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!

@Brittany:
I poked at that calculator and I was disappointed, too. I did not observe the calculator taking into account shoe-width or type, and there is no mention of the aforementioned variables in the notes surrounding the calculator that I saw. Women’s shoes run more narrow than men’s shoes. Men’s wides and men’s skater shoes tend to be beyond your normal women’s wide-widths. Incorrect width to one’s shoes can lead to foot-crushing torture, blisters, split toenails if you do not tread carefully (unless you paint your toenails or your toenails are very strong), bruising, feet that gradually assume the shape of your shoes, and your shoes needing replaced as soon as they’re comfortable. I’m sure all of those potential side-effects are common knowledge, though. Sizing normally depends upon the type of shoe you want. Brands can differ, too, so it’s always best if you can try the shoes on for a good fit.
As pertains to women’s regular and athletic shoes, the conversion in my experience is by one size. A size 10.5 Mens Regular US = 11.5 Women’s Wide-Widths US or thereabouts.
I’ve observed that for women’s dress shoes, the conversion tends to be by two sizes. A size 10.5 Mens Regular US = 12.5 Women’s Wide-Widths US.
How do I know? Personal experience. If your feet are men’s wides/skater, you will have more difficulty finding cute shoes. I should know since I tend to run 10.5 to 11 Men’s WIDE. If your size is within the regular men’s shoe selections, I can but envy your gamut of wide-widths selections without crushing pain. :]
