Bra Guide

Clothing Guide

Our Footwear guide is based largely upon our experience supplying and fitting the Pleaser range of footwear, which has become extremely popular within the crossdressing community due to the availability of larger sizes and wider style choices.

One of the advantages we have found with Pleaser footwear is that many styles appear to be manufactured around a more standard UK male foot width rather than a traditionally narrow ladies fit. This can make them considerably more comfortable for many crossdressers and transgender clients.

Pleaser footwear normally displays sizes in:

* UK Sizes
* USA Sizes
* European Sizes

It is important to note that the USA conversion typically differs by three sizes rather than two when refering to ladies sizes.

For example:

* UK10 = USA13 = EU43
* UK11 = USA14 = EU44
* UK12 = USA15 = EU45
* UK13 = USA16 = EU46

This often catches people out, particularly when ordering online.

Width Still Matters

Whilst the sizing conversion provides an excellent starting point, comfort is still heavily influenced by:

* Shoe style
* Heel height
* Toe shape
* Width fitting
* Foot shape
* Material flexibility

For example, a pointed court shoe and an open-toe sandal may fit very differently despite both carrying exactly the same size label.

We would always recommend treating shoe sizes as a starting point and then refining your choice based upon comfort and fit.

Footwear Guide Final Thoughts

As someone who’s spent years helping clients find their perfect fit, I want to reassure you that all Pleaser USA shoes offered on our site are generally manufactured to a standard male width fitting. This means there’s no need to “size up” to accommodate your fit—just order your usual men’s size for the best result. If you’re unsure, I recommend choosing an open toe or strappy style, as these designs will comfortably accommodate a half size or more (especially since the Pleaser range does not come in half-sizes).
The softer PU finishes on many Pleaser shoes can be gently eased out using shoe stretchers if needed. When considering knee or thigh boots, please pay particular attention—not only do we need to fit your foot, but also your calf and thigh measurements. If you don’t see a size chart with the relevant dimensions on the product page, just email me at sophie@translife.uk and I’ll make sure you get the information you need.

Pro Tip: If between sizes, size up for comfort—especially for heels or pointed toes.
