So earlier today, I went to a Bata store today with my aunt to get a new pair of shorts shoes for my daily usage to uni and stuff. I saw a cute black & purple one and asked for a size 10, and the guy there said "Sorry, this is women's shoes, no size 10" I ended up having to get a size 10 MEN's sports shoes instead!! But they are sooo ugly and bulky!!

So yeah..I have very big feet..and it's been a pain trying to find shoe that fit me!! I actually gave up on searching for shoes during high school & just stuck with sports shoes up till now. I've never been the girly kind & not really the clubbing/partying kind, so I was okie with not having pretty shoes or even heels (I am 5''9, so wearing heels would make me tower over people ).

But seriously?? Why doesn't shops cater to big feet girls?? I am sooo tired of having to wear sports shoes and men's shoes. I had to wear black leather shoes for presentations & had to get a pair from the men's department cuz I couldn't find one that fits me in the women's dept. I am not even looking for those pretty shoes or heels that only look good on petite girls, I just want decent flats or even Mary Jane shoes that are cute and not bulky like men's shoes.



Anyone here can tell me where I might be able to find shoes catering to girls with big feet in KL, especially like the one in the photo above??

I also need help in understanding this shoe size chart http://bata.com.my/orgbata/faces/jsp/stati...?articleid=1997 I know that the sizing is different for men and women's shoes, but how come Bata/Euro/UK have the same number for both men and women (except the smallest size)?? The measurement in cm and inches are the same too. Are they using the same number for both men and women, but the sizing is different?? Or is it only the US having two different measurement for men and women??

A guy here lol I think Princess recently introduced footwear for women with bigger feet, do check it out.

Pretty Fit @ Isetan KLCC carry shoes up to size 13. not sure if they still carry that brand thou.

do check out vincci n nose. they do have size 10, sometimes =)

i wear size 9, sometimes 9 1/2. i can understand how you feel. it's frustrating when you see a pair of heels you like and they dont have your size.

I think the more expensive shops like Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Marks & Spencers, etc would offer bigger shoe sizes because it's a western based company. (westerners are taller/bigger than asians)

I know someone who used to complain that she couldn't find shoes because she's a size 10 1/2, but she frequents Topshop because she could find her size there

It's too bad for u,totally understand,i'm not plus size shoes but plus sized body lol. For u,u can try the brands that slightly more pricey,clarks,scholl,nike,etc,well u get what i meant. I'm not surr if all the onesi mentioned got but many brands especially the western brands will have bigger sizes

I'm a size 10 and I can find plenty of shoes!
NOSE, VINCCI all have them, well, just need to see if they suits ur taste. some pre-order blogshops do offer up to size 43 (size 10/11)! u just have to look for them! good luck

Thanks for the tips guys!! I wonder though, when ya'll said size 10, do you mean US size 10?? Because I got that sports shoes from Bata which is size 10, it seems like Bata is following the UK sizing. I am UK size 10, but from that chart I posted above, it seems like I am US size 12 & Euro size 44-45?? i wanted to get a pair of cute velvet shoes online lately, size 43, but wasn't sure if they fit me...sigh..

u girls must be pretty tall

i dont know what Bata size is (link may be broken?). anyhow, have a look at this chart here

http://your-shoe-store.com/wp-content/uplo...sion-chart1.jpg.

speaking of buying shoes online, perhaps it is better if you state the length of your foot in cm/inches. sometimes, different companies have their own sizing.

if you're indeed a UK size 10, i think you can only get shoes from western based companies. 1 thing for sure, mark & spencer do carry shoes that size.

I think mostly is following the UK one.
as for the pre-order shoes, it's best to measure ur feet first (in width, length) and try to find ur size through the measurement chart they provide, and ask the seller if u have to take bigger size or not. cus normally pre-order size 42 is size 10, but for some designs have to take 43

I always go for the biggest size just to be on the safe side. Size 42 really = size 10?? Cuz from the bata chart and the chart posted above by someone else, size 10 (UK) actually = 45-45?



I definitely have to measure the length of my feet. Again, been measuring them a few times over the last few weeks, wasn't sure if they were accurate. I measured around 10 6/8 inches.



S?o i dug around different conversion charts and I guess they have different measurement for the same number. Some showed that size 43 = 10.8 inches, others put it as 11 1/6 inches

ya..different manufacturer different sizing... like those from china/korea/jap/taiwan mostly is smaller so need to take one size bigger than usual cus their cutting small the 42=10 is the china/asia countries one...

ain't guys' size 10 and girls' size 10 different? or the same?

I guess that's the confusing part. IF you are using US sizing, they are both different. But it seem if you follow the UK size 10, then both men & women's size number are the same, Euro sizing (30-40+) are the same for men and women too, according to my German friend.

Girl, u can go for Clarks

I had to save money and buy the expensive branded ones for the sake of my big feet -.- And yup, clarks = awesome and comfortable for me

Clarks huh..thanks for the one in 1U soon. I sure hope they have this http://clarks.my/products/womens-original/...o-black-leather

I guess it's harder for me to find shoes because I prefer Mary Janes (like the ones in the link) than heels or overly flashy shoes. I even avoid shoes that has very shiny surfaces and bright colours. My aim now is to find a comfy Mary Jane flats for daily office wear. So far I've only seen them online on JCPenny and I was tempted to order them..but the price after conversion is pretty steep >.<

some branded or u can order in online,can fit till size 45'' heel..and not very expensive..^^

So I went to 1U today to check out Clarks, Aldo, Nose, and Mark & Spencer. Mark & Spencer has very little choices. I found some nice flats at Clarks, but wow..I honestly never knew shoes could be so expensive They were like RM288 and some even go above RM300+!!! I already complained about how expensive my sports shoes were at RM68...But if I look for cheap shoes..they won't have my size... The headache...

If I have to fork out more than RM250+ for shoes..I think I'd rather get some formal office shoes instead of fancy or casual shoes >.< thinking of ordering them from the NYC spree thread or Kulshopper...

I share your pain, girl. But I managed to find size 42 shoes at Cotton On- those flats, but they are literally a pain to use because they don't support the body at all. Before that, I used to buy from Pedalworks (I'm 5'7" and wear a size 11-12 womens or 10.5 mens) as they cater from sizes 4 to 12, but the thing is, Pedalworks is in Singapore (I used to work in SG). The Cotton On shoes were sourced for in SG too. Not sure if Msia stocks Cotton on flats for sizes 40 and up...

I now only use one super versatile slipper made from Phylon (a kind of plastic i guess) and it's been with me for a couple of years or so. Sorry I forgot the brand, but it's usualy RM 16.90 and you can get it from Tesco or Carrefour


Edit: OH THE BRAND IS ASADI! SUUUUPER comfy, great for wide feet and has good grip on most surfaces

i feel u girl i prefer to shop my shoes online rather than goes to mall cause i know its very hard to find shoes larger than size 9 for women. and i feel ashamed too.i can feel the weird look from the seller whenever i ask for biggest size they have.but dont worry,we have less risk of knee problem in the future since out large foot can support enough of our weight

Erm..Mark & Spencer, and Debenhams with better designs...

I share your pain. have you been to the golden slipper outlet at amcorp mall? you can take the lrt until taman jaya, it is less than 5 minutes walking distance from there. it is on the first floor, if i'm not mistaken, a few doors away from watsons.

they carry their in house brand, golden slipper, which is locally made. their normal shoes can go up to size 9. then they have a small section for ladies who wear larger sizes up to size 13 - its not terribly exciting in terms of selection, but its quite practical and i can see that most of the shoes are for office and basic use. the pricing is about RM50.00 to RM100.00 for a pair of good shoes. my feet are a bit on the wide side, so where i can't wear vincci shoes (too narrow), i can just about fit into these shoes. for the price, the quality is fine. the soles have proper traction and support, so i did not slip in any of this shoes (i have slipped in some with flimsy heels from brands outlet, which is similar to cotton on)

i was quite happy to discover i can fit into a pair of size 9 basic black heels which were about 3 inches high and set on a nice platform, i bought them at about RM80-ish (this was a while ago so i can't really remember). they used to be quite precious and i rarely wore them, but now i wear them to work every other week.

i also wear size 10 and i really hate those looks from the sales ppl, they are like "u are a monster" =.= i get my shoes from Vincci (i dun really like them cuz their shoes cant tahan lama, wear frequently and within half a year you have to say good bye to them), Nose (a bit pricey for me so i only buy when they r having sales), Licci (at sunway pyramid same floor with asian avenue, and the good thing i like Licci is because if you are sure u will buy the shoe, they can use a tool to broaden the shoe a bit so your foot can fit better in it), a shop in BTS (they got sell pls size shoes for woman up to 11-13)

wish you good luck in ur shoe hunting

Thanks for the replies! I will check on the places that were recommended! Still having issues with finding proper flats for my size. Had a size 43 flats that was decent, except that it was narrow at the toes, I only wear them a few hours once a week, so I didn't mind... until today.. Big toe was bruised and painful for a few days, didn't thought anything bout it until when I was trimming the nail, plasma started oozing out non-stop. I am probably going to lose that nail (the largest toe too!). So I am reconsidering on whether to continue wearing the pair of shoes >.<

Really really need a pair of size 44 or US size 13 UK size 10 flats (or size 43 which are wider at the tip) bad. And the thing is they are only flats! I am not looking for heels or anything fancy, should be easy to find. But nooo.. still a huge pain to find any of them. Might be doomed to wear sport shoes for the rest of my life. T.T I was tempted to try buying online from the States.. but it's like RM300+ at least

I would like to suggest you to go to customize the shoes you like. You can tell the shoe maker which design do you like and ask him/her to make a bigger one.

Have you tried Staccato?
Otherwise I would shop online such as www.asos.com
Europe and american stores normally have larger sizes, plus the style you can get is much nicer!

I feel ur pain.. Cant really find my size at normal shops.. will have to just look at the cute shoes n heels n just walk away, bcoz i cant fit them..
But hey,i started to purchase shoes,heels online, as the sizes are according to western n Europe sizes , so can fit them..

Expensive though, trying to only get shoes that are RM100 and below... instead of RM200+

Check out Hawkeye in Jusco outlet. Now they carry larger size till 41 and sometimes but you have to check whether they have stocks or not. Price range from 40+ to 80+ if not wrong.

Another one is Princess http://www.princess.com.my
Recently I saw that they have nicer collections of high heels i think either sungai wang or the mall opposite of pwtc. good quality heels for plus size shoes cos i have few pairs that last for more than a year or two
price range from 60-200+

happened to found these

SO TRUE!! i went there with my friends!!
Even i tried it on! BIG enough!
from size 9 (UK7) to 13 (UK11)
The staff told me they are online now! My friends were so happy!
Did u see the latest newspaper on its booties and high heels! OMG!
Price is alright. RM80++ for flats. i remember the staff told me, the factory faces difficulties on making this large sizes. their hand is not big enough to hold the shoe. LOL!!!
Well done Princess.
By the way, their Large Size Collection is called. PRINCESS DELUXE. aint that luxury for big feet? =)
www.facebook.com/PrincessShoes.
u might even see the boss there too sometime. young man! like Korean LOL.

yes, i've been to their boutiques for couple of times and only recently they have younger design as new range. the latest collections are pretty up to date but quite high. i wish they have shorter heels cause the latest designs are quite nice.

Princess you say? I should check it out! Where is it located in PJ or KL? Though I am really only trying to find plain flats without all those fancy stuff >.<

Oh wait, they are at Tropicana city mall!. So gonna check it out

On a side note, I found a very good website that has very cheap shoes for all sizes

http://www.alonai.com/

The thing is that... the shipping price can end up being more expensive than the shoes themselves >.<

i think not all of the princess boutique have the latest collection or they just haven't update all because i saw the new collection either in Yaohan(oppostite of PWTC) or sungei wang or some other place which i forgot.. =.=|| and when i went tropicana last few weeks, it still have the older collections.

i have feww size 9 heel where i cant fit because my feet is too wide...anyone interested? I am willing to let go at a lower price..

You can check out this custom made shoe fb page. I am a big foot chick myself and always dying to wear those extremely cute heels and wedges. I went here and ordered 2 pairs of my own custom design shoes. But the tough part is that you have to pre order and wait untill a month for the owner to make your custom shoes. However the materials are quite comfy and high quality. They even put softer material for the inside sole for you. Price range for custom made shoes are 120 to 140, depends on the material.
Check her FB
Vintage Instinct Custom Made Shoes

RM120-140? Sounds like a decent price if the quality is good. Thanks!

Payless shoes, Paradigm? They go by US size.

Paradigm mall?? Will keep that in mind! THanks!!

Followed a friend to Paradigm mall, and I saw that they had until size 12 US.

http://www.payless.com/store/ Been there only once though, top floor.

And also quite nice, sexy heels.
