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 am lucky.I wear a USA women’s size 10 shoe. I buy my shoes from a variety of places. I have been purchasing my shoes from online fashion store Fashion Nova lately their prices are really good especially when they have sales.
“I always recommend trying on shoes before you buy them, rather than relying on the numerical size alone.”
This.
We can’t ignore that all shoe sizes are still arbitrary, except those marked in millimeters, but not too many manufacturers do that, so far. The problem is that I haven’t bought any shoes by length like that because I have a nerve problem exacerbated by a narrow toe box. I have to try on shoes first, therefore I don’t know how well length sizing works.
Take Payless off the list as they are no longer in business. Without any doubt Amazon is your absolute best bet. If they don’t fit properly you can always send them back.
I’m lucky to take a size 6.5 UK heel
I am blessed that I have a variety of size 9.5 women’s heels… my go to store is Macy’s.
I haven’t spent more than $35 on quality heels on sale lol..
I prefer barefoot whenever possible but my best 2 finds were both online thru Demonia. They were skinny tho and I have a wide foot. But the pain was worth it.
I shop at Onlymaker and Up2Step for larger sizes. Unfortunately I wear size 13 women’s, but they have some cute 5 inch heels!
Thanks Lucille for the suggestions.
I guess I’m lucky I wear a woman’s size 10 except Steve Madden and Aldo..a size 11 cause they run small
