Women Heels Size :)

[Guest andreahilton]

I once thought I would be size 14 - 16 in women heels but I'm luckily only size 12-13 yay! Whats yours? (Don't have to tell if you don't want to)

In the movie white chicks, I got the idea of squeezing a smaller size from this:

Rich girl: What size are you? (for shoes)

Policeman undercover as a rich girl: Size 14......

Rich girl: "can u bring a size 10?" (to sale lady)

Policeman undercover as a rich girl: "A WHAT?!"

Rich girl: "its an open toed slide it gives u 2 sizes in the front and 2 in the back"

That gave me the idea of how to get into smaller shoe size so if I tried that I would be size 8 or 9 with opened toed heels

Do you have any tips or know somebody that have a good tips about shoes and sizes?

[Guest NatalieRene]

I inherited my mom's feet which means mine are a size 8 but just a little too wide for size 8 heels. I've found that a 8.5 gives me the extra width without too much more length.

[Sally]

I had an impossible size to get in men's shoes - a 13AA.

But because my toes are a little short and my foot is narrow, I wear a 13 in women's shows as well.

Love ya,

Sally

I have the exact opposite problem from Sally. My feet have always been too small for men's shoes (6 1/2). I usually

had to special order them.

So when I recently started wearing women's shoes, it was easy to find size 8.5 - 9. But I do have to find wide

or extra wide women's sizes, which still limits my selection in closed toed shoes. Open toed and strappy styles

are no problem.

Geez....

I'm 9-9/1/2 in male shoes, but my feet are wide...

So 10-11 in female shoes and I really need to get to a good shoe store and try some comfortable ones on...

And Carolyn....you are on lucky girl!

Kewl as! There's lot of different answers however the people with small sizes are really lucky well according to me

[Guest Elizabeth K]

It's okay Dee Jay - I buy comfortable shoes.

Open toed and strappy and sandal shoes fit good in slightly smaller sizes. Higher heels (go figure) seem to be easier to wear in the smaller size shoes, I suppose because of the arching of the foot. But elastic banded back straps work very well.

The hardest to buy woman's shoe is the low heel pump or flat which is closed in.

The biggest discomfort - and women suffer this - is the eventual 'wedging' of the toes to the front in heels. So if you have wider feet - look out!

Also white shoes look huge, because of the color I guess.

And a 12W and a 13M seem the same for me (never said I had small feet).

-- suggestions for brown flats - size 10w or 11w. at Payless?

I am researching some flats from Payless Shoesource - I found there is one near my house. I like them - once you sort of start trying on the shoes they either help out or ignore you and act like everything is cool. Which I prefer at this stage. Anyway, has anyone bought any wide flats @ payless or have any suggestions? i'm sort of over the heels kick and need a pair of nice shoes for work/life. I'm thinking brown would be better for my wardrobe. Nice thing about Payless is you can try on the shoes! None of this mail order nonsense where things are so tight I rip them the moment I try them on.

It's fairly similar, be mindful of narrow toes if your feet are wide. If you find a narrow toe style try a size larger then you would usually wear and see if they fit. Be prepared to have to move on to other shoes though, because sometimes by the time you toes fit the shoe is too long. >.<

[Guest nymphblossom]

The open toe slide thing has it's limits. It may "fit" but it won't look right on your foot. I recently got a fantastic deal on a pair of Naturalizer sandals. I was absolutely thrilled until my wife said my feet looked like an elephant in a tutu

well, I just got back from Payless. I bought a pair of sensible black mary jane's, a black wedge w/ 1 1/2 heel with a round toe and a pair of coral wedges with the cork sole for $5. I had to stick with the round toe as the pointed toe really pinched. The saleswoman was a little taken aback but as I was the first customer of the days she didn't seem to mind. I was tempted not to go but I read the blog this morning and got more confidence. They had the store organized by size which REALLY helped. The downtown stores used to organize by style and you had to go down row after row looking for shoes above a 8 or 9. This place had about 30 pairs of 11's and 6-7 11w. i can fit into 11 but wide is a little more comfy. I also got some fun black/pink polka-dot knee high socks!

Question:

should my top match my shoes or just the belt? I got the coral wedges because 1. they're cute and 2. I like pinks, tangerine, tops.

I don't know, Petal. I've talked to cisgendered women about high heels, and they swear they

were invented in the middle ages to torture women into confessing to being witches.

Yes, the look great, but oh, the pain!

Carolyn Marie

[Guest NatalieRene]

I thought they where invented to keep women from running away.

[Guest petal15]

Oh well i think the pain is so worth it if you want to look good !

And anyway, i always found that thing kinda kinky

When i finally transition, which i will, im going to wear high heels every day just to look and feel great ! And of course im going to live in NoJudgement as soon as its built.

Don't over do it. If you wear really high heels for too long you can do some serious damage to your feet. Remember all good things in moderation.

Does anyone know what a womens high heels shoe size is for a mens size 11 ??

[Guest Robin Winter]

I came to this forum looking to see if anyone knew of a chart to determine womens shoe sizes from mens sizes. My feet are 9-9 1/2 mens as well, so you answered my question without a chart

That would still be a neat thing to have posted though, if anyone knows of such a thing.

[Guest Robin Winter]

Found aShoe Size Chart on Wikipedia

Not specifically mtf shoes or vice versa, but lists shoe sizes in different regions, in both male and female sizes, and compares them all down the line. Does the trick

[Guest Margaret]

Petal, I take a size 8 Male UK, and buy size 7 Female UK, as I find that if I but Female 8's they slip off to easily and a size smaller keeps them on better, and I also use heel grips. I only buy heels, so that works for me. Don't know your preferences, but try buying a cheap pair first and see if it works for you. Matalan are good for cheap shoes as they sell them off very cheap when they end the range. I'm loving shoes from Dorothy Perkins, as for me at least, they are very comfortable.

Hope this helps, I'm completely bamboozled by the sizes mentioned by our American sisters.

I worked for Thom McAnns for two years as a assistant manager of an outlet.

The best way to find the true size you wear,is to go in the late afternoon or

early evening when your feet have settled for the day.This will give you your

Real size.Use the shoe scale provided that all shoe stores have,and measure

your feet on the ladies side.Easy and accurate and cuts out any costly mistakes.

[Guest Sara P]

Hmm... maybe I'm different, but I wear size 12 mens, and I fit into size 10 heels? Does that make sense?

<3 Sara

[Guest MissAmy]

I wear 12 mens, so I guess I'd be 13 or 14 in womens

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

I'm a 10.5 mens, so my first purchases were 12's, but they proved too big. I've bought all 11's since then. 11.5 would have been perfect, but I haven't seen half-sizes. Luckily, my feet are narrow for a male, if they were wider, the 11's would be too small.

Kat

I need either an 11.5 or 11W for womens sizes the second I can get in some styles from payless (www.paylessshoes.com) as far as half sizes go they have them in an even smaller range of styles. I think 12 would be too big for me but ive not found any on the rack there so I have no idea. There is a place in Albuquerque called Women's shoe wearhouse (its out by Cottonwood Mall ) Ive not been in there but its a huge place so they might have shoes for larger feet. If I can find a url for them I will post it.
