Hi Rae-
Check this out...you have to scroll down down a bit...this will will get you at least close to right size no matter where you are in the world.

To be honest, like most charts and graphs, it confuses the hell out of me. All I know is that I wear a size 10-10-1/2, in mens' and can generally wear a 12 in womens' (US sizes), though I have shoes that are labeled from size 9 to size 14 that all seem to fit about the same. Go figure.
And thank you Marsha Ann and Cristine for the links. And, fwiw, I too love Payless Shoes. The manager of the local store keeps an eye out for me and lets me know if something I am about to buy is going to go on sale soon or gives me discounts on shoes she is planning to ship back. Honestly, if someone is in retail, it's all about the money, they don't care if you are wearing them yourself or whatever. But I do know the need for discretion as well.
Hugs...Joni Marie
And thank you

Shoes seem to be one of the hardest things for a girl to come by. If you are lucky enough to find them, they always seem to be overly expensive. I used to work with a GG who was about 6'2" and she had so much trouble trying to find anything, and that's without the need for any discretion on her part.
I'm very lucky in being blessed with small enough feet to wear regular women's sizes that I can find in every shoe store.

I knew there had to be at least one thing about you I didn't like.
I have to get a 12W & they only sometimes fit. And since breaking my toe last summer I can't wear anything bigger than a 1in heel.

Ouch! Karen, that's no fun, being limited to one inch heels. On the other hand my friend is limited to flats because of her height but she always looks fabulous.
I guess the toe is still giving you problems then?

Hi Girls,
Shoes, gotta love 'em but....
I usually buy shoes/boots with 2.75" to 3.25" heels since I'm 6' in stocking feet and I don't need any more height.
Online (sexyshoes.com, I think) I saw a pair of red patent (matches my new convertible) pumps with an ankle strap and 4" gold stiletto heals and I had to have them. So sexy and sooo cute! And they were available in my size: US12 (I wear a men's US10.5.)
The day the UPS guy delivered them I had to try them on right away. I'd been having a nice steak with my favorite Merlot to wash it down. I went upstairs and dressed up in my finest sexy outfit and put on my new shoes. And they fit!
After spending forever checking myself out in the full length bedroom mirror I decided to to go downstairs for another glass of wine. Funny how much an additional 3/4" of heel can affect your balance. I started down the stairs.
Suddenly I was airborne and came to a rough landing. I don't know how but I was on my back, head pointing toward the landing below and legs spread (in a very unladylike position) aimed upward the top step.
Luckily my stairs are carpet covered and I didn't suffer any real injury, but my back from my shoulders to my upper thigh were covered with deep purple "tiger stripes" for a week. The bruises are mostly gone now and it only hurts when I cough or laugh, LOL -OUCH!
Best,
Melody

I spent ages in search for a pair of Darcie boots! I'm size 10(uk). I got a pair in a size 9 in the end on Amazon. It's so annoying, there is so many awesome lady shoes out there - I might have to chop my toes off

Has anyone in the UK tried the shoes from http://www.louloushoes.co.uk/ ? They seem to have some reasonable styles. I wondered if anyone had tried them. I'm size 10 (44 European) and also quite wide. I did get some stuff from a CD place once but the quality is quite low. Lou Lou seems to be more quality with leather high heels. I'm not affiliated with them, just seeking opinions. Any thoughts?

I discovered this site, www.bananashoes.com and now I mostly buy my shoes there, 1 because they have my size and 2 because I don't have to try the shoes on in public (I know, I just feel more comfortable that way). Keep in mind they are more for sexy shoes but they also have some low heel options and very nice boots.

If you need a size ( like me then the Newlook online shop is excellent value have several pairs of heels, shoes and boots from them they are comfortable and durable.. Also the Big shoe boutique I got some gorgeous heels and I think that shop goes up to a 10 or even 11.

I am fortunate to be able to wear woman's 10-11 and have found fantastic buys at Penny's and occasionally Target. My legs are my best feature--you do not want to see the rest.y
April 9, 2013 4:52 AM BST
These were Penny's--$7.00!!!! For some reason they arecomfortable and I can walk fairly well in them.

They do look good!

I have bought size 13W several times from Shoebuy.com. The prices and selection are good, and the shipping is free, even if you have to return them.

i love my shoes and so wish i could walk in my killer heels
I also think my legs are my best feature seen as how i am a size 20/22 in clothing
