Shoes

I used to wear heels, the higher the better for me they were. But since my ages advances rapidly, I lately am purchasing flats. I am addicted with loafers. 

I have an eye for this one in lilac color Franco Sarto

 

And you ladies, what shoe do you fancy wearing it?

That's a pretty shoe, but I would prefer sans tassels.  Just a thing for me, I've never like tassels on anything.  Have seen that cross strap a lot lately so I take it that's current fashion.  On my screen it looks white.  I was expecting pale lavender.  I think my screen colors are off.

It's been over a decade since I wore high heels, but I still like a low heel.  However, like you said, age makes us want flats more and more.  All my life I've wanted leather moccasins and I just got my first pair.  As expected, I don't even know they're on my feet.... soooo comfy, but I only wear them to town.  Out here in the country I spend most of my time in boring sneakers and house slippers, lol.  Traction on lumpy ground trumps fashion.

So, rather sheepishly, I have to admit that I'm still addicted to high heels. I know they aren't particularly practical for everyday wear, but personally I'm just not inspired much by flats.   My favorite heel height is between 3 inches and 3 3/4 inches, just the right height to meet my fashion standards, yet not too tall to walk in naturally.  

 

I do have a couple of pairs of flats for extremely casual events, but I always try to find an excuse to wear high heels.

I love high heels too.  Even though I haven't "mastered" the walk yet, I just love the way they make my legs look ?

I would love a couple cute pairs, of varying heel heights, nothing to crazy, as I'm 6'2". If anyone knows where I can find some that delivers to Canada and stocks cute ones in size 13 please let me know. Stripper heels are not my style, and that's all I can find so far.

 

Same goes for flats, sandals and boots. Why do they have to be utilitarian and ugly in my size. ?

I completely feel your pain. I'm a size 13 also. I've got a few pairs from Long Tall Sally (including my cute boots). They're currently going out of business, so I'd hurry. I can get gym shoes and sandals from Amazon. Exotic High Heels has stuff in our size, but nothing I'd call daily wear. DSW has a selection in our size as well. Not a HUGE selection, but they've got some stuff we can wear. Avenue and Torrid also offer a small selection.

 

There seems to be an unwritten law that the bigger shoes become the uglier they have to be. Finding something you like in Sasquatch can be challenging. Good luck!

 

Hugs!

Thanks Jackie. I am thinking of taking up shoe making as a hobby at this point. That or medicine so I can develop a surgery to make me smaller.

Hi Sara.  Size 13 Women's? (that would be size 11 mens).
I have had some success on Amazon.  In the shoe section do a By Size search.   Good luck❣️

So I ordered these in 12 and they just fit my 13 feet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0784HDKK8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I almost killed myself in them so threw them away. lol. Right now I would settle for any shoe I can find in a 13.  I've discovered size 11 sandals that fit me but 13 sandals not.  My foot measures a 13 solid.

When I was first coming out and starting my transition, I'd clomp around campus in these big platform heel boots that I got off Amazon. They were labelled size 14, but fit more like a size 11, and they had a 4.75 inch heel so needless to say they were pretty killer on my feet. The first time I wore them, I missed a step going down into our dining hall and fell in front of everyone. I'm pretty tall, had bright pink hair at the time and let out a very creative string of curses on my way down so it caused quite the scene. Since then though, I've opted for much more practical shoes, mostly flats and the few heels I have are lower and blockier, or wedges.

The last time that I wore stiletto heels, was when the Parthenon was built.

 

You're not that old @Dinaki!!!  But I can relate.  I wear flats mostly.  I don't wear heals over 1.5 inches.  Too wobbly!

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
