purplespider Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 I am started to get so frustrated at how hard it is for me to find decent shoes in my size (UK13 (US 13.5)) that I thought I'd start a poll to find out if I really am in a small minority of people. The sizes are in US shoe sizes to make things easier, you can use THIS chart to convert your size. Just choose the closest size for you if you are a 1/2 size. Really interested in the results! Cheers James
TweezerMan Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 When I used to sell shoes (over 20 years ago), anything over size 12 was rare.
j2k4b Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 I wore a 10 when I was in high school. 12 years later I wear a 9.
bellringr Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 You didn't differentiate between mens and womens (a men's 10 is not the same size as a woman's 10). Which, by the way, is the size I wear (woman's, that is) My husband wears 13.5WW and has to go to a store like Red Wing to find dress shoes. They cost over $100, but he only needs one pair and they last several years.
TCH-Bruce Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Shrinking feet??? I've worn the same size shoe for over 35 years. You might want to take a look a Mason shoes too. They have the larger sizes as well.
marie b. Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Shrinking feet???<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Feet can shrink when you lose weight, like in my case.
Head Guru Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I wear a size 14 Dress Shoe and mostly a size 15 in sneakers.
Deverill Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 To be precise I wear a 13.5 EEEE - really wide feet and very high instep. Usually end up with 14 sneakers when I can find them and try not to wear dress shoes.. because of how my feet roll outward when I step they are usually painful. The bad thing is that a podiatrist told me years ago to get something I like the look and price of and not expect to wear it for more than 3 months - but it's hard to find that size, especially here in Key West, and the mail orders are usually expensive. But then again, I'm from Kentucky so even at the office I'm barefoot/socks-only most of the time.
purplespider Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 I wear a size 14 Dress Shoe and mostly a size 15 in sneakers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well at least I'm not the only one here with big feet! I don't feel so out of place now. So do you still find it a problem to find big shoes over in the States Bill? I have to get all my shoes mail order. Trying to find a pair of SPD cycling shoes at the moment, but having terrible trouble, just discovered that the Shimano UK importer only goes up to EU 48, I'm a 49!
Samrc Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I have finally gotten into a women's 7 (for the width) but they are a bit long. One nice thing is if someone steps on my "toe", they get shoe only, not my actual toes! Another vote for Mason's shoes (in Wisconsin).
Head Guru Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I was once told about a old wives tale about the size of your feet in relation to .... well nevermind
Bunni Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Yeah, something about size of your feet in relation to your appetite, isn't it?
TCH-RobertM Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Dang Bill, I believe Bunni hit it right on the head of the nail.... How much was that Taco Bell dinner next morning and tiny feet

kellybellydotnet Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I answered US 6, as that is my shoe size in men's sizes. I wear anywhere from a size 7.5 to 8.5 in women's sizes.

Cheers James <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wear a 5 wimmins and it's really hard to compete with the kids for decient shoes. UK size is 35/36
Head Guru Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Yes Robert you and I alone ate $43.00 worth of Taco Bell. I for one am proud of that. I do not think there are many people that can claim such a true fact. Bill
TCH-RobertM Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 All I know is my feet were not hurting the next day after all that one thing for sure I did not run out of Gas driving from MI to Kansas City the next morning at 9am
Head Guru Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Now hold on. Robert and myself ate $43.00 worth of taco bell.

TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Now hold on. Robert and myself ate $43.00 worth of taco bell. That's not how I read it the first time!
TCH-RobertM Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Bruce the real breakdown was the 12 sodas that came with all those vaulue meals. I was soda logged and the food breakdown was more like 40 3 Bill 40 and me 3 its a wonder what $3.00 will get you at Taco Bell
TCH-Bruce Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Robert, you got ripped off. They have free refills!
OldTimer Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I wear a size 14 Dress Shoe and mostly a size 15 in sneakers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Proof that there is a "BigFoot" Greg
Bunni Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I'm just amazed.... I didn't think 2 people could eat $43.00 worth of food at Taco Bell! That's a lot of food! Oh ummm.... and that's a lot of gas...
