Sofa King Kule Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I went to a new store to browse. Lots of really cool looking shoes. I selected a pair that were marked in my size to try on. It was like putting my foot into a canoe. I had to go two sizes smaller to get any to fit. Got a pair just right, and dirt cheap. Now, I notice... They're cheap imports with a foreign size chart. No matter. They're just beater shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real_AirCooledGirl Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) So far, I only have one pair of women's shoes. The other three pairs I have are unisex. At least I can wear some Converses or steampunk boots with skinny jeans. And all summer, I've been rolling with a pair of low-heeled sandals. The main issue is finding women's shoes that fit my big-ass feet. I got the big feet genes from my mom. She and I are going to have to shop for some shoes in my size at some point, a mother-daughter day. When I was in boymode, I wore a U.S. men's size 11. That's equal to a 12 or 13 in women's. Why the hell are there different offsets for women's, men's and kids' sizes? Just use the metric Mondopoint scale instead! My foot in socks is 275 mm long by 105 mm wide, giving me a Mondopoint size of 275/105--SIMPLE!

A pal of mine who preferred to be called, Shenah was going to a professional shoe maker for all her pumps and fashion boots. It was costing her a fortune, but she said it was worth it. Other than that, I would assume that most of the larger sizes are on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was costing her a fortune, but she said it was worth it. Other than that, I would assume that most of the larger sizes are on line. I know Amazon sells large-size women's shoes. I might try them at some point. When I last looked at women's shoes online, I tried Hot Topic. All the stuff they had was too small for my big-ass feet. One of my mom's coworkers suggested trying Shoe Show; they sell shoes for women with large feet. Many options in larger sizes are often sold as crossdresser-style, and many of the mainstream brands top out at U.S. size 10 or 11. For the longest time, I rolled with black Converse high-tops (which I still keep around), mainly because I was confused about converting from men's to women's sizes. A trans man with small feet can simply buy his shoes from the young men's section of the store. But us trans gals (especially if we started with big feet)? Shoe-shopping can be harder. Women's shoes also run narrower than men's shoes so, depending on the manufacturer, I might need a wide width. Of course, I might see a drop in shoe size as long as I'm on HRT. This isn't due to changes in the bones of my feet but rather the ligaments and muscles. Similarly, I may notice slimming of my hands and wrists. But that takes years to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
