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)
