The post about high heels got me thinking. Tall ladies must have larger feet or else they will fall right over right?

So -- What size are your feet AND where do you get your shoes?

Height 5 11"
Shoe Size: 13 (American)
Shoe Source - Nordstroms, Barefoottess.com, Zappos

Now you...

    Height: 5'11
    Shoe Size: 9 1/2 - 10 (American)

    I always thought I had big feet, but the more tall women I meet I realize I have pretty tiny feet for my height.

    I'm pretty much able to find shoes everywhere, but I do have a hard time finding 10's in stock. Places like DSW and Kohls tend to stock more smaller sizes than 10's. Aerosoles and Bandilino are my favorite dress shoes. Asics are my favorite for sneakers.

    Zappos.com for the most part, but I do look at Nordstrom Rack when I get there. I love that they carry large sizes, but I wish there were more wides.

    5'9" sz 11 shoe

    My favorite shoes are Naturalizer. Their heels fit my arch perfect every time. I can wear their heels without feeling like the balls of my feet are on fire.

    Recently discovered Nordstrom Rack. The most 11s I've ever seen in one store! They had larger sizes too. I will definitely be going back. It was so nice to actually try shoes on before I purchased. Ordering online gets old. I hate internet shopping.

    Height 6'
    Shoe size 12B

    If you need hiking boots and your size is > 11, you probably buy men's boots. Most men's boots are too wide for me. But I found a brand that makes narrow men's boots.

    These are my everyday shoes: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/asolo-fsn-95-gore-tex-hiking-boots-waterproof-for-men~p~72552/?filterString=s~asolo/&colorFamily=72

    I love these boots and I wear them every time I go walking!!! I will even wear them to a professional conference I am going to at the end of this month.

    Hi, I'm 5ft 10 ins and take a UK 8, which is a Euro 42 or a US 10. Till I lost weight I was a UK 9 ( EU 43, US 10.5). Now I'm an 8 I can get shoes in most shops. When I was a 9 I used to get them from Evans or new Look.

    LOL, when I started reading this thread, I thought for sure I'd have the smallest feet! :laugh: I'm 5'11", size 8 1/2 US, very narrow.

    And to the OP, yes, I have a terrible time balancing at yoga... I keep wishing I had longer and wider feet that matched my height better! A nice 10 US, regular width, perhaps.

    I'm 5'10", size 10 extra wide shoe. It sucks. I usually crunch my foot into a wide and hope for the best, but pretty much every shoe I have leaves marks on my feet.

    i must say that i have a shoe OBSESSION!

    I'm 5'11 and a size 11-12 (US)

    I've gotten a lot of great shoes from 9 West (especially the clearance section which by me always has an abundance of larger sizes - i just bought two pairs of beautiful summer wedges for $45), also love Nordstrom Rack. Payless is another one of my go-to stores

    6'1
    Size 13W

    I mostly get my shoes from Payless online but some of there stores do carry a small selection of shoes. If I'm able to spend more I go to shoes.com.

    I'm 6'1, and I wear a size 12w.
    I am a shoe freak lol, so when I do find a cute shoe in my size I hop on the opportunity. I usually get all my sexy shoes from torrid.com. I also shop at avenue.com for boots and sandals,roamans.com, payless I can sometimes find things before they are sold out lol, and zappos.com is my spot for workout shoes and nine west shoes. Torrid.com is my main spot though, all of their shoes are wide width!

    Mainly shop at Payless.com, their stores NEVER carry crap, have bought some from Zappos, Used to shop every now and then at Nordstrom Rack in Dallas, they would occasionally have a 13.

    Love being tall. HATE HAVING GIGANTIC FEET. :mad:

    Hi bumping for later, a lot of good stores to check out.

    I am 6'1 and always hated shoe shoping. I have 13 narrow/ regular but squeeze into 11s or 12 if I can't find anything bigger. Someone told me that when you lose weight your feet shrink, I hope so!

    Mine came down from an 12 to an 11 after I lost like 30lbs. I'm hoping my feet come down to a 10 when I'm done!

    YES! I used to be able to wear an 11 in some shoes before I had my son. Now that never happens. I need a 12 all the time now.

    I actually just found two pairs of women's size 12 shoes at Marshall's this weekend! I got a pair of Nike women's flip flips and a pair of Clarks in a size 12M!

    Height: 5'11'
    Shoe size: 12AA ( have a super narrow foot)

    6ft tall & a uk 7 (41 eur), my feet are so out of proprtion to my height but to be honest, I'm glad I don't have really big feet, with my height & built it would be just another thing for me to be too big for.

    Does anyone ever have luck at DSW finding size 12s? I can't ever find more than a pair or two.
    I was thinking of popping in there and checking anyways.

    I have atrocious balance. I'm 5'10" and wear an 8. I could probably get away with a 7 1/2 if my feet weren't fairly wide.
