. im definately confident with that size and i think if i went up a size it would look funny.

[PandaValentine]

I'm a size 8 in mens shoes, so I  never try and up my size, plus they wouldn't really look right on me, since I'm short, but size 8 seems to not look too big. I used to do it as a kid though, I always liked the thought of having big feet and although I'm a good size in men's shoes, my feet don't really look it barefoot.

[nogoodnik]

Yes and no.

I fit Men's UK 7 1/2 wide or extra wide, but most of my shoes are 8 or 8 1/2 and regular width because I buy most of my shoes second hand and I never seem to find any in my actual size.

Since my feet are wide, they fit okay, they're just long in the toe box. My feet don't slide forward because they're too wide at the toes to fit into the pointier bit of the toe box, and overall they're not that much too big. I have to say, I do like that they make my feet seem "bigger" and therefore more male...

I also do have some size 9s that are legitimately too big and which I'm stubbornly holding onto. I wear them with insoles to help them fit but since they're monkstraps it still doesn't work that well. If they were oxfords or something they'd be tighter around the ankle when laced up instead of more open. As it is, my heel slides out — and heel grips don't help, either, they just rip up my socks. It's a shame, they're lovely shoes, but I have to accept they don't fit.

I have to wear shoes bigger than my feet. Even buying womens shoes I had a hard time finding them small enough. I have absurdly small feet. I love SHOEBUY website because they are the only place I can find mens size 4-5. Putting insoles in helps a lot. I am jealous of you guys with normal size feet that can buy normal shoes. I would have many more pairs if I could only find them. I bought boys sneakers last summer but they make boys shoes like crap and they died in like a month and a half.

For the record, I would KILL to find proper handsome mens dress shoes that would fit my stupidly small feet!! I can find sneakers, but no dress shoes.

What's a guy to do?

[insanitylives]

Oh, Yknow. I missed the question entierely.

Yeah, i wear a 10 in chucks, and i'm 5'8-5'9.
No bother wearing clown shoes, they fit fine and look reasonable.

[Medusa]

I used to wear bigger shoes as a boy, I don't know why, I think it was expected to have big feet
I'm 6'2-3 tall and have 41eur (us 10W)

[jrocket]

I wear a UK4 which is a US5 mens and I'm 5' tall. I never wear anything bigger or else it just looks weird on me lol it does suck that some of the shoes that I want don't come in my size but I still find some awesome ones but they always have to be boys or unisex -_- lol

[LordKAT]

I once got a pair of women's shoes, size13, special order to get them too. What a waste of cash. I wear about a 9.5or 10 in men's.  I think the discrepancy is that my feet are very wide.

[AbraCadabra]

It's so funny how all this is a reversed world with us FtMs / MtFs.

Zoey will just now ask next: "Any one that is wearing shoes smaller than your feet?" in the MtF section of course.

And guess what? I'd have to say YES, as some other girls would I'm quite sure, if being quite honest.

[kesenaie]

As if anyone looks at your shoes :x
If you're short and wear giant shoes, it just look ridiculous, like a clown :|

[AbraCadabra]

Nezhi,
I agree, so we go with the pain, silly as it may be.

I almost lost the nail on one of my big toes. It takes AGES to grow out. Another lesson, like bunions and all the rest of it, ouch.
Beauty suffers, eh.

How can you wear shoes the same size as or smaller than your feet? I mean, your feet are supposed to go INSIDE shoes, right?!

Anyways...in general I have kinda large feet. My width is too wide for most women's sizes and is just barely the right width for men's shoes. My feet measure as a men's 7 but for some reason when I try that on my toes rub against the front of the shoe and is uncomfortable for me. I think I'm probably just used to buying shoes larger and growing into them ('cept my feet are no longer growing) because of how I was raised. Growing up with not so much money we would get decently made shoes a size or two too big. If your foot was slipping you would wear thicker socks and wear those shoes until they were way too tight or were breaking down.

For my height my feet are overall big and I don't look like a clown. I wear around a men's 9 and I'm 5 foot 2. I think when I tried on women's shoes I was around an 11 or 12 which is huge and I'm...well...kinda tiny.

Guys usually have long feet for their size and no one calls them clowns for it  and girls usually have feet to small for their size but no one insults them about it  people dont seem to think much about it

I don't know what size shoe I am.  Small.  I've got shoes from UK 4 1/2 to boots at 7 which all fit me.  I think apart from 3 pairs they're all male shoes, and the last I brought were a 6.  I'll probably end up just buying the smallest size that the shoes I want come in, it's almost never smaller than my feet unless they're boys shoes. I remember when I had to wear blue sparkly "pump" type shoes to my cousins wedding, my feet ended up bleeding, the same as when I was forced to wear a pair to school.  Half way through the day I ended up back in my old battered boys shoes 

[Noah G.]

I'm about 5'6" and have been pretty consistently at a size 8½ (US). I do have a pair of Adidas, however, that I have adored from the start because I had to go up an entire size just for them to be comfortable.

Yea, I can be vain, I'll admit it.

My brother-in-law is about the same height as I am (roughly) and we wear the same size shoe at best, so whenever I'd feel as though I had small feet or whatever I'd remind myself of that fact.

[Silas]

I wear a 9 in men's. My stepdad always joked I was super-part of his family because they all have giant feet.
Sometimes I wear a 9 1/2 if it's comfier, but for the most part I wear my size.

However, I do wear shoes that give me a teeny-little height boost. My new converse look bulky and give me about a half inch. :3

[bojangles]

I love SHOEBUY website because they are the only place I can find mens size 4-5.

Another source if you're in the US is 6pm.com.
There are some small guy size Converse in their clearance right now.


Envying you guys with dude feet. Not seeing much growth there except in thickness.  I go up 1/2 size to accomodate a wide forefoot, but shoes that are too long feel weird.

[JPurcell]

I wear a mens 9 but I could prolly wear a 10 or so, never thought about it actually but I love loose shoes. I have always worn shirts that were at least one size too big. Ill end this post with a question, do any of you guys wear lifts? I've considered getting some since I'm only 5'7".
