Size 11 Feet

[Echoes]

Your feet DO continue to grow as you get older.

I would have thought that models had size 11 feet just because they are all so bloody talll.

^ So did I until I learned that Gisele wears like a size 6 or something >>

I think most model's feet around around 9 which is like the average shoe size. It's not fair. I should be much taller with feet this big.

Great idea for a thread.

Clothes, shoes, jeans, EVERYTHING: Designers need to realize that EVERY woman is DIFFERENT!

That's so unfair! How can 5'11 glamazons have size 9 feet? I'm not even 5'7 and i wear an 11! I demand a foot recall! Or at least give me another four inches on the top...

^ My best friend is 5'3 and has size 11 feet.

Sometimes, life just isn't fair.

Waaaaay!!
Does she look disproportionate, like she's wearing clown shoes? I feel disproportionate sometimes when i'm wearing flats

 

[cyberfruit]

Nah, not really. She's stocky (German/Irish) so it looks alright on her. I'm a lot more disproportionate and I'm 4 inches taller and skinnier.

im 5'11, have a size 10.5 or 11 foot so i guess im in proportion... but they just seem so bloody big and i feel like they look worse in flats... but im over it!!

 

[travis_nw8]

i remember reading famke janssen had size eleven feet....

 

[Shoe_Whore]

i have size eleven feet too! i can sometimes get a ten depending on the style, but i always get sore feet no matter how well they fit to begin with, i hope my feet have stopped growing!

Chloé has up to a size 42, and I am a true 41 and do fit in the Prince boots. However, the Prince pumps I bought are too small. And I do look rediculous in flats, since I am very thin, with huge feet. Looks awfull. How do you feel about flats?

Does anyone else here find European sizes scary? I bought a pair of some cute flat boots in Spain. I asked for a 40 but that was WAY too small (didn't know US/European sizing at the time) so I asked for 42 or 43 but the lady gave me a weird look and brought a 41 (Which is an European sized 11, right?). The boot was snug but they were cheap and I really wanted them so I bought them.

I shouldn't have. I can't wear socks with them and if I wear them barefooted, my big toes hurt. Am I more of a 42 or 43? I guess I should be more aware next time.

Until a couple of years ago, US10=Euro41 was the rule. Now they're squinching on sizes, and calling Euro40 a 10. 'Tain't so!
And then there's the matter of width, which is even worse, since few offer a choice.
The ultimate insult is "full sizes only"!!!

^ That's so lame.

But Europe has so many cute shoes ><.

I am 5'11 3/4 tall and wear a size 11. I buy Chanel size 42 and Gucci size 11. I've found those brands the most accomodating for my size and that probablly relates to why those are my fav bags to buy also. Nine West shoes fit great in size 11, not as snug as the Chanel and Gucci. Prada and Dolce don't go past 41 which I find a bit too small (I have a 41 Prada for sale on ebay right now because my heel hung over the back of the shoe). I have seen Manolo in size 42 and up. Open toe sandals are easier but in boots many peope like to go up a size...and well at an 11 you don't usually have that option. I do have Chanel and Gucci boots but I had to work them out a while with a shoe stretcher before starting to wear them. I have bought Linea Paolo from Nordstrom which has some cute shoes in 11s and 12s. I buy shoes from Victorias Secret catalog (lots of fashionable 11s), zappos.com, Nordstroms, Chanel boutiques, Neimans, Saks online (Saks online often has different styles of Gucci shoes that Gucci does not have in their store or website....they have some kind of arrangement per my sales rep.) and my last source is Ebay. I bought a pair of Guccissima boots and quilted Chanel boots on ebay at a fraction of the cost that they were in the stores. I have ebay set up to send me an email notice anytime a size 42 or 11 shoe is listed in a brand that I like. You have some people who buy them on sale and then list them on ebay, some people who appear to be buying them at their employee discount and listing them, and also people like me who bought shoes (as we often have to do if we see something we like because 11s go quickly so you have to buy them and figure out if you really want to keep them later) and then realize they never wear them and put them up for sale.

another size 11er......im glad i found this thread! Flats look odd....heels work and so i must wear them everyday but I dont mind......

 

[fashion_love]

I have size 9.0 (40), but I need one size bigger in heels. I think my size is okay, I find shoes in this size, but my friend has also size 11 and she has big problems at finding shoes.

 

[BlkLadyLaw]

if any one is looking, there are some cute Chanel shoes in size 41 at ebay 7764460464 and black Gucci Guccissima boots in size 11 at 7764613534
