Hi from Lincoln

Hi everyone.

New on here and new to the single life too.

I'm now in a position to explore something that I have wanted to for some time, and now I'm single again I'm looking forward to some heeled fun.

I hadn't realised how hard it was to get heels in my size, size 11, but no doubt you guys will advise me on my way.

Hi Dave and welcome, I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with your new found freedom, sorry can’t help you with the size 11, I’m only a women’s 5 so don’t have that problem, you’ll soon make many friends on here that I’m sure will be able to help, I’m in the midlands so not a million miles from you, do you like to get out and about in your heels, if you look in the guys section at Costa in boots you’ll see quite a bit of what I’m about, looking forward to more chats with you in due course.

   Regards Gaz

Dave, welcome to HHP. If you look through past threads there's a fair bit about getting larger sizes. I'm UK9 so on the cusp of what's available in the mainstream of heels.

At UK11 you have 3 main choices:

1: Fetish and CD/TV suppliers such as Alternative Footwear. Great if you want extreme stuff, less so if want everyday footwear. Take a look anyway as some of their stuff is pretty moderate.

2: Specialist big size suppliers. Magnus and Long Tall Sally are 2 well known ones. Possibly Evans if they are still around

3: Custom. Expensive. One fellow member highly recommends Jean Gaborit

Hi there Dave..

Welcome to the site...

Have you tried smaller size women's shoes at all.. I say this because if I get men's shoes I'm at least a size 11 but because of the shape of my feet - basically they kind of taper back from the big toe...I'm sure you really wanted to know that !!! - I can comfortably get into size 9 heels.. The more pointed nature of women's shoes seems to help a lot...that coupled with a wide fit option and you could be surprised at what sizes you can get away with.. Failing that Ebay is always a good place to get larger sizes..either pre-owned or new from China who always seem to offer large sizes quite cheaply.. I know you take a chance on quality but the ones I've got over the years have been good enough for the price...you do have to remember though that there will be a customs sticker on the outside stating what's in the parcel..!! Hope that helps

Steve

Welcome lincsdave, great to have you with us buddy....Yeah, it is so frustrating to find a pair of boots you like, only to see they are way too small or not offered in larger sizes.  Like Stevie says, sizing varies a great deal though, so don't be afraid to try on a slightly smaller pair.   Seems like you are starting a new chapter in your life, and it sounds like you plan on making heels a part of your life also, cool!  We are here to help and encourage you buddy....Don
