Large Size Shoes

Shoes of Your Dreams (.com)

This site has been in the back of my mind for a few months about two pairs of shoes that I wanted to buy but I was hesitant and I wasn't sure how reputable they were. Well, last night I decided to go ahead and order those two pairs and see for myself. So I went to the site and found the black mary janes flats and the pair of flat black ballet flats that I had my eyes on and placed my order.

Now on the site they warn that their sizes run 1-2 sizes large so order one size less than your normal male shoe size. Yes! The company is actually catering to men shoe sizes in women's shoes. So my normal men's size is a 15 so I ordered a 14. I was woken up this morning to my phone ringing. Not knowing the number I let it go to voice mail. When I checked it I found out it was a lady from the site calling to confirm, since I'm a new customer, that I ordered the correct size since I guess some don't read the warning or don't pay attention to it. So I wrote her back stating that I normally wear a 15 so that's why I ordered a 14 and if in fact that was correct. She wrote me back again giving some measurements for the two shoes so I measured my foot and determined that a 14 would be okay. Plus with women's shoes I wear a thin sock or no sock. She wrote me back a third time to confirm my order and state that it would be shipped out in 1-2 business days and the company pays for returns should I in fact need a smaller or larger size.

We'll see how they are and how they fit when they get here but I'm already a lot more confident about the company after that email exchange. It made me feel valued as a customer knowing that they wanted me to be confident about my purchase and happy with that I'll be receiving. :)

Hi Lizzie!

Thanks for sharing that information with us! I just got a pair in from Endless and they are pretty tight fitting. They are the Pleaser brand, and I believe I read somewhere that they tend to be smaller than the size would indicate.

Hugs,

Opal

I wouldn't buy Pleasers anyway. They're a little too fetishy for me. There are some other nice shoes on this site though, even if a little pricey. I'm looking for a Payless for women with big feet. It's gotta be out there somewhere.

Honey if there was a Payless for women with big feet I would have found it. The site I mentioned is the closest thing. Yeah $100 or so for a pair of shoes is a little much. They were on sale though.... Shipping was $15 though. I'll be looking forward to seeing the quality of construction and how they feel to determine if I buy from them again.

And as cute as those Pleaser Mary Jane shoes are, seeing there's nothing on that site in my size with less than a 2" heel, I'm not buying.

Hi Everyone!

First off, I'd like to apologize for my earlier posting on this thread. I inadvertently took it in an entirely unplanned direction, which was entirely unfair to Lizzie. Plus, I had chosen a brand that was unreliable in its sizing of product, and had been warned about, yet I went ahead and ignored the warning. The cost of return shipping is such that it wouldn't be worth attempting a return, so I just have to figure its part of the cost of my learning experience.

I really do feel bad about this, and wish I hadn't have made that particular post, or at least worded it better in that I had erred in what I had bought. I just hope you will forgive me.

Hugs (hopefully)

Yes and I wasn't too impressed with the selection my search results came back with.

I'm also a bit confused how I got 2 skirts listed, too. :blink:

Oh, my order shipped so I shall get to see how they look and how they feel in a few days.

So my shoe order came in today and they're both fabulous!

Both pairs fit nicely, they're both exactly what I ordered, and to top it all off, they both were packaged with a cloth bag to put them in so they don't get scuffed up or dusty. I partly wonder if the bags are originally meant to hide these shoes from a nosy spouse or something. Either way, the patent leather mary janes came with 2 bags so each shoe is protected and the flat black leather shoes came with one bag.

Needless to say, I'm very pleased with my order. They look to be good quality, too. If I need to buy shoes again (and really, what women doesn't?) I'll be checking this place out first. :D

(The company is based in California, the shoes ship from Wisconsin)

I completely agree. I don't ever see myself wearing those shoes. Luckily for me, since I can fit into a woman's 12 (and 11 in sandals) there are some at Wal-Mart that I can get. Actually, I found a SUPER pretty pair of sandals in an 11 that were only $10!!!

Hi Gin; Payless only carries up to size 12ww but you can ask the clerk to tell you where to order bigger shoes.

most of them will tell you. I was lucky, I wear a 12ww in womens size. Some of my shoes are 11w- I guess it depends

on the company making them. Hope this helps? Luv Ya Regina Renea

I normally can't find anything decent looking that is bigger than an 11, but I have been having some luck getting 12's and even 12.5 on one website that runs random sales. The designers offered are always changing, but the last 3-4 shoe sales had some decent looking shoes in my size (12/42), and best of all, they are all 50-75% off. The only problem is they sell out fast, so you have to keep checking back for new sales. The only downside is that you have to register to get into the website. They offer some really good deals on clothes, as well.

Pleasers are a brand name - I have ordered from then twice, on different occasions - I couldn't even get close to putting my feet in them either time (size 13) I wear a woman's 12 wide or a 13 medium in any other brand.

I wrote and complained the shoes were not to size - they wrote back and said they were and I would have to pay for shipping both ways - IF the shoes had not been worn. How could I have worn them if I couldn't get them on my feet! The shipping costs was more than the shoes. I gave them away to someone who wears a size 10. They fit her. Pleasers are not anywhere near to their name and perhaps should be called Rip-offs.

Ah, yeah that sucks! I'd say just buy shoes at the store!

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
