Hey everyone, I hope I'm not the only one with huge feet and can't find the types of shoes I really want to wear? In guy sizes I wear Size 12 4E shoes. That equates to size 14 in women's which is very hard to find. I've been trying to find a nice pair of heels to go with a new outfit but haven't found anything that fits locally. Funny how I can find almost everything else in a size that fits except shoes.

Sigh, I hope my feet shrink on HRT. This is frustrating.

Well I'm not saying that your feet will shrink during HRT but mine did shrink a size I went from a size 11 women down to a size 10 women's but yes it was even tough to find women shoes size 11 but I have a feeling that now that the transgender population is coming out or that more shoemakers will come out with larger sizes to accommodate our needs at least I would hope so also if it makes you feel any better I have a friend who wears a higher size shoe than me I think she wears a 13 so she has the same problem that you're having she usually shops online for her shoes I do hope that helps you in any way I know it's a really tough thing and we really want pretty heels or pretty boots for us but it's always tough to find the right size I do hope you find some

I found size 12 shoes at Walmart, Payless and JC Penny.  Depending on the manufacturer and the style of the shoe, I can either wear a size 11 or size 12!

It would be a dream come true if my feet would shrink a size because there are way more shoes available in size 10.  If I would fit into size 10, I would own 20 or so pairs of shoes already.
Currently I just can look at them and drool over them like a little kid in the candy store!

As a former pretend "woman" with larger feet, I used to shop at Payless and Walmart.  Also, try TUK shoes' online store, they sell all kinds of shoes in larger sizes.

I seem to come across sizes up to size 10 locally. I wish more places would accommodate transgender women and stock larger sizes. We can't change a lot of aspects of our bodies but manufacturers could change their product to accommodate our needs.

I know all about the situation for small feet.  Men's 5.5 is about the smallest you can find.  Which equates to size 7.5 on the women's side.  Since Men's 5 is my true size, I just hunt for Women's size 7 in the style I want.

I wish my size would be women's 10 or less.  Almost all the shoes I could fall in love with are 10 or less, and I need 1 or 12 depending on the width of the shoe.
I hope really bad that my feet will shrink a little with the estrogen influence!

I think the sizing that they do is kind of weird like for men's I wore a 10 and a half for women's I used to wear an 11 of course the estrogen did make my feet shrink a size so that's a good thing but still the sizing is still weird they really need to just make men and women sizes the same save some confusion LOL

I also wore a men's 12-4E. I'm not sure if it was due to HRT or losing about 25 pounds, but my feet are now standard width. Unfortunately they are a women's 13. Nordstrom Rack usually carries that size. If you want a wider selection try Long Tall Sally online, they carry up to size 15.
