My feet are the same the world over; boutiques carry sizes until the one right before my size.

In the US, this means they stop at size 10. In france, they stop at size 41. I would be happy to wear a 10.5 or 11 or a size 42!

I'm really considering just shopping for men's shoes at these places because I can never find any styles I like in the women's shoes anyways, but almost always some plain tough leather manshoe that i like. Plus, there are 9.5s or 42s in men's sizes.

I just feel so embarassed looking at the men's side of stores though!

How can I feel better about wanting to be deviant? What size are your feet?

(I don't mind the physicality of having large feet, just the difficulty shopping for shoes and socks)

Pretend you're lost when you're looking in the men's section.

As for me, I wear US size 11 men's, and I either wear my pink and black checkered shoes or my white-with gray, black, and pink striped shoes. :D

You can feel better about it by doing your shoe shopping with me!
(even if I don't want to go shoe shopping much/ever...)

I always jump between 10 and 10.5 US, whichever is more comfortable/convenient. My dad's feet are pretty tiny, I don't know his shoe size but we were sharing shoes when I was younger (probably 12-13) and then mine became way too big for him. You don't really notice it until he takes his shoes off and it's like wow those are small shoes!

SIZE 11 here. 11.5 sometimes. ;_; So when I went to Europe and saw all the pretty shoes I could NEVER HAVE I almost died. ;_;

It's so difficult buying shoes and I feel really embarrassed going in the men's section but I pretend like I'm shopping for someone else and when everyone leaves I try them on. >_> ;_;

International Shoe Size Conversion Charts/Converter Tables for Shoes Sizes (http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html)

I'm a 47-48 by European measure (around 13 in US mens') but I usually have to cram into 46es.

5, if I can't get a 5, 5 1/2 is just as comfortable.

13 or 14 US, which is about as high as the shoe stores will go, so any bigger and I'm screwed.

I'm really a 4.5 but nowhere ever sells half sizes, and 4s are too small and 5s are a little loose, but I buy UK 5s. I often get blisters and ouchies on the back of my feet because they rub because they're a little big. A 5 UK size is a 6 US size, apparently. I have little feeties. :jess:

I am usually a size (US) 6.5 but I can go up to a 7.5 depending on the brand. What's nice about my small feet is I can go to children's shoes and most of them usually run to about 4/5 kids and I'll fit in those too. Though I find it really awkward that my sexy black sandals are from the kids' section.

As for shopping in the guys section, it gets less and less awkward. I do it for clothes because cargo shorts are just a million times more practical than mini skirts or short-shorts.

I wear anywhere from a 9 to a 10.5, depending on the shoe. And uh, a 43/44 in European sizes? Hmm, that may be useful. xDD

But I have rather wide feet, and that can be a hassle. ;__;

I wish that mens' shoes came in much different styles and variations. Like, when i'm at a store looking at shoes, i'll be in the mens' section looking at pair after pair of leather loafers and dress shoes, and then I walk by the womens' section and they've got all their little pumps, and peeptoes, and slingbacks and stilettos. It makes me sad. ;__;

But then i'll see a pair of colorful tennis shoes and it makes me happy! But I absolutely HATE black tennis shoes! I don't know why, but I just despise them so much! :mad2:

I like Sperry's. <333

Nothing fits me XP

I run 11-13 depending on brand and on top of that I have flat feet and if that wasn't enough I also have narrow feet. The only shoe brand that I have found that has a nice fit are Nikes.
