Where to find boots that fit?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have a shoe and leather boot fetish, but it seems that in a female size 9 (my size) the top part of the boots are either too skinny (anorexic almost) or way too big. I have nice shapely legs that are very toned. I found are really sexy pair the other day but the tops were too big. :hairpull: I guess im luck not to have huge feet but this is frustrating...

Better a 9 than a 12 women's!! I'm just out of the range that most stores carry, since they usually stop at 11. So I have to be content with what I can find when I can find it. I'd trade you my problem for yours in a heartbeat though! :)

But do you find that the tops of them dont fit? Most I find are way too big.

I guess I'm lucky Im shorter.

Where do tall women shop then?

btw

Your picture in your avatar is pretty.

Hi Lexi,

I had terrific luck with DSW shoes. Looking at my everyday wear for work, all have come from DSW, ranging from flats to boots. I have two pairs of boots that are calf-length. One is just right, the other a bit loose. But, that's the style. Most women's calves would be a bit smaller than mine, I think. I've seen girls wearing boots that are tiny by comparison to mine. There must be a small percentage of women who could actually fit into those. But they are cute, if you can do it!

Best of luck!

Love, Megan

Just so you know, the boots I own do not fit tightly against my legs. In fact, they are pretty loose once they get above my ankle. I wouldn't worry too much if they are loose on top, thats been normal for every pair of boots I've owned.

And another head's up - Payless shoes sells women's shoes up to size 13 - though the styles get more limited the higher the shoe size is. They have great sales, especially on the bigger sizes. I got 3 pair for my husband for about $40.

Yeah, someone else said DSW sells bigger sizes in women's shoes. I don't normally shop at DSW, but I can certainly stop in and check if I see one. If you want a tight fitting boot, look for the kind that lace up. There are also some that have straps on them which allow the boots to be tightened around your ankle / calf. Depending on what type of boots you are looking for, you can look into the platform boots that tighten up the ankle - I know I've seen them at Hot Topic. I'm trying to think where else I've seen shoes above a size 10 but I loathe shoe shopping so I'm usually in and out of the store.

I got a dress at hot topic. Luckily I'm a women size 9 so I can go to most womens shoe stores. But I could use a pair of go-go boots!

You can google search - women's shoes/boots, size 12(or whatever) and a bazillion of them will pop up. Not all threads will take you to a shoe your size so you have to be patient.

Hi

I'm an absolute boot fanatic. As I have joked in previous posts: I'm the Imelda Marcos of cross dressing when it comes to shoes and boots. I buy from E-bay and there are so many types available. For a narrow calf look for some lace-ups. I have several wonderful lace-up boots that can be drawn nice and firm against the calf. Ditto for over the (increasingly weak) knee.

I also have a thing for shoes and boots. the higher the heel the better. i think i am lucky as my feet are size 8 and nearly all shoes i have bought have fitted well. I recently bought some thigh boots and they are the first that are a bit tight for my feet but the trade off is they are a good fit up to the thigh.

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer

      Patches are the HRT method of least risk. Be aware of your estrogen levels with bloodwork. My doctor took me off patches because my estrogen levels were low. And put me on estradiol valerate injections. I have to say that made a big difference. Be aware of the changes. I don't know your age, or circumstances, but I would research available options of administering hormones.    There are other methods of taking estrogen, and you should research all of them. When my doctor changed my prescription to estradiol valerate amazing things happened. He was slow to prescribe the needles so I ordered them online. I have used injectables before. Getting the nerve to poke myself with the needle was a great hurdle to overcome.   As far as a rollercoaster feeling, I never felt that as much as the excitement of finally starting HRT. That overrode everything. I couldn't focus on how my emotions changed, for excitement trumped all emotions. Let the emotions of starting HRT settle, then make the decisions you feel will best benefit you.    Good luck with your journey,   Jennifer

      Regarding the candidates...this is the best either side could do since Obama was President? Biden is supportive, but when I see really solid gains, like ensuring that all transition services are covered by all insurance companies, I will believe the support.   I do not think anybody is trying to destroy the country, but with the current polarization, there is no compromise. There is this "you are either with us or against us" mantra being touted. We can moan all we want about Trump and his ilk, but face it: They are very well coordinated on a national level. They currently have a number of states with a super-majority.   What set all of this in motion? I suspect that there is a lot of things that got under the skin of a lot of conservative folks. Some of it our own fault, and some of it not. Make no mistake, we are in trouble. If they successfully ban child and adolescent transition nationally, I suspect we will be next. Now they may not pass a law, but if they eliminate the requirement that insurance companies cover the costs of medications, procedures, and surgeries, there will be fewer folks transitioning. The services may still be available, but it will be a cash only business. There are already a fair number of healthcare providers who will not accept the insurance reimbursement rates. There are a number of folks that will lack the resources. That is how you limit our existence. We will still exist, but it will get much harder.

      I talked to my doctor about this. And I was frank. He told me I was in a grey area, and I agree. I scored a 3, but alcohol has not controlled my life. I won't drink when I have obligations. But, when I can relax, I drink sometimes. I can control it. I intentionally don't buy alcohol before I go to work at the hospital. When I get off work I can't buy it. And this is by design.    Do I have an alcohol problem? Yes. Can I control it? Yes. Does AA help? Yes. But I consider myself a borderline alcoholic. And yes I'd love to stop and AA works for this. I found I don't need the 12 steps, attending is enough to stop the craving.
