I can't find shoes my size!

I have been searching endlessly to find shoes my size. My shoe size is 14W in a mans size. I need the woman's equal in a pump or womens boot. Does anyone know where I can get this for little to no $$$? I am out of work and I need shoes going job searching.

Your shoe size in womens shoes would be a 15 or 16 and I cannot find those in my usual source sites. I did look at Payless Shoe Source, and there are some mens shoes that could be worn with women's suits or slacks outfits and be highly presentable and appropriate. One of my bosses was a natal woman who had women's size 13 feet and often had to buy the more androgynous mens sizes herself. I was a professional level manager and she was two positions above me. Shoes did not really matter. Deck shoes in a black color would do nicely.

thank you. I have been searching around, and I did find some for around $50 so I might try your suggestion and see what I can do.

There are pumps and boots in ladies 16 at Amazon, try a search there, granted the selection in that size is not the best, but there are some offered, not big bucks.

I have found Payless to be a good source especially close to an Afro- American community or larger town. I wear women's 13 w and have no trouble finding shoes there. I know the sizes go up beyond my size but don't know how big. The people at the local store have always been nice to me. I've had a good time lamenting my big feet with other women. One problem i find is that many have heels that make them impractical for a work environment.

Hugs,

Hi Misty,

I have done well on Ebay for shoes but I am fortunate that my size is on the upper end of the common shoe sizes. It would be worth a look to be sure. The internet in general is a wonderful resource for hard to find sizes. Though there is the ever present risk of getting something that doesn't fit. I have been pretty fortunate to date.

Hugs

Allison

Unfortunately, yes, you will pay more for a good pair of shoes in your size. But any shoe that is decently made is going to cost you well into the double-digits, and you want your shoes to last a long time.

Pleaser USA is one I recommend to anyone looking for specifically feminine styles, several of their lines have shoes in size 16. Converse goes up to size 18 (I presume womens?) and their styles are pretty much unanimously gender-neutral.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
