Shoes & Shoe Sizes

I'm not too sure about femme shoes since I have size 11/12 (UK) feet and women are generally not known for having big feet: anything I could do to get a pair that fit? In general, how do CD's get around the 'shoe issue'?

I don't know about the UK, but I just go to the large women's shoe section at Payless, starting at men's size +2, and when no one's looking try them on. On a visit to San Francisco, I was less modest and got a really nice pair of heels.

I'm a bit luckier, my shoe size is a 9 (UK) but can get away with some 8's but prefer 8EE.

Some of the catalogues inserted into various TV weekly mags cater to those with wide feet, or eBay often have some good offers available.

All need to come to Holland for a short shopping holiday :-). Plenty of nice shoe collections in many places. Size's from 36 up to 45 /46 European size.

All the shops do not blink an eye if you walk in as man asking for high heels and they don't mind if you want to try them all.

One very big shop is about 100 meters from my house, so when finished, pop in for a drink ;-)

Shoes buying by the internet is very difficult, all manufactures use slightly different mould.

I personally sometimes have 43, or 43,5 and when they falling small 44. And the with is also very important. It usually takes me two hours to buy a pair of new shoes, they are expensive and I can not afford to buy some that do not fit the end.

Woman shoes must fit much tighter then the male shoes and they need "walking in".

Most of the shops also sell over the internet but the site's are in Dutch.

I wear a size 13 in mens sizes (US) I ordered size 15 women and they fit perfectly. There are several places you can order from on the net, I got mine from Suddenly Fem they specialize in clothing for (cd) girls

Keep an eye out for,during warmer weather,sandals that have elastic straps.I just found an adorable pair of Mootsie Tootsies (mfg brand) in a size 11 that fit my size 12-13 foot beautifully.Nice inch and 1/2 heel.Open shoes/sandals allow the larger girth of the male foot to it into those types of footwear,with elastic even more chance they'll fit,and be comfy!!

Good luck,love to all! Joanne

Hi...my name is Meryl and am new to the forum. Shoes are my problem too. I wear a size 15 men's shoe and am looking for some strappy sandals in, like, a size 17 in women's. Right now, I've got a generic size 17 pump ordered.

From your experience, do you think I could fit into a size 16 sandal...I would really love to because 16 is usually where the cutoff is for anything stylish. Just wishful thinking I guess. Let me know what you gals think ;-) Thanks, Meryl

Some conversion charts will tell you that your fem shoe size is 2 sizes larger than your male shoe size. I have found that shoe sizes are like dress sizes. You need to try them on to find what size fits you. In my case I wear a size 8US male shoe but a size 9US womans. If I went with the chart, I should be wearing a size 10US womans shoe. I once tried on a size 10US and found I could put two fingures between my heel and the back part of the shoe.

I bought my first two pair of high heels through ebay and both were a reasonable fit.

I recently bought some women's boots with a 3 inch heel in a shopping centre, i gathered my courage and simply picked up a pair and tried them on for size.

To my delight they were a good fit so now they are a part of my wardrobe. :)

Hi :)

I lucked out and have women's size feet (sz8us), in fact all my shoes are women's size, I can't find men's shoes to fit properly not to mention that I find women's styles more apealling anyhow. I love Mary Janes. I find most of my shoes on Ebay. You can get some real nice one's for a fraction of what you can get them retail, and you don't have to worry about someone gauking at you while trying them on. If you don't mind wearing a shoe that's been gently worn, look in your local thrift store, but be selective. I find some really nice one's there.

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
