I'm us woman size 12 and only thing that bothers me is difficulty to buy any nice woman shoes in whis size in my country.
No one ever pay attention to my feets to be honest ;)

Are you on hormones yet? Because your feet WILL SHRINK. I was an US men's 9 (so ~11 women's) pre-HRT, now 2 months in I'm a women's 9 (~7.5-8 mens).

I'm 11 month on HRT and my feet do not shrink even 10 milimeters :)

Yep I would agree, US 10 are a blessing, anything larger and it gets harder. I'm lucky being a women's 9-10. I think when our feet are larger, whilst it's harder to find a shoe, we can also be wise about what we put on our feet. I mean just the same as if you had larger hands, you wouldn't want to attract attention by wearing really standout bling on your hands, I would look at shoes the same way. I wouldn't draw attention to my feet by wearing some crazing heels. Having a size 9-10 I can still find some quite nice shoes, albeit the range does start to taper off around there in most stores though.

I take a UK size 12/13 (US 13/14). Safe to say I am completely screwed! Thankfully my preferred style is more towards gothic/rocker so New Rocks and Converse are pretty gender ambiguous and go up to clown shoe size. Down side is I know I am never going to have pretty shoes  :'(

Proportions are relative to what you are wearing. As long as you don't go out of your way to draw attention to them I doubt anyone is going to notice, I know plenty of cis girls who are between 7-10 UK size and are totally comfortable with that.

Feet? I'm more worried about my hands.

It could be worse, you could take a half size in shoes, and end up being eternally condemned to shoes that are either too small or too big.

Regarding flaws and dysphoria, we are acutely aware of our flaws and therefore assume everyone else is. In fact the opposite is usually true. Your perception of your flaw is magnifying it in your mind, I had a similar thing with my shoulders when I started out, wearing them un covered made them feel huge, despite my hips and shoulders being in line with each other and I would be fine if the were covered.

Things you can do - rocking styles that don't draw your eye to your feet will help you deal, leggings and ballet pumps may be a cute look, but if it's making you hyper aware of your feet, try adding leg Warmers or wearing boot cut jeans. Being born cis doesn't mean you have a perfect body, stuff like foot and hand size is genetic rather than from the effect of hormones.

Lol Bellatrix, "clown shoe size", I love it  :D

So there you go girls, if you were worried about your shoe size, just think of the poor clowns out there

I have size 13/14 as well; my feet arrive in the room before I do.

: No more whining about any shoe size below size 10's, hahahaha.

well, although I wear a size 10 in US, I live in Brazil and they only sell up to a 9 in big stores here :( sucks finding the most amazing pair of heels just to tell yourself: oh well, no size 10 :icon_pissed:
shoe shopping is a battle, but thankfully I'm just 1 size above the normal range, so it's not impossible to find  ;D

A suggestion...don't forget EBay and Amazon.

I got an amazing pair of Aerosoles riding boots, size 11, for $70 shipped off EBay!

I'm a size 8 1/2 for women or a 9, it depends on the shoe... I wish they were smaller and more feminine. Hope HRT changes them a bit.
