I have big feet! Will I ever be able to wear skinny jeans and trainers?

Just that really....I have size 8 feet and always feel ridiculous If I try this look but I’m hoping maybe it’s because I have the wrong trainers! Have tried various converse styles and I look like a golf club, so I’m thinking maybe some Superga ones (or similar). Or will I look just as ridiculous? Has anyone else with big feet successfully pulled off this look and if so what trainers do you wear?

Size 9+ here. Honestly, your feet are going to be the same size regardless of what you wear, and noone other than you cares anyway.

It might help to ask yourself why you think large feet are actually a bad thing? Have you subconsciously soaked up society's sexist hooey about women needing to be small and dainty to be desirable?

Converse Dainty help on my size 8 trotters.

Size 9.5 feet here and I'm 5' 9. I'm fine with trainers (although have been called Sideshow Bob on occasion Hmm). I've just stopped sweating the small stuff, not much I can do about the size of my feet, although I have decided to do something about the size of my arse.

I have size 9 feet and wear Superga and New Balance with skinnies on occasion. Nobody cares Smile

Vans are great, Converse look like clown shoes on me. Try some Vans!

I find chunky trainers like Adidas Stan Smiths and Superstars (if they scuff, just wipe it off) make my feet look shorter, the slim styles make them worse. Personal preference. Hi tops may work well, perhaps some Skate Hi Vans? Will make the ankles look less skinny and ease the transition to the legs.

Supergas make my feet look smaller, I swear. It's the white rim around the bottom. I am size 6.5/7 but on the short side so feet are a bit large. I have blue metallic Supergas (bought them on Amazon) and they make me indescribably happy!
