I am a UK size 15 shoe Trans woman. To my knowledge no matter how hard I try, it's next to IMPOSSIBLE to find any shoes that would fit me, outside of men's shoes and boots. I would honestly LOVE some more feminine shoe options, but most places stop at size 10, certainly nowhere NEAR size 15... What do I do?!

i dont understand shoe industry, i can't find shoes that are big enough for me ever and i'm AFAB. who the fuck has such tiny feet that a store can have so many tiny shoes but literally none that fit me? it's weird...
anyway, pleaser shoes go up to 17 US, i thiiink that's equivalent to 15 UK? not 100% sure as I usually use actual foot length for sizing

i just heard about them recently and bought some shoes from them but they haven't arrived yet, hopefully they're good!
update: they're a bit too small for me width wise, i forgot how thin american shoes are. would probably go up a size but the shoe i got was sold out of the size higher than my usual. they'll probably be fine once stretched. the shoes themselves are good quality as well

This is terrible, but my cis/gay mother has complained about the same thing for years.
She always used to joke about the drag queens getting there before her. She wears US size 10.5

I don't know it's always upsetting when I try to go thrifting and nothing is bigger than an 8.5
Please enter a value between 4.5 and 12 .

Amazon was the only way I could find cute shoes that fit me. Also Nordstroms randomly.
There was a site called pretty big shoes too but I don't think they're UK based.

I hate how narrow stuff is. It might look weird, some barefoot shoes are comfy and not too masc. also crocs are great gender neutral, any shoe size.

Crocs and clogs in general seem like great gender neutral options. Super comfy too.

I feel your pain. My feet are US women's 9, but my feet are wide and most shoes are not. It hasn't been too bad though, my mother and grandmothers all had feet basically the same size, so I can just wear whatever they do.

My mother-in-law had large feet (like US men’s size 13) and shopped at drag queen stores for femme shoes.

I've found some luck on Amazon and I've found a bunch of cute heels and some flats that go up to size 50 (cn, I think similar to eu but I have to measure my foot length and compare to sizing table to be sure) on AliExpress but I haven't bought them yet. I really wish I could go shoe shopping in person though. I have quite large feet too.
Btw you may drop a shoe size on hrt so hopefully that'll happen for you
