Size

[Guest tori319]

I wear a size 11 shoe and I'm 5'9 am I to big and can I expect any change in height or shoes size.Oh and what size will I wear in women shoes

Tori hon,

Woman's sizes are approximately 2 sizes larger than mens so an 11 men's = 13 woman's

Generally your shoe size will not change much on hormones, but i have heard of some losing a size, in almost 2 years on hormones i still am at a size 11 woman's shoe, heels you may have to go up a size.

Honey............

Your height is based on your skeleton....

That will not change at all.....

And as Paula says, shoe size may.....

HUGGS!

A great deal of shoe size is also determined by the shape of your foot - the length of your toes, the length of the metatarsal bones.

The ratios of the lengths of the different bones cause a difference in the shape of male and female feet - the change is not drastic but in my case, I have never owned a truly comfortable pair of men's shoes in my life - the 13 seems to be a little better but it rubs the side of my arch very badly - I put on a women's shoe size 13 and it fits - no more arch pain.

Because my foot has a more feminine shape I have been force to wear longer men's sizes and that makes the women's size the same.

Love ya,

Shoes? You need to try shoes on to see. You foot shape is what determines which woman's size you wear - for example - I wear a 13 men's AND 13 womans.

I can sometimes wear a men's 12 - and I can sometimes wear a woman's 12 D

And the type of shoe and the brand also make a difference. I have on a womaen's 12 W leather Klogs - and a 13 would be too large.

Hope this helps

Is 5'9 to tall?

[Guest Donna Jean]

Is 5'9 to tall?

Not at all........

Lots of women are in that height range....

I really don't think that is a bad height for a woman at all....

Just check out some of the women here...

Many, many over 6'.............

But, they pass beautifully!

HUGGS!

I am 5'8", there are many that are over 6' and pass just fine, look around next time you are out women come in all shapes and sizes.

I am a nudge under 6'2" - I don't have any problems passing. There are women taller than I am - it's in the attitude.

Lizzy

See, Tori?

That's what I was telling you.....Lizzy passes beautifully...it's not the height or even the size...

50% of it is your presentation and the other 95% is attitude!.........(?)

Tori, I would love to be 5'9" again but those days slipped away with my youth - I am 6'4" and no one seems to care!

When Lizzy and I first met I was so happy not just to meet her (which was just an amazing thrill) but I also thought that I had shrunk a bit because we were looking at each other eye to eye and I knew she was 2 inches shorter than me!

That part of the thrill went away when I realized that she was wearing a 2" heel and I was wearing my favorite ballet flats.

Th thrill of meeting Donna Jean was accompanied by a question, I was wondering if I had let her get to the top of the stairs when I hugged her - she had but I thought she was at least one step down!

We made things as difficult as possible for passing when we met - the two if us well over 6' and Donna Jean standing between us at 5'7" - no one noticed, we were just three ladies out shopping, having dinner and enjoying the girl's night out.

It is mostly attitude!

5'9" is pretty close to average around here.

Love ya,

Sally

But she can count to 22 if she takes her shoes off!

I'm sorry Dee Jay, that was an old joke but you do have to realize we have a new audience!

Confidence is a major key - if you seem to be worried or looking away all of the time, people will study you much closer - if you are relaxed like the three of us were in Memphis - no one will really try to figure it out - they just see us as we see ourselves.

If you see yourself as a 'man in a dress' then so will they - if you see yourself as a women - then that is what you are.

Love ya,

Seems strange to me. I wear a 13d in mens shoes, but an 11wide to a 12 in womens. I must have weird feet.

As far as height, barefoot I'm 6'3. When I put on my boots I jump up to 6'6, because I have always worn western boots.
