I wear 11 wide, but they're a bit tight. I wasn't able to find 11.5, and the 12's were too big. In men's shoes, I'm anywhere from 10 to 11, depending on the brand.

I wear and 11, also.  Depending on the cut, they can be a little tight.

I usually wear a women's size 10.  Sometimes I will fit into a size 9 1/2 but usually it is a 10.
Title: Re: Please post your Female Shoe size
Post by: MarySue on March 24, 2009, 07:35:54 PM
I wear a woman's size 9. Sometimes "wide" shoes are more comfortable, but sometimes they're too wide. I've tried 9.5, and they're too long; my foot slides back and forth.

In men's, I take a size 8. However, in guy-mode I wear white athletic socks -- once a nerd, always a nerd. :) In gal-mode, I wear stockings or knee-highs (duh!). That probably accounts for a 1/2 size difference.

Post by: lizbeth on March 24, 2009, 09:17:03 PM
I'm between a 9 and 10. sometimes a 10 is too small, and a 10w would be better, but that is only with designer shoes typically.

11W works depending on the style but 12 is more comfortable. I love heels but they make me about 6ft 4inches tall.

I wear a womens 9 or 10, depending on the style. The only pair of shoes I have now, (after major purge Aug. 2007 wah!) are calf-high boots, (couldn't/wouldn't toss them), I think they're 9.5 USA.

I voted 10.

Styles vary, but most of my women's shoes are size 11.  Some are size 10 but they tend to be tight unless they are sandals.  As some others have noted it can make a difference whether the shoe is open toe or not.  In men's shoes I wear either a 9 or 9 1/2--depending on style.  Generally in women's sizes it is difficult to find half sizes in the larger sizes (over size 10).
Title: Re: Please post your Female Shoe size
Post by: heatherrose on March 27, 2009, 05:30:20 PM


It depends on the manufacturer.
I have fit into a 9.5 (us) but most
of the time it's a 10w. If I just
"gotta" have 'em, an 11 will work.

Title: Re: Please post your Female Shoe size
Post by: Michelle. on March 28, 2009, 02:03:11 AM
Size 9.5W.

I can manage a 9.5 though.

Okay so this is something I've been perplexed about the past few days, ordering tons of different shoes (right now I have 6 pairs of women shoes, but 4 of those are getting returned).  Okay so here's the bizarre part:

In men's shoes I wear 10.5.  In women's shoes I wear 10 wide.  ???

I was wearing men's 11's but I'd been wearing 11's for years without actually measuring my foot and when I did that (to figure out girl size) I realized I should probably be size 10/10.5 men's after all, and I went with 10.5 for my new sneakers and I imagine a size 10 would be too small after all.  I got size 11 womens but they ended up too big (could fit my finger between my heel and the heel of the shoe).

Anyway, I'm now obsessed with shoes.  I have like 18 pairs of shoes "saved for later" on endless.com ('free' overnight shipping is great) and I really really want ALL of them.  And most of them cost 60-70+.  It's terrible.  I'm going to try to see if I can fit into 10M without too much discomfort because it would be much more convenient than always trying to find wide width shoes.

US women 10 = 165 cm.

Unfortunately, in my country (S. Korea), the largest women's size is 155 cm in most brands, and I should order shoes from speical stores. Fortunately, I sometimes travel to Europe or U.S., purchasing shoes I will use for the next 2-3 years. US women 10W is perfect for me, but for 5-inch high heels, even size 12 was small for me. And, I like the styles in the U.S (not so much decorations in the shoes).

And, I purchased the 2.5 inch black sandals in the left photo at Payless shoes in Seattle last summer. It was about $20, and 10W size. It is very comfortable to wear, and I even can run with it.

In women's shoes I wear mostly 11 US sizes but I do have 11W, 10W, and 12. It seems to me that certain brands are way narrower than other. In guys shoes wear 8 to 10.5 mostly 9.5 now a days.

Woops. It's 165 mm, as you konw Cindy.

It is always confusing to convert metric to American units, and vice versa. In my country, all units are now metric, but both inch and cm were once used together. Government forced every companies to use just metric unit in clothes or shoes. But still some companies use cloth sizes such as 55, 66, 77, and 88 in advertisement, but in the size label, all are just cm.

I am not exactly sure. In men's I wear a 11.5 or a 12 so probably a 13 or 14 depending on brand and style. Just another thing that I am at a disadvantage at. All of you gals seem so small and I am so jealous.

Don't be too disheartened -- I wear a mens 10.5/11, but in womens shoes I wear 10/10.5/11 (depending on brand).  I don't know why it works like that -- maybe the +2 size difference is for the smaller end of women's shoes?  So definitely try some on and see for yourself.  If you don't want to go to a store, just order something cheap from Endless.com -- they have free 365 day returns, free shipping, and free return shipping.  Took me 3-4 tries before I figured out my size.

Neat topic. I usually wear a size 12 but often the ones labelled medium are to wide for me. I haven't found a pair of men's tennis shoes to fit me in about 5 years and most women's are much to large as well. Used to buy them all the time. Go figure. I guess it is because I live in Texas and everybody is obese now. In open toed shoes a 11.5 to 12 usually works well.

I wear 9.5 US men's. The first heels I ever bought I ordered by mail. They were size 11 boots. They were OK, but a bit loose, so I wear thick shorty socks in them. 10.5 is good if I can find it. I've done OK with 10 in some styles. I've always had to try on shoes to get a decent fit, though, men's or women's.

My genes equipped me with canal barges for feet.   But for my 85 kilos I'd be able to walk on water !   Male size 11 for me dictates that I must buy femme shoes on the internet.   I was advised to buy size 13 pumps, boots &c., which was perfect for the boots, but pumps tend to be a bit loose, hence the next pair will have ankle straps.  I could try a size 12, but they might be too tight and a waste of money.

8.5 to 9 US, depending on shoe manufacturer.  There's a lot of difference in sizing both in length and width.  I've tried on 8.5W that I swim in and 9.5 M that are too short and too tight.  They should use measurements because no one seems to agree on what size is the standard.

Yep, have to agree about loosing weight, you can shrink your feet that way. Only thing you can't shrink are the bones (bummer). My feet have gotten smaller since getting more serious about becoming more female. I have read somewhere that you can loose up to two full shoe sizes when using hormone therapy during transition.

UK shoe sizes do not differ between male and female, a size 8 is a size 8.   However, I have noticed that several retailers import european size 41 and refer to them as size 8.   This is in fact a size 7.5.

Luckily my feet have shrunk a bit so a 7.5 fits

I'm currently in a US womans' 10.5, which I believe correspond to a US mans' 9. My usual male size is roughly US 9.5 but of course can vary depending on what footwear I'm wearing.

I wear between a 12 - 13 wide.  It really depends on the shoemaker and type of shoe.

10.5W or 11.  11 is *usually* a bit big in the length but the right width.  If open toe I can go down to a 9.5 or 10.  This is in US Womens sizing.

I usually wear 12s. If they are wide, I can squeeze into an 11, but I pay for it later.
