my feet are so big. and it makes me SO SAD.

the only mary-jane like shoes (or really ANY CUTE shoes) I can find in my size are friggin TRANSVESTITE SHOES. I got a pair of sexy shoes, I looked them up online and their title actually WAS "crossdresser shoes". WTF. So apparently I AM A MAN. and of course, these shoes will make me like 4 or 5 inches taller. Yeay, JUST WHAT I WANTED! Sure it looks great on those cute little girls in the Gothic & Lolita Bibles, but guess what, they WANT to be taller! With their 6 inch platforms, I'm still taller than them barefoot. So not awesome. I'm going for cute and sweet, not "I WILL EAT YOUR BABIES". btw, Paris Hilton has the same foot size as me. Several websites describe her feet as "enormous". -_- but Paris Hilton doesn't care because she's famous and rich, and companies make shoes for her custom for free.

I did find these in my size (11), but sadly they are black and shiny.

I guess I will have to wear black shoes (with my pink and white dress)

all I wanted was a cute pair of pink or white shoes.
I would KILL to have something even remotely close to this:



or again, just ANYTHING CUTE AT ALL!!!! Only granny shoes and TRANNY shoes come in my size. you know all those adorable mary jane and trendy beaded shoes that are out right now? NONE OF THEM COME IN MY SIZE. Naturalizer is the only place, that eventually, got a beaded shoe in my size. if one more person links me to Electrique Boutique slut shoes I will scream. and yes, I know that Payless makes cute shoes that REALLY HURT MY FEET in my size.

I'm going to go drown myself now.

It might be a longshot and they're pricey, but have you tried www.fluevog.com?
They have some really cute shoes and their womens' sizes go up to 11 or 12 for many styles.
Found these in clearance:

have you scoped your nearby Payless shoes? :P They have some adorable mary-janes, it might be what you're looking for...? Anyways, I have the same size of feet as you (from the shoe size at least... i unno... different shoe makes, maybe.) and I think shoe size is all relative to your height ;) I don't know about Paris Hilton, but I'd use anything to talk about her behind her back. So don't put yourself down, hun! you're a beaut!

Same problem with boots - any decent pair usually has a huge heel on them when you don't want it. For other shoes, though I'm sure that somewhere along the line, it has been mentioned, www.hottopic.com and www.torrid.com have all sorts of shoes, boots, sandals, maryjanes in lots of sizes, and they get new ones online fairly often, too. My favorite boots were bought online with them. Hope it helps!

I'm a little over half a foot shorter than you and my feet probably scale. While sometimes I can squeeze into the kids shoes at Target... for other costumes I have to go to Transvestite sites too to find appropriate shoes (mostly boots) that fit. Usually the fashion district is no go because they don't go high enough and they size small to begin with. Do Transvestite sites not make cute shoes, only skanky ones?

Diffy's mom is my height as well but with your foot size. I think she must not have eaten well as a child and thus didn't get to grow as tall. Fortunately I think you're still under door height with the big heels and I think tall = elegant, not godzilla, especially for you.

At least 80% of cute is how you act. With your sewing powers and the fact that you want to frill it up, I think you'll have no problem. Your previous loli creations and the more-cute-than-elegant costumes have all been very cute.

As for shoes... I've often thought womens shoes are all about pain anyway :(

Did you try Zappos.com? I've been searching around for shoes on that site and don't know if they might have something for you there since they seem to have a big selection as well as free shipping. Also, Sketchers.com might have something since you were able to get those ballet flats from them in your size that one time.

Oh my GOOOOOD those are so cute! I really want one for me now! LOL Maybe I'll get something from here for my Elisabeth shoes! :D

Dude, I can't decide. They're all so cute and I know if they don't fit, they have an excellent return policy so you should definitely go with what you like the best. I think I like the first and the fourth ones the most.

Indeed, I am a 10.5 - 11 with long toes, so I can't wear heels because the arch is in the wrong place. I really want to hit up the Chicago tranny shops because at least I'll find a pair of boots to fit my fatty calves. ^^;; Last time I went shoe shopping I had to buy men's sneakers. T_T

But yeah, I did find a good pair of New Balance gym shoes on Zappos. They have a truly gigantic selection, and they have a habit of upping their free shipping to free two-day shipping. Plus they do free shipping on returns. :D

Aww. I think the fashion industry just hates anyone not in a certain range. The only person I know who doesn't have trouble finding clothes is a 5'3" size 2 friend of mine.

I have the opposite problem as you, but it's just as infuriating -- I'm a size 5. Most shoe styles start in 6 or 6.5 (unless they're European, for some reason).

So, I'll find a nice pair of shoes that I like very much, and OOPS, none for me, try the kid's section. But kids shoes aren't built nearly as sturdy as adult shoes are, and of course they're all very juvenile in style.

Trying to be helpful...

Found these at Hot Topic: http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=388419

They go up to size 10.5.... http://www.natashascafe.com/html/shoes/pink.html

I would also look at dance sites and stores, if you can find some Mary Janes without taps on them...

Right now I'm looking thorough Shopzilla.com though I'm not seeing anything, but that's not saying you might find something.

I KNOW YOUR PAIN!

Except my feet are also super narrow. This means that I can only find shoes in specialty catalogs or stores, because 11N is just ungodly freakish, as far as shoe companies are concerned. ^^

If you can find them, I recommend character shoes. Some pairs have a little bit of a heel, and they're not the most comfortable things in the world, but they're nice and generic looking and you can use them for everything. (my pair of white ones were used in my Belldandy battlesuit and later sacrificed for a costume that never happened.)

OMG, your "Hmmm" and "Let them eat cake!" drawings are SO CUTE!!! *squeals*

For the shoes . . . Maryland Square specializes in larger shoe sizes, and has a nice range of styles. Most of 'em are fairly conservative, but there are pink-and-gold fabric ballet slippers, and there are a few other possibilities:

http://www.marylandsquare.com/product.asp?family%5Fid=5938&cat%5Fid=123&type=3&parent%5Fid=119

I know that they're not EXACTLY what you're looking for, but some of the styles might be modifiable . . . I definitely second the recommendation for Fluevog, I have several pairs and I *love* them!!
