Shoe thread

[Anonymous No.7564336]

Starting a general shoe thread, and seeking personal shoe-finding assistance

I need a pair like pic related for easily removable summer shoes. Unfortunately while this style used to be everywhere 5-10 years ago, now I can only find wicker wedges with buckled ankle straps, not the tied strap.

Pic related is perfect, but the problem? 1: they're 150$, 2: they cap out at sz 9.5, and I'm a 12 but can swing an 11 in sandals.

Obvs already tried google. Tried "tie wedge shoes" and "espadrille wedges" among a handful of other search terms.

[Anonymous No.7564338]

These would also be perfect in style, price, and size if it weren't for the goddamn print.

holy SHIT, how tall are you?

[Anonymous No.7564476]

>>7564357
I can't speak for OP, but I've met quite a few people who are in the 11-13 range. Generally they're on the tall side but not always like, 6 foo + or something.

Some people are just big footed.My grandma wore a 13AA(Basically she had really narrow feet). She had to get all her shoes custom sized. I wear about a 10, and I'm getting the swollen foot stage of my pregnancy and I get to look forward to my feet growing even more. Apparently the average is half a shoe size but it could grow more.

[Anonymous No.7564625]

Does anybody know where I could buy the shoes in pic related in US size 6? They're called Simple Minds by the UK brand Office and I have legit been looking for them on eBay for over a year. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on them? I don't want anything similar unless it's reeeeeeeeeeally similar.

[Anonymous No.7564633]

probably you've heard this a lot but... tall gulls how do you manage wearing qt platforms and heels without dwarfing everyone? wearing flats ruins all of my cords

[Anonymous No.7564642]

Could someone help me with Japanese shoe sizing? I'm always so confused with it and I've been wanting to buy brand shoes for a while but I don't have the opportunity to be able to try any on. My feet measure like 25cm but sometimes I see people selling brand shoes that are a 24.5 saying that they fit a European size 39 and all of my normal shoes are that size so would I be able to fit Japanese 24.5 shoes?

[Anonymous No.7564645]

>>7564642
Look up a shoe size chart like this.
Japanese sizing is traditionally different from standard cm sizing. I think most brands go by actual cm sizing, but I could be wrong.

[Anonymous No.7564657]

>>7564645
I have but it still doesn't ease my mind since I've seen different reports about different brands shoe size. But I'll probably just go ahead and buy a 24.5 shoe and resell it if it doesn't fit.

[Anonymous No.7564663]

>>7564633
Personally, I don't. Mostly because I'm Asian and any heels puts me over 6'0" and I think it looks ugly on me.

[Anonymous No.7564741]

>>7564633
I just go ahead and dwarf everyone. I'm 5'10 so I honestly have no business wearing heels in lolita, but I have gross yaoi feet and heels higher than three inches seem to be the only way that I can minimize how disproportionately huge they look.

Just embrace inner amazon anon.

You don't. You either stick to shorter heels or you embrace the tall and become the Amazon you were born to be.

I'm strapping in for this thread

[Anonymous No.7564894]

>>7564645
I'm so confused by this chart. Does the 'centimeters' row refer to the size of the foot or the size of the shoe? My feet measure 235mm exactly and I've always worn European size 37 or 37.5, yet this chart says 235mm = size 36?

Also do they not have small shoes in Mexico or what is going on there

[Anonymous No.7564919]

>>7564894
Probably the size of the shoe, which is generally a bit bigger than your foot. I'm also 235mm and a European 37.
This is the shoe size chart I always use, as it's the only one that lines up for me for European, US, and Japanese sizes.

[Anonymous No.7565049]

>>7564357
Either 5'10" or 5'11". My ID says 5'10" but that's how tall I was 10 years ago.

>>7564492
Also this. All the women in my family had long, narrow feet (the narrow usually goes along with the higher shoe size). My mom and grandma were both 10 though.

I think people in general are getting larger. My neighbor is an 11 and I know several 10s, yet my mom and grandma always told me 10s used to be impossible to find.

12s still aren't easy. I'm limited to Pleaser and its offshoots (so basically stripper shoes made larger for drag queens) if I want anything that isn't in the $100+ range.

>>7564633
Roll with it. There's nothing wrong with being the tall one. I'm not a loli so I can't really speak for any meetup experience, but due to having a ridiculously high arch it's physically impossible for me to comfortably wear flat shoes so I regularly have to dwarf everyone wherever I go. I've gotten so used to it, my go-to boots of choice put me over 6ft and I don't even care.

I'm not exactly a giant but all my friends are tiny while I'm taller than the the average and... not exactly an amazon. I have a babyish face and body so I pretty much look weird and stretched haha. I'll try a pair of medium heels.

[Anonymous No.7565153]

I remember reading in another thread that it's pretty much impossible to keep the straps up like in the pictures, you have to tie them around your ankles and tuck the ends in like ballet shoes.

Would spirit gum or sock glue help?

Not sure if it would gunk up the socks underneath, though.

I have Melissa wedges so I'm not sure if the same would apply, but they seem to fit pretty true to size. They may not fit, and I don't think they can really be stretched (unless the bag of water in the freezer trick works)

Fashion tape is your friend. I use to buy sock glue but it's messy and sticky. Fashion tape is essentially double sided tape and I use it to hold up my socks. No reason why it couldn't be used for this.

[Anonymous No.7565653]

Does it not make the socks go bobbly faster though? I'd be worried about that happening over time.

That's fairly normal. You're the same height and shoe size as my mom, and her feet look totally proportional.
Personally, I'm 5'3" and a 6.5, so I'm having the hardest time picturing the anon above who is shorter than me with significantly larger feet....

They're not the exact shoes, the only difference is the color of the design. You also have to order them through a shopping service, which can be a bit pricey, when I bought them my total was a little over $60.

I ordered a pair of shoes from Dear Lenore/Lenore or whatever on April 19th.
She emailed me and let me know they would be finished on the 23rd and sent out in time for my convention date of May 15th.
Con has come and gone.
No, Fuckin'. Cute-ass. Shoes. Motherfucker.
Had them planned out for my coord.

STILL WAITIN'.

Yeeeeah, I'm not going to buy from or advocate for Lenore at all or ever again.
I would have bought off LM, but I couldn't find any in my size at the time.
