Hey Girls,

I have pretty large feet for my height, and I was wondering what types of things y'all do you help draw attention away from yours.

I'm about 5'11" and wear a Men's size 13. I feel like sasquatch!

I would think it would be as simple as not wearing shoes that attract attention to your feet.  To some extent, it is simple physics, dainty feet on someone your height would probably have them falling down all the time.

Truthfully, your feet sound fairly proportional to your height as it is.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You can't "fix" bone.  Your shoe size might change if you lose a substantial amount of weight, but that's about it.

Somebody post more! Haha. im interested in this

My laser tech has very large feet (she is genetic female) and she commented on my small feet, with a great deal of jealous banter . Along the lines of  'you can wear shoes I'd love to wear' etc. BTW we are totally friendly with each other. She said she has to wear flats, anything with a heel more than a puppy heel doesn't fit properly. She is female (Australian) size 13. She wears shoes that do not attract attention to her feet, dark hose, dark shoes, beautifully made face and of course pretend you don't want the girls to be looked at.

If you have male size 13 they are probably broad as well so you may need to go to 'specialist web sites' but  you don't want to attract attention to the feet as a fashion statement. Sorry
I'm about 5' 9",  in heels I'm over 6', I get noticed. Love it. But be aware, 6' girls don't blend in, they get looked at. I'm fine with that, in fact I like it. But your own presentation is what you need to think about.

My daughters felt some pay back when I came out.  I finally understood what a curse I gave them when they were "blessed" with big feet.   

They are size 10/11 and have a heck of a time finding shoes that fit, let alone are stylish.  I wear women's 12/w, and early on in my transition I found that I could not find shoes of any sort, let alone stylish, in brick and mortar stores.

The fetish sites charge exorbitant amounts for sky-high stilletos which really aren't my style at all.

However you can find very nice sensible, affordable, shoes online at the click and order sites like Payless and Zappo's. It isn't a matter of drawing attention away from your feet, but dressing in a style that accents you as a person.  Your shoes are only one part of your outfit, so pick shoes that compliment the rest of what you are wearing.  Comfort is definitely an issue as well if you have to wear them all day.

I think wildflower meant that the feet dont look as big with heels on because of how it arches rather then with no heels you're feet are just flat on the floor revealing how big your feet are.

I just really started buying women's shoes, I am a 12(M) which is just about 1 inch too long IMO, because I am seeing many regular stores stocking shoes up to 11, over 11 though and selection goes way down.  If your 10 or under your selection is pretty good.

There are sites though that do stock shoes for larger feet, here are two I found.

just be super confident in wearing what you want, confidence in yourself and your outfit will help others see you as you want to be seen

My step mom has huge feet and no one even notices unless she brings it up

I don't want to sound like I'm making light of this, but surely, any guy who looks at your feet has, well, his priorities a bit mixed up.

  I am 5' 10" I was 230 lb and a size 11 mens shoe, which makes me about a 13 in womens. Now I am 165 lb and a size 10 or 11 women  shoe. So loosing weight does take the pressure off the foot and not only makes it easier to walk in heels but it also will allow you to wear smaller shoes.

   At first I was afraid to wear heels(witch does make your foot look a little smaller)  being 5'10" that makes me 6' 1" in heels . But now I am so over that, I am proud to be the tallest person in the room or the tallest lady  in the market.  What I have come to realize is this. Nobody even notices your feet. Heck if you give them something to look at ie  a little cleavage their eyes never make it down that far.

   I think a good rule is, that if you are standing upright and you walk straight into a wall. Your boobs should be the first thing to hit the wall. If you have big feet, and they hit the wall first that only means that you need get those boobs out just a little further. (just kidding).

My feet are size 8 or so, so I don't have a lot of experience with feet-hiding, but I think generally going for darker colors, with concave visual designs if any might help play them down. Nothing too flashy! I think you should also go for boot cut if you are wearing jeans, so it will cover the feet a bit.

Hey Jess,

You're just like me.  I'm 5'11" and also wore size 13 shoes prior to transition.  The weird thing is that when I transitioned, I ended up wearing size 13 womens.  Which really sucks, but which is better than a higher size.  I wear mainly flats or other shoes that minimize my feet.  I don't get anything more than one inch if I wear pumps cos I don't want to look taller.

I always feel self-conscious of my feet, but I still pass fine.  Something funny happened earlier this year that made me think about this.  I was going somewhere and a friend was picking me up.  He's known me for over ten years and he doesn't know I'm trans.  I was wearing sandals, which I don't normally do, cos they are more revealing of the feet, and I don't like how they look.  As I got into his car, he saw my feet and he said, "My goodness Traci, your feet are so big!  They're bigger than mine!"

He had never noticed them before, after all the years he's known me.  It also didn't change how he views me.  I'm still the same Traci I always was to him.  He simply said, "Oh I guess it makes sense cos you're tall."
