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!

I love love wearing heels.
I also tend to wear open toe saddles for that everyday look. But heels with stocking is a must.
Where can I sell a bunch of beautiful shoes . Sizes 9 and 10. Were my father’s. HARDLY EVER WORN.. not even a scuff on the soles..
You could try Ebay or Poshmark. Good luck!
As a person who is about to begin my transition to being a female, finding shoes is going to be really hard for me given I wear size 16 mens shoes. I highly doubt that, apart form having them custom made, I’m going to find shoes that will fit me.
Stephania, give Ebay a try. You can search for women’s shoes up to a size 19!
Long Tall Sally is sadly going out of business. They took over Barefoot Tess which was the absolute best. Long Tall Sally never had the selection that BT did, but they were my last place to find non-fetish shoes in a size 14. After 36 years of this I have learned to snatch up everything I can afford in my size right away.
Long Tail Sally has announced their relaunch, so hopefully they will release some great new collections soon!
Fingers crossed because I still have t found anything that works for me.
I have found fsj shoes to be an excellent place to purchase women’s shoes since they make them from scratch and you can order custom shoes of all types and styles.
Check them out…
Thanks for the great recommendation! I’ve added it to the list.
It can be so disappointing when it comes to shoe styles. I just love women’s shoes but it is difficult to find my size. Ordering off the internet you can’t try them on. Sometimes I see cute styles and then when I find it in larger sizes they look super clunky. I prefer the classic pump with a medium to low heel and rounded toe. I found a pair from Payless shoes, I think it was a Comfort Plus that I really liked and they were comfortable, but the style changed and they weren’t the same. I don’t have a shoe picture.
Hi girls I’m Ambermaria one of my woman coworkers told me to go to dsw shoe store for heels and pumps. Omg they have sizes up to 13 so now I can’t wait for them to reopen. So sad that they are closed during these ruff times we are going thru .at least I can still get dressed at home .do my makeup and be happy being the woman I ALWAYS wanted to 3
Thank you Ambermaria for passing on the information. I looked online…they have cute styles. Stay safe!
Hey, I’m a 79 year old female with a super wide foot (Man’s 9 W). I need something for dress up and dancing. I can wear loafers or deck shoes for casual. I hate “old-lady shoes.” I’m just not a Cinderella! But I still want to feel like one
Hi Carolyn. Sorry if this is a bit late for you, I know it has been a while since you posted!I have struggled to find shoes in my size. I transgendered from mtf and have UK Size 11 in mens shoes. I found a great website called http://www.naughtylittlething.com, based in the UK. They do the glam styles which I really love, like stillettos and strappy low heel pumps in stunning colours. I’ve got quite a few from them. Definitely advise to take a peek!

Wow…you have an amazing collection of very sexy shoes. So fun too.
These are all nice stores but my wife, 6′ size 15 women’s shoe, needs shoes that are flat and blendable. These are more fetish styles. Let’s get real, not everyone who is mtf wants 4 inch heels.
Joy Gill. Where do your wife find shoes ? I have big wide feet and can never find any that fit me. I useualy have to buy and wear mens shoes
