Due to my size I stand out enough, but one of my biggest problems everyday (since I have already started going out daily) is that I have to trod around in my sneakers. in mens I am a 13 wide, but I cant for the life of me find anywhere that carries a womens shoe beyond the size of 11. I have found a few sites online but the cheapest started at $105! Im a student and currently unemployed so my wallet is incredibly limited. But even if i found something (boots preferably) for $50 I might be able to swing it. I was hoping that some of you lovely ladies might be able to give me a few hints about where you get your shoes. Thank you so much in advance!

I've had really good luck on eBay. Sometimes I'm a 13 sometimes a 13W. It takes a bit of patience but there are great and cute and cheap high quality shoes on there. My strategy is to have a saved search set up for 13 with a low to flat heel under 30 dollars. I regularly check for newly listed shoes.
Good luck, and hopefully were not bidding on the same pair ever! :)

Might also try shoes.com, shoebuy.com, shoemall.com  :)  This handy dandy size conversion chart can be a big help as well

Brick and mortar -
Payless has up to size 13 woman, call the store before going as some only carry to size 12.
Nordstrom Rack same situation.

Internet -
Barefoottess.com has large selection of styles up to size 15 woman.
