Tall girls: where do you actually find feminine shoes that fit for prom, graduation, holidays or parties?
Hi, I checked with the mods before posting this.
I’m a tall girl myself, and I wear a UK 11, around a US women’s 13. This is something I’ve struggled with for years, and honestly it feels like the problem has only got worse as I’ve got older and my foot size has grown.
For me, it’s especially hard to find feminine shoes that actually fit for things like prom, graduation, holidays, parties and other occasions. The hardest types to find are usually ballet flats, loafers, sandals and heels. Sometimes it’s not just about finding my size, it’s that once you get into bigger sizes the options can feel really limited, not that cute or just really expensive. Places like Long Tall Sally do have larger sizes, but a lot of the styles aren’t really my taste.
I also know quite a few girls and women who wear a UK size 8 and above, around a US women’s 10 and up, who seem to have the same issue, so I wanted to ask if anyone else here feels the same.
Where do you actually buy your shoes from? What kinds of shoes do you struggle to find most? Do you usually end up compromising on style, comfort, price or fit? And do occasions like prom, graduation, holidays or parties make the problem worse?
Would really love to hear other people’s experiences.
