Hi Joak,
I asked this question in your forums page but I'll ask it here also for the benefit of other members too.
You are a UK12 (46 EUR) from what you say on your website - what size does this translate to in China Standard Sizing?
BTW I still have had no reply to my e-mail to 6in Heels forever, I will give it a couple more days and try again.
Very nice choice of design for the boots (as they took your design and have decided to produce it for anyone who wants it surely you are due some king of royalty - perhaps another pair or two of custom shoes or boots :rofl: )

I was told by them in an email that you double the amount of cms re your foot, then minus ten, and you will have your Chinese Standard size. Problem is, they've reworked their size chart to show the larger sizes, and I've found some things wrong there. Example They say USMen's 13 is the same as Euro47. Well, from personal experience I know that USAMen's13 is Euro46, not 7. As I've said, I'm on the borderline anyway. Hell, it's a bit hard for me to find so-called regular men's shoes, let alone heels.

I've done a bit of emailing them myself. Not as thorough as the above, but I did ask them to extend their size charts a bit.

As for not getting any reply from them, I think the thought of many men being interested in heels scared them. I noticed that after my first response from them that they had put some ugly military type shoes right below those men's heels, as a sort of defence I guess.

I don't know if this was in direct response to my mail to them the other day (no reply as of yet!!) but they have amended the size chart to reflect sizes up to China Standard 50, which should cover most of us.

Oops Dandy - didnt read your posting thoroughly enough to see youve already mentioned the larger sizes.

I dont see why they should be worried about men ordering heels - they must know that the extreme larger sizes would cater to males (i dont think that there would be that many women with Sz16 (US) feet.

I've emailed them several times, and I've gotten different answers each time regarding size availability.

I would just like to get an oxford with a decent heel, like the "men's heels" they have there. Then one of those JLO type boots would be great.

I've noticed before that it seems to be far easier to get fetishe heels in larger sizes than it is to get heels for men even with availability in not-so-large sizes. I'm not looking for those all metal heels, at least not yet!!

I was looking through the Womens Fashions Section and came across these:

(model number AO4LC087B)

I havent seen any Trainer (sneaker) type mules that go anwhere near this size before (US14 UK 11.5 / 12)

I quite fancy those as i have a particular liing for closed toe mules.

DandyDude · 19th April 2004, 01:51

Well, as I said, I'm only able to find fetishe type things in my size. That or those ugly flat things on that site. I wonder how high the heels are on those western boots.

Barney,

How are you doing with ordering the boots?

I like the fact that his website says to send him a picture of any shoe and he'll make it in any size and heel height from 10 cm on up we want.

That's not a bad deal for $120!

Has anyone successfully purchased a pair of shoes from these people?

The method of getting money to China seems pretty tortuous.

I heartily welcome the arrival (at last) of some non-fetishy high heels for men!

My one possible concern is about their width. Although they are only small photographs, the width-to-length of foot ratio appears to me to make the width very narrow indeed across the widest part of the foot.

For wide-foots like me (or even normal-footed guys) it looks to me as if the widths could be far too narrow, possible fitting only long, very narrow feet.

But instead of putting anyone off ordering (heaven forbid!), could I just suggest the precaution, when stating your size, of also giving the Chinese suppliers the widest width of your foot in centimetres, to ensure that their shoes are of matching width.

Cheerfully yours, Heelfan
