I am size 41 European, which is basically still ok, most stores have 60-80% of their models in that size still, size 42 would be a bit problematic as they usually only have 30-50% of the styles in that size - 43 or more means buying at special stores... Sadly though I seem to have wide feet, which makes it ok to buy sports shoes, sneakers, boots and sandals, but fancy shoes like flats, high heels etc are not good - They are the right length but not wide enough. Plus my right foot is 1/2 size bigger than my left, making it even harder.
I have the same issues as you, most fancy shoes are the right length but not wide enough, and I too have one foot a half-size bigger than the other.
I can only talk in UK shoe sizes, but I used to wear men's size 7 to 8.
Once I had been on hrt for a while, and had been post-op for a few years, to my surprise I found that my feet had got smaller.
So I often can wear a women's size 6 or 7. But this is very style-dependant.
My main problem is that I have very wide feet indeed. EEEE width

So I usually end up buying shoes for older ladies, with comfy wide fitting shoe styles and types. Evans do a good range in wider shoes, and the Footglove range in Marks and Spencer's usually work well for me. I usually go shoe shopping with my Mom, as we have similar shoe style tastes

But those cool trendy young fashionable shoe shops and styles? Nope! Forget it, they fit length-wise, but never width wise. My wardrobe is full of shoes I've bought out of sheer bloody-mindedness of wanting them, only to suffer one agonising evening in them before putting them at the back of the closet

I could be a total shoe-aholic, if only I had nice narrow feminine feet!
