A beautiful pair of shoes or high heels can instantly make you feel more feminine and attractive.
But do you struggle to find stylish women’s shoes in your size?
In this article, I share my top places to shop for shoes for trans women and crossdressers – particularly if your feet are US women’s size 13 or larger!
How to convert between men’s and women’s shoe sizes
But first, let’s talk about how to convert between men’s and women’s shoe sizes. This actually varies a lot from country to country.
In the US and Australia, there’s approximately a 2 size difference between men’s and women’s shoes.
To find your women’s shoe size, simply add 2 sizes to your usual men’s shoe size. For example, a men’s US size 11 would be women’s US size 13.
If you are in the UK, Europe, or Asia, things are much easier since there’s no difference between men’s and women’s shoe sizes.
However, regardless of the size, keep in mind that men’s and women’s shoes are shaped slightly differently. Men’s shoes are usually wider at the heels.
For that reason, I always recommend trying on shoes before you buy them, rather than relying on the numerical size alone.
Now that you know your shoe size, let’s go shopping!
Long Tall Sally
The ultimate shopping destination for tall women, Long Tall Sally offers large size women’s shoes up to a US size 15. This UK based e-commerce site offers service and shipping within the US, UK, EU, and Australia.
Pleaser Shoes
While Pleaser Shoes prides itself on being the leader in sexy footwear, they offer a range of styles – from sexy to classic and pinup to goth. Most importantly, they offer women’s shoes up to a size 16.
Update: Our lovely reader Jolene has shared that with Pleasers, depending on the style of shoe, a trans woman or crossdresser may need to add THREE sizes to their male shoe size.
FSJ Shoes
FSJ Shoes is a China-based shoe manufacturer that offers a huge array of styles up to a size 15 US. Best of all, they also offer custom made shoes at affordable prices so you can make any shoe dream come true!
Zappos
Being the largest online shoe shop, it should come as no surprise that Zappos offers a wide range of shoes for women with big feet. Zappos also has a generous one-year return policy that includes free return shipping.
Amazon
Amazon has a surprising large selection of women’s shoes up to size 16, including pumps, flats, sandals, boots, and more. As an added bonus, many items are eligible for Prime delivery and free returns.
Payless
Who doesn’t love a good deal? While Payless only offers women’s shoes up to a size 13, they are a great option for affordable footwear if your feet are on the smaller side.
Ebay
Let’s not forget about good old eBay! Ebay has a huge selection of transgender and crossdressing shoes at some incredible bargains. The best part is that you can search for women’s shoes up to a size 19!

Lane Bryant also has great shoes for wider feet – up to size 12. Styles are great and quality is excellent.
I’m a size 10 (womens) should i get a wide women’s or medium?
Torrid’s online options are often bigger than in store. That being said, I wear a 10-11, but my feet are very narrow. There is a store called Off Broadway Shoes, that I have great luck in person at. (Even to the extent of customer service!)
I’m not sure if they have an online presence, but they are definitely worth looking for!
I hope you ladies are all able to find your dream shoes! <3

I buy all my heels from Leslie shoe company ! A lot of sizes go to 16 . I love wearing my heels , makes my legs look sexy . I have to pairs with 4&a half inch heels & 2 pairs of 5 inch heels.
I like ShoeBuy.com a lot because they have free shipping both ways, and a large selection. I have to go with 13-14 W, which is very hard to find. I appreciate the ability to return for no additional cost if the fit isn’t right.
I also tried Avenue.com recently. Got some fabulous buys on their clearance rack, and they actually fit quite well!
you might try Kathryn’s transgender site it has men’s shoes converted to women’s sizes.It has site like zappo and others some of the sites have broken treads others are still there.

glamourboutique.com has women’s shoes in sizes up to 15.
Avenue carries shoes up to 13, sometimes 14. They are usually all wide. When they are on clearance, it is really a bargain.
(Not all stores carry shoes.)
