Euro 43 and 1.81m. I have narrow feet so whilst I did wear boy's boots they were always too wide. And now girl's shoes are too short ! Shops do seem to shy away from sizes greater than 42 ?






Paula, X.

Look at long tall sally and nordstrom. They have sizes up to 15.

I am a US Women's 12WW...

The 12 would not be so bad but the double wide is...

BTW my spouse (gg) is also a size 12 BUT a 12 Slime, or narrow...

So while 12 are not THAT hard to find, the unusually width make it difficult for both of us to buy shoes (we would never buy without trying them on first)

It's an odd thing for me.  I take a US 12w in men's shoes so according to what I've commonly seen for conversion that should make me a 14 in women's.  Somehow when I start trying on different footwear some fits me in 12, 12w, 13, and 13w while 14 is just too big.  I suppose every shoe and maker is different but it means for a right fit I need to physically try them on preventing me from doing shopping online.

U.K. size 8. I'm fine with it, but if it reduces by one size it'd obviously be preferable. I can just about jam on a 7, but I like very thin high heeled and very pointed shoes - flat sole, none of that horses hoove platform stuff - so if it's not an 8 it's agony.

I'm 5'10, which to me is the best height to be, and I quite like sometimes being up towards 6'3.

Finding shoes that are fashionable is difficult for me. My foot is wide so it has been a struggle. I seem to find flats easily but heels are a different animal. I wish shoe companies and designers would realize the large market that is just waiting for them.

I don't think there is a particularly large market to be honest, and as a former fashion PR, designers do not want their designs on anything but the most elegant feet. You're not going to find many prestigious or just fashion orientated designers who design very wide fitting shoes for the same reason they don't design above certain dress sizes - that's not where they want their brand. Is it unfair? Actually it's not.

You can rail against it, but art is art, and in the case of shoes and clothing, the designer has a right to have a vision that excludes swathes of people (cis ones too). I don't know where the 'everyone is beautiful' stuff came from, where we now have to - for instance - pretend fat is fantastic. Objectively, it's just not true on an aesthetic level, however harsh that may be.

I have a friend who is a 12, and has all these problems. Long Tall Sally is a bit middle aged, and I wouldn't be a friend if I told her she could leave the house in some of the mid heeled cruise ships she's bought. There's a lot of good stuff on eBay and Amazon, and some Chinese companies that do very large sizes of genuinely fashionable attractive shoes.

If you're borderline between just a half or a size too big for most women's stores, buy suede rather than leather. The give is much more generous.

9 1/2 to 10... but I am 5'11... so meh... that's a good size.  My friend is 5'5 and she wears a 9. She even borrows some of my shoes.

I did go down a size after yrs on hormones, but still need an 11 or an 11 wide. What bothers me is that shoe stores will only carry 1 dam pair of 11's and every other big and tall bitch is out there gunning to get them too, so it's often a disappointing shoe shopping experience. I mean whats worse than finding the cutest shoes that are not in your size... that I don't like lol

I have found that if you frequent stores like Lany Bryant or other larger womens clothing stores that they often have wide shoe styles in larger sizes.  though not typically as attractive as I'd prefer.

can we add favorite shoe store to this thread? http://www.dsw.com/

16W men's........sigh.........

13.5-14W - Long Tall Sally is one of the only stores with size 14 shoes.  Any other stores?

I'm 6'2" tall with size 12 men's/13 women's, I often wish I were around 5'10" and had smaller feet but figure it is how it is and don't dwell on it too much

I've got a small collection of women's shoes and tend to like my sandals the most, my favorite sandals have a 1" platform with a 2" heel 

Hugs

I'm 5'7" and wear a size 10 shoe. I always buy size 11 flats and feel really uncomfortable in them. I'd wear men's converse when I'm just bumming around but it would be too obvious I have male feet if I wore them. It's very hard to find shoes!

Little hint, the only difference between men's & women's converse is the colors. Pick a bright, happy pattern and no one will doubt it.

I'm a 9.5, or a 9 wide. I was an 11 or 10.5 before HRT, so I'm not complaining.

I actually did recently buy men's plain white sneakers and then add hot pink laces. I needed serious ankle support, and there was basically one pair in the whole store that qualified... (Which means I can now confirm that my feet are smaller, as I also needed 1.5 sizes smaller in men's. I'm right on the line of too small for regular store sizes in that department, which was ironic in an annoying way.)

Size 12 or size 14 womens. Of course it bothers me.

I'm 5'11" and take a women's size 11. I find the choices of styles in this size to be limited in most of the shoe shops I frequent, and it's pretty rare for the larger department stores to carry this size in any style. Oh to have smaller feet!

Funny thing; before I began to transition I couldn't care less about shoes. NOW I know why they are so important.

I'm a women size 8. A smite bit broader, but can usually nab stuff off the shelf.
But my OH is an 8, so is my mom, my sister etc. No one bats an eyelid.
