I wear size 11 women's, though I can't usually wear the ones on the more narrow side. It's one of the reasons I love Nordstroms, because they carry 11s and can help me find the styles that come in my size for me to try on.

If you're concerned about your shoe size, darker colors look smaller, and if they cover your toes but leave your ankle and the top of your foot somewhat exposed, it creates a foreshortening effect like wearing 3/4 sleeves or V necks for people with longer arms or wider shoulders respectively. Capris pants do the same thing for your legs as well.

I'm a UK 8, which is great as that's the largest standard size women's shoes go up to in the UK generally, but there aren't as many options as for other sizes :/

I'm 45 or UK 11 (US women's 13, I think) and 188 cm / 6'2", which means that my feet don't really look all that big relatively. The shoe size doesn't really bother me all that much, as I'm lucky enough to have a store that specialises in unusual sizes, two blocks from my office. Although even they haven't got as many options for me than there would be for just one size smaller, there's still enough.

Earlier this summer I got to chatting with another customer (in her mid-60's) and the store owner about how things have changed – these days, the women's selection in regular stores goes up to 42 or sometimes even 43, while back when I was in my teens I even had some difficulties finding men's sizes that fit – and how nice it is to be able to have other options than sneakers or combat boots. Ended up buying nice slightly punk-esque pumps with 3" heels; back when I found the store, the owner pointed out that at my height, people will see me as very tall regardless of the heels so I might as well choose shoes that look and feel nice. She was right, too.

I wear US 9.5 women's. Sometimes 9s. As a boy I wore 7.5-8. I'm okay with it. I don't have trouble finding shoes.

I have wide feet. Men's 9.5EE if I can find them, or 10D. So I need Woman's 11 or 12s. I have better luck with sandals or flats, terrible luck with even moderate heels. What burns me is that most of the cute shoes stop at 10. I know some beautiful genetic women that need 12s and often wear Men's shoes except for fancy dress.

The same goes for dresses, as I have aged my shape has changed to where I am at that size 16/18 break between cute and frumpy.

I am 5"9 and a half and wear size 11 women shoes and hate it although on the plus side they are just long, not wide and quite narrow.

6' tall with size 9.5 or 10 shoes
My feet are not really out of proportion for my height which is okay.  I need to drop some weight though to make heels a bit more comfortable

I am a men's size 12.  Which is no surprise because all the women in my family have big wide feet.  It's just very fortunate that my preferred style is rock/goth/weird stuff.  So I'll just keep wearing my big heavy boots.  If I'm ever in a situation to wear heels and a gown; then we've got a problem.

I am a 6.5 comfortably 5.5 sore feet after a day. I was last i checked 166cm so 5'6''mm i think not used to America's systems. My feet are uber wide though.

Not sure what country size that 6.5 is but I believe I am a chinese 24.5 if that helps.
Awww no my little kitten gif site is gone :( sad.

I'm 5'9" (well, i used to be. At 64, i'm now 5'8"). Men's size 9.5. I find Women's size 10 works for sandals and flats, but upgrade to size 11 for walking and tennis shoes. Funny because my walking shoes are size 11 and feel perfect, but my court (tennis) shoes have a little wiggle room. Strange that there doesn't seem to be half sizes between 10 and 11.

I still wear mostly doc martens and pretty neutral sneakers when Im not wearing work boots. I havent yet encountered this. One of these days I needa drag my butt out get my feet properly sized and just empty my bank account for the funsies..

(My feet were never exceptionally large especially given my height.)

What I have noticed however is I rarely find shoes that MAKE larger than women's 10. My guesstimate is that Im somewhere around a 12?

I'm a 12-13 US Women's depending on the brand.  11 is usually the cutoff at most stores and with many brands, and that is the worst part of having big feet by far.  I don't think they look weird on me, I'm 5'11" after all.

Doesn't really bother me.  Granted I'm a US size 9-10 in women's and size 9 in men's.  I just bought a cheap pair of boots at Wal-Mart today size ten.  They fit very nice and I can't wait to wear them to a concert in two weeks.

I am 5'10 and women's 10.5-11, Mens 9.5-10. My feet have shrunk 1-1.5 sizes over the last year due to significant weight loss. I had no idea that was possible.

Finding shoes is a little tough because the standard width does not always fit but being an 11 or under is way easier than over 11 at most stores.

I'm size 11, my feet are massive width and length :'(. I haven't looked into women's shoe sizes, but I'm assuming I'm gonna be screwed (when it comes to buying shoes) when I transition

You'll be a 12 or 13 US most likely.  There's is plenty out there, just not necessarily at every department store.

5'11"... and HRT shrunk me feet a bit. I'm a size 9-10 women's now. But pretty much all the women on my dad's side are tall with big feet, including my younger sisters, so I don't feel like I stick out.

My feet confuse me. I historically wore a 10 and a 1/2 men's because I like toe room, but my feet are probably closer to a 9 and 1/2 mens in reality. My only pair of women's shoes are heels that are size 11 womens and way, way, way too lose. Like I could have dropped to a size 10 on them easy, maybe less. I've been paying attention to my sister's shoe sizes, and I can fit a 9 she has but it isn't comfortable. My feet are a little wide, but not dramatically so apparently, but I feel like they look wise. In other words, I have no freakin' clue what size I am.
