Shoes?
I wear a men's 13, so finding women's shoes is a major chore. I have a few pairs of heels, purchased on ebay, but where are the best places to find shoes? Thanks in advance!

Re: Shoes?
Your location says the Chicago area, you're in luck. My sweetie wears a woman's 12 and can find suitable styles at Payless. For larger sizes, look up Transformation's by Rori in Arlington Heights or Skyscraper Heels in Chicago.
You're looking for a size 15. Happy shopping!

Re: Shoes?
Eileen knows her stuff. Women sizes are a little difficult because of lack of consistency. Don't be afraid to try 14s or 14 1/2s. I know that even needing 11s limits my choices. Never fails, I ALWAYS FIND the CUTEST, sexiest heels in 9s and lower. Ross has been my goldmine but I've never seen anything over a 12 or occasional 13 there.

Re: Shoes?
Women's sizing drives me crazy.
I wear a size 12EEE or 13 men's shoe.
I have 2 pair of Steve Madden, 5 inch stilettos, woman's size 12 that fit perfectly. I have purchased heels at Payless in woman's size 12W and they fit perfectly, size 13 are a bit to big.
The only way to ensure shoes fit is to try them on in the store. I wear pantyhose and slip on shoes to make it easier for me.

In a world where you can be anything, be unapologetically fabulous in your high heels.

Re: Shoes?
Well you're not going to like to hear this, but the best place to buy shoes is in Bulgaria. I'm just returning from there now with a bag full of new shoes! 
They have great quality and styles for very reasonable prices. The trick of course is to make sure you're buying the genuine leather Bulgarian shoe and not a cheap chinese plastic one.
However, if you live near Chicago you are in luck. I got round trip tickets for $670 out of Chicago, but you have to be flexible on your schedule. Not counting the shopping I did, the whole trip was less than $1000. You will probably save $50 on average for each pair of shoes, so just buy 20 pair and then it's like getting a free trip to Europe.

Re: Shoes?
I wear a mens size 9.5 and most 11's womens fit me well and have found that boot sizes are a little more forgiving as I can fit in most 10.5's I love knee high or over the knee boots.
