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.

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
