Female. 5’ 5" I am _not_ announcing my weight on a public message board! 😃 I wear a 5-1/2 or 6 depending on the shoe. It is tiresome trying to find shoes to fit me. Nobody ever carries more than two or three types of shoes in my size. And forget boots. I bet **niblet\_head** can sympathize with me on this. I haven’t bought tennis shoes (sneakers, whatever they call them now) in ages but the last time I did, I wore a boy’s 4 in those. ---

Male 14 years old Shoe size is ~12, sometimes 13. Foot length is approx 27.5 cm 6’1" (a bit over 1") Very wide feet I have always had problems finding shoes wide enough, it took 4 different stores to find Ski boots that would fit me, and they had to be custom expanded. Normal shoes are still difficult to find, have to try on many different ones to find them wide enough. My feet have always been extremely wide, and it’s annoying as hell, I can’t squish them into thin shoes because the bones jut out into the padding really hard. ---

Male 6’0", 210 Ibs, size 46 (Eur), 10.5 (UK), 11.5 (US) I know of ‘speciality’ shops that make women’s shoes in my size for drag queens, maybe some of you well behoofed women might check the drag scene for dress shoes. (No I don’t wear high heels, I just know of the existance of such shoes in my sizes) ---

New Balance used to make what I think of as “waiter shoes” which are also great for camera people as we’re on our feet for 18 hours at a time, often. They’re suede leather, all black and SUPER comfortable. I have them… I got them for a movie theater job where black shoes were required. ---

> [@Boscibo](#): > > Female 5’4", shoe 8 - 8.5. > > This seems to be a fairly popular size for women, so I can usually find shoes in that size. However it is hard sometimes because it is such a popular size, many styles are sold out in that size first. Me too! I used to wear a 7 to 7.5, but I swear my feet grew when I was pregnant. ---

Female, 20 years old, 5’4", US women’s size 10-11 Wide. Probably because I’m fat. For some reason my feet are also abnormally… I guess “thick” would be the word… height-wise, like it’s impossible to find sandals because my feet just don’t fit underneath the straps, even if they’re a good length/width. I hate shoe shopping. :mad: ---

Female, 5’7", size 8.5 to 9 in U.S. women’s sizes. I have no trouble finding shoes in my size, but with a freakishly narrow heel and a freakishly tall instep, I have some trouble finding shoes that aren’t slice-and-dice blister-causing torture devices. Still, that hasn’t stopped me from amassing a truly ridiculous number of shoes. And **flamingbananas** , my feet grew to almost adult size _well_ before I grew to my adult height. In 8th grade, my feet hit a size 8 when I was still only about 4’10", so I looked just like a capital “L”! Now I look at L-shaped teenagers and just think “Oh, she’s going to be tall.” ---
