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.

The funny thing about shoes (and most clothing) is that there really is no standardized "size." A 9 for one brand may be too small, but a 9 for another may be too large. I believe this is due to not all shoes being made to accommodate all shapes of feet. Two people may have the same size foot, but because of the shape, they may fit the same shoe differently.

Historically I have just taken a ballpark average of every size shoe I have ever worn. Sounds to me that you are a ballpark 10-10 1/2... but again, depending on the shoe, that could change.

I'm about 5'11(I think closer to 5'10 honestly), and my male shoe size is US 10-10.5. I honestly am not too sure about the shoe thing, my plan was kind of just to wear whatever Birkenstocks fit me while in the kitchen(I have heard the Tokyo Grips are great for people who need to stand a lot), and then male Converse for general wear, just because I know they are somewhat cheap, and very comfortable.

I guess I am just very simple on the shoe thing, as long as they are comfortable, look okay, and are cheap, I am fine.

Luckily enough I mostly wear training shoes and nowadays there are some very colorful (girly if you like) mens styles, and so mens sizes. They wouldn't look out of place on a M or F and are of course very comfortable.

I was a 9.5-10 in men's shoes.  Now I take mostly a 10.5-11 in women's shoes.  Sometimes I can fit a 10.  It doesn't bother me much.  Though most stores stop at size 10, some (Payless, for example) carry sizes up to women's 13.  So I can often buy off the shelf, and there's always online shopping.

(Online shopping rant: I ordered a pair of boots more than a week ago.  They originated in New York.  So far, according to the parcel tracking, they have been to West Palm Beach, Miami and Louisville.  They haven't even reached the border yet.  If they'd just put them in a brown van and started driving north, they'd have been here by now!)

The problem with shoes is that they all seem to be designed around about US size 6. I'll see something cute and the store will always have them (I'm only a 10). But they look like crap because the shoemakers don't scale them up proportionality for the larger size!!!

I'm about 5-11 and I take a 11-1/2 or 12 women's shoe size. Really depends on the brand.
The only thing that bothers me is getting shoes in my sizes. Running shoes like Nike are usually easy but the nicer stores like Dillard's don't carry any over 11.

I recently went to a local Dillard's with my mother-in-law to get some clothes for my older brothers weeding. I got a pair of slacks and a suit jacket. Yes women's style. It was very comfortable. When it came to shoes I really wanted a plain pair of loafers. Just something to go with my black suit. The lady searched but found no larger shoes in stock. I ended up with a pair of men's 11 plain loafers. Not a bad thing. They really have little difference. On the plus side I found these new shoes go great with a pair of jeans!

Do be careful not to wear shoes that are too small. You can damage your feet & especially your toenails. I wore some size 10 flats for most of a day once, and ended up with bleeding sores on the back of my ankles & the tops of my toes (I've got funky monkey toes, though).

I'm 6' 1", and my shoe sizes are a bit wonky. In a slip-on, I can't do more than a 10-1/2 or they just fall off. I can wear a 10-wide sometimes, depending on brand. If it's got laces or a buckle that actually tightens, I go with 11s. I can find 10-wide in some stores, and 11's in many, but I've never found 10-1/2 in any physical store. I can only find them online, and the selection is fairly limited.
My men's sizes were generally 11's, but I always intentionally got a larger size since they were more comfortable, and just made up the difference by tightening the laces more.

I'm 13.5-14 men's and I have 15 women's and it's a little loose. 14 would probably be ok, but it might be who makes the shoes. I've only had this one pair and I don't know of anyplace that has shoes in my size that I can try on. It's all mail order.

Shoes of Prey custom makes shoes to size 15. I bought a pair of 14's and they are very nice. They are a vendor for Nordstrom so that speaks of the quality. Which also means you have 365 days or more to send them back for a replacement. I've bought shoes at Payless but in comparison they are crap. They are pricy but not the Pleaser brand which you can get at Long Tall Sally  They have a multitude of custom styles that allow you to choose platform from sandals to stilettos with a multitude of heel sizes. You can pick and choose colors in any combination. Here is an example. 

12WW ... A 12 regular would be a slight pain, but 12 double wide is a REAL pain.

13 in W, yes it bothers me.  A little less so now that i've found Nordstrom and Nordstrom
Rack carry a decent selection of 13's:

I am 5ft 11in and wear a size 12 women's. It is tuff to find cute shoes in my size locally

For what it's worth, Fiona looked quite a bit like Shrek after they got married, but I always thought she was still relatively cute

That's so true.

I wear anywhere from 9W to 11 depending on the brand and style. I'm 5'10"

Some 10 W fit me, but most of all 11 or 12 fit well.  I find a decent selection of nice shoes around here.

Some of my shoes

The red heels are size 11

The black ones from Victoria Secret are size 10.

The other black heel is also size 10.

The tennis shoe is size 10.5 because I needed the width and they didn't have a 10.

The flat is size 9.5.

Sadly I had to throw out some shoes that had worn out. I'll have to buy replacements.

I wear a womans 13 - 13-1/2 Extra wide. David Tate shoes, makes some of theirs in my size.

I'm 5' 11". I usually can get into an 11 or 12 depending on the brand. Shoes I've bought on AliExpress never fit though. So be careful. When I was on HRT for 2 years I recall fitting in a gf's 10.5 tennis shoes and could cram my foot in her heels.

I wear a size 14 shoe. From Torrid, however, it drops to size 13

I'm just a smidgin under 5' 7" tall and my (UK) shoe size is 8.5/9  I would have liked smaller feet but they are not huge so fine really.

What IS confusing is the charts that plot equivalences between male and female and between UK and US!  Some charts say UK is 1/2 size smaller and some say 2 sizes!

I have bought support running shoes (I have plantar fasciitis so I need support) and have been fine with 9 in mens and also fine with 8.5 in womens.  Having said that, I bought some rainbow open toed slingbacks in a 9 and they were like boats! The 7s fit me much better.  It's all terribly confusing!
