Laura asks…
Men and woman shoe sizes?
Can somebody PLEASE tell how much difference there is, between men and woman shoe sizes. If I wear a size 6.5, then what size mens shoe would I wear??? I need the EXACT difference. Thank you! Please let me know how you know this, for sure.
Our pick of the answers:
The difference is 2 sizes. A man's size 11 is a woman's size 13. Regular width for a man's shoe is a wide width for a women's shoe. You will have a hard time finding a men's size 4.5 shoe... Maybe in a child's section... You might try going to a shoe store and having your foot measured. You can find a size omparison chart here: http://www.sexyshoes.com I had a Lady friend who was as tall as I am, 6'1" who was exactly my size minus a few pounds. She once challenged me to walk a mile in her shoes, and I did... 4" heels... Around the house. Her shoes were wide width, size 13, from The Leslie Shoe Company, who runs the site I mentioned. She later complained I "stretched out" her shoes... I still have the pair, in the dim dark recesses of my closet... They DID come in handy for a dress-up Halloween party a couple of years ago...
Sharon asks…
What style shoe should women with large feet wear?
size 9, 10 and up ... I think that long pointed toes don't look good on larger feet... do women with larger feet look better in flats or heels? Do boots suit large feet? (fashion student)
Our pick of the answers:
Heeled Shoes vs. Flat Shoes While high heels may not be as good for your feet or body, they will make your feet look smaller. The good news is that chunky heels and wedges usually accomplish this better than stiletto heels, and they're typically much easier to wear. The heel height doesn't factor in quite as much on men's shoes, since there isn't that much of a variance, but typically styles that show just a hint of sole around the upper of the shoe will make your feet look shorter. Round Toes Instead of Pointy Toes Pointy toed shoes can make even the daintiest of feet appear long. Since they're usually very close-fitting, they also make the foot look thinner. Narrow shoe styles might be a good thing if you think your feet look too wide, but if it's the length of your feet that is keeping you up at night, you definitely want to steer clear of slim shoes with pointy toes. The same goes for guys, so bicycle toes should be avoided. Dark Colored Shoes Shoes in darker colors will make your feet appear smaller than shoes in light or pastel shades, but don't feel like you just have to stick to black. In addition to darker earth tones and grays, deeper versions of red, blue, purple and green will serve you better than their lighter-toned counterparts. Avoid Skimpy Sandals A strappy sandal that exposes a lot of the foot will make anyone's foot look larger, but showing a little bit of your foot can work to your advantage. To break the monotony of just wearing closed shoes, women can try peep-toes, D'Orsays or sling-backs. Closed Shoes for Men and Women As a general rule for closed shoes, the more material there is on top of your foot, the longer your foot will appear. A style with an opening that is closer to the toes will not look as big as a shoe in which the foot opening is very close to the front of your leg. Accents Make Big Feet Look Smaller For women, bows, buckles, lace overlays, and kiltie detailing will make feet appear more petite, and guys who want their dogs to look smaller should check out shoes with tassels, and straps that cross the shoe closer to the toes than the leg.
