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 recommend DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse). They have excellent prices and decent website and app as well as decent size brick and mortar stores for the more adventurous ladies. They go up too size 16 in women’s shoes and the selection does change monthly so it a nice one to keep on the radar especially if your not in any rush for the just right pair of shoes.
Hi, my problem is the width! I’m a men’s 13 wide, what size women’s shoes will fit me? Standard women’s 15 are way too tight!!
Just like in men’s shoes, you have to go to ##W with W meaning wide variant. Women’s shoes tend to be crafted slimmer on the whole. So if you just barely fit men’s width wise, will need to go wide in Women’s. Also be aware that many manufactures will have varying ‘standard’ widths as well so it will still be some trial and error to find shoes that fit right.
I have an additional problem in that I need a 13 W or WW width. I’ve gotten 3 pairs of shoes from Torrid, 2 adorable pairs of booties and a lovely pair of sandals. They don’t have a large selection of shoes/boots, but at least I’ve been able to get some nice looking things that fit
Another great post. I have found some wonderful shoes on eBay but of course it take diligence and is hit or miss. Part of the hardest thing is to convert from American sizes to European and them making sure that the supplier gets the size you really need. I suggest Googling a crossover chart to check on sizes and to always as the supplier if the shoe “runs” small or large.
Finding Affordable flats and Sandals in a size 13 (Mens) / 14.5 (Womens) is definitely difficult… I’ve found some on Wish/EBay … not WISH I could find a cute/sexy pair of Sandals (Without a huge heel!)…
I loved payless. the majority of my shoes came from there. Since i wear 13/14, I have a hard time getting “normal” shoes. Most shoes that size look like stripper shoes. I do shop on Amazon and there are a lot of nice choices. from Onlymaker, snaz75, Richealnana, Pleaser or Ellie .
je préfère les acheter en magasin , les essayer sur place c’est mieux
