Hihi Loli-babes, I have a question... does anyone have larger feet?
I'm a size 11, and have been droooooooling over Demonia shoes lately, but I'm scared of the sizing. I've been hearing that they run small... so, does anyone have any first-hand experience with their larger sizes? (Or with their sizes in general.)

I have a pair of shoes from Hot Topic that I'm pretty sure Demonia made (a platform two-strap maryjane pretty similar to their current Kera model), and they fit all right in 11s. I think I have a problem if the shoe is too narrow -- I have to order doc martens in UK 10 because the 9s are always too narrow.

Any experiences?

Size 10 over here! I think what they do is make the shoes a little wider for people with big feet. My boots are kinda roomy, but now the soles are flopping off. ^_^() I say go for it. It's very likely they'll fit.

I feel terrible for stealing the spotlight, but I just want to share my secret for smaller feet (no! Not binding!). I'm starting to get my shoes (sneakers n boots n such) in men's sizes. Instead of being a 10, I'm an 8 1/2. ^_^v

All of my Demonias fit pretty much the same (aside from the Ripshaws which have wider toe boxes). If you have a pair of Demonia mary janes that fit you in 11, then stick with the 11 since the Demonia mary janes seem to be the smallest/narrowest of the line. My Demonia-made Morbid Threads boots are all a little bit more roomy than the Demonia/MT mary janes I have in the same size.

EEEE!! i love that company. they have good sized shoes. they are uber cool, and good shoes (i had a pair that lasted about a year of 24/7 useage). so get them, they are so great!!! yup ::nods:: i agree with me.

Yee, thanks for the input, everyone...

I do love the company; the pair I have from them, though, is the Kera-style -- those huge, roundy-toe, platform maryjanes. So they wouldn't be as small as the more normal-looking maryjanes... I'm just frightened the others (I'm lusting after those Goblins, the Bat, and the Stars ones) will be narrower. (The platform maryjanes are soooooooooohhhh comfy!)

I just found a cheap used pair on ebay, so I'm gonna try to get those to make sure, before I snatch some Goblins. (No one steal them! ;)

Hee... I'd buy men's shoes, but I'm pretty much heels & maryjanes, and it's so hard to find men's styles. ^-~ I love my Doc boots, though. Pretty boots for huge feets!

Too many shoes. Head explody.

The Goblins are nice and wide, I'm a 10 with a kinda wide foot and the 10 fits me perfectly, even roomy since they have the bump toe feature

Hee! Thanks, I'm definitely going to buy them, then! (Once I recover from all the cute ebay stuff I'm buying... but I need the Bibles!)

It's was your post-link to the Jaded Minx site that made me start to lust over them in the first place. Thanks! ^-~

Heehee, I love all the Demonia shoes, so nifty. Now I just need to get my dad to buy the Crux shoes for me and my plans for world domination will be set into motion! Puahahaha! Between the loose socks and legwarmers I just got off ebay, Gunhed VHS from Amazon.com and cosplay for Ushicon, I am soooooo broke right now. :x

*weeps* Tell me about it... eBay is an EVIL, EVIL creation...

I'm always torn over some purchases... I half want to win my Tokyo Mew Mew plushies and half want to be outbid... waah, all five of them! ICHIGO! look at the cute little maid outfits (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=749&item=3105617709)... @_@ cute girl plushies... with colored hair... and kitty ears... in maid outfits... *dies*

World domination is always one pair of shoes away

I totaly sympathize, being a size 12. I can't find any mary janes that fit! Or granny boots, for that matter...:(

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

Actually, Demonia DOES make stuff up to women's 12 -- not all of the stores carry it, though, for whatever reason. Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1065&item=982153372) is one of the cheaper ebay stores I've found that routinely stocks them, although some webstores do, too. I need to get the Bat shoes in 11, after the Goblins... :p

I second machinegirl on Walmart! I found some killer strappy-platformy mjs there, for $10. Payless is also a good resource, but it depends on the season. Last year/two years ago, they had a lot of cutecute rounded maryjanes, even some with 4" platforms (!) but right now, that ugly off-white outside stitching is popular, which I think looks hideous. (Bowling shoes do not go with cute bows. >_<) Still, I've seen some nice plain shoes there, now.

A few years ago, I picked up a pair of platform MJs at WAL-MART of all places ins ize 11. They're so so comfy, the only thing is they have velcro straps. But they were $11, and have the grounded off toe and are fucking killer. Look there?
