The right pair of shoes can instantly transform the way you look, feel, and walk. That’s why a girl can never own too many pairs!
Of course, not all shoes are created equal and some styles are much more flattering and feminizing than others.
That’s why in this blog post, I’ve compiled the top 7 shoe styles for crossdressers and transgender women.
From classy high heels to comfortable flats, here are the best MTF shoes to enhance your feminine image.
1. Classic Black Pumps
What could be more chic than a pair of classic black pumps? They add a polished look to any outfit, making them a feminine wardrobe staple.
For the most mileage, choose a closed-toe, full back style with a heel that’s high enough to help loosen up your hips as you walk.
2. Ballet Flats
You don’t have to wear high heels to look feminine!
Ballet flats are a fantastic option, especially if you’re on the taller side or want to look pretty and stylish without sacrificing comfort.
3. D’Orsay Pumps
The d’Orsay is a beautiful and elegant pump style in which the sides are cut away to reveal the arch of the foot.
D’Orsay pumps are perfect for showing off shapely legs – an asset for most crossdressers and transgender women.
4. T-Straps
T-straps add a sexy touch to pumps, high heel sandals, and flats. T-strap shoes have two distinct benefits:
- The ankle strap offers extra support for your ankles, making them easier to walk in than other heels.
- The vertical line created by the center strap draws the eye upwards, making your legs look longer.
5. Nude Heels
If you’re on a budget, nude heels will give you the most mileage since they can be worn with literally any color of outfit.
Choose a nude tone that blends in with your skin to make your legs look miles long – an added bonus!
6. Wedges
Still trying to master walking in heels? Then consider a wedge heel. Since the sole covers more ground, they’re much easier to walk in.
One caveat: Wedges have a chunky look, so they are best for those with thinner legs. Stay away from them if you have large or muscular legs.
7. Tall Boots
Boots are sexy and sassy, so they’re a wardrobe must.
Choose knee high boots for the most elegant look. Tall boots are more flattering and slimming than ankle boots or boots that hit the middle of the calf.
Let’s talk shoes!
Of course, these 7 shoe styles are only the beginning! While all of these options are fantastic, the best shoes are the ones that make YOU look and feel your best.
I could talk about shoes for days, so let’s keep the conversation going!

Hi,lucille, I’ve found my shoe size is an eleven and I have a few pair of ballet types in both black and grey and a pair of boots, ankle style in brown,route 66, size 11 as well. All go great with my outfits. But thanks for the advice.
How’s it
My single biggest challenge in footwear is simply how big my feet are. I wear size 15 in men’s, which translates to 16.5-17 in women’s. It is EXTREMELY hard to find shoes in size 16+ in women’s!
ledame.com has WONDERFULLY comfortable LARGE shoes!
I officially love you, that site is awesome and you’re awesome for finding it and recommending it!
Attached a pic of my recent purchase…
Aliexpress.com has heels up to size 18
It’s like being stranded on a deserted island for years and someone has offered a ride via helicopter to a five-star resort all expenses paid…that’s the feeling of having such a resource handed to me after all these years! I’m practically in tears! Thank you so much!
I am pretty new the the whole women’s shoe thing but found some lovely nude wedges locally which fit nice and look good, learning to walk in heals is a challenge but I love the way it make me feel and how it changes your posture so will be on the lookout for some more only there is limited choice in my size locally (43) so will need to look further afield.
Thank you Lucille for your amazing website and products, you have a lifetime customer in me!
Hi Lucille and other friends I have a modest five pairs of shoes. I own a calf-length pair of shiny black boots. Additionally, I own a pair of navy blue D’orsay Pumps, and a pair of red ones. To complete my collection, I have two pairs of classic black pumps.
I feel my image is properly topped off with my footwear options.
As always I love the topic of the blog.
Dear Lucille,
My problem is finding femme shoes, sandals and boots that fit me at all … much less comfortably … that I can afford!!! I am one of those WAY above average “large” gurlz (6-3, 270, etc.).
I have shopped for shoes and boots for years in domestic stores (nothing found). Sure, outside the country custom made are available, but they are ten times as expensive as they should be.
I invested in rather expensive “16 Wide’s” (the largest I could find anywhere online), only to find out when they arrived they were bitterly tight, very uncomfortable and all but impossible to walk across a room in, much less go out with friends to the mall window shopping or going for a long evening of “gurlz night out!”
Financially, I cannot afford the cost of custom made’s from Europe (hundreds-thousands of dollars each).
Can you help me find some basic Mary Jane flats, 3″ evening wear high heels and maybe a pair of thigh-high bitch boots with a heel strong enough to carry my “big girl” weight?
