Women Heels Size :)

I once thought I would be size 14 - 16 in women heels but I'm luckily only size 12-13 yay! :D 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 :P

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

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.

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,

I have the exact opposite problem from Sally. My feet have always been too small for men's shoes :huh: (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!

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. >.<

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.

SHOESSSS !!!! :D

Sorry, i had to :P i love the things !! Stillettos = possibly the best invention... everrrr !!!

hehe :) X

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!

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.

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 :P

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

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.

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

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.

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.

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
