I wear a men’s 12 narrow or a women’s 14 regular. Because of this I exclusively buy men’s shoes, but the options that come in narrow are very limited. Also, I hate wearing men’s dress shoes at work. Right now my rotation is a black and white tennis shoe, a brown men’s loafer, and a couple pair of dr martins. I would love something a little cuter! I know there are websites that sell women’s shoes aimed at drag queens, but I would really like to try them on because shoes designed for men just don’t fit my feet well because I have a traditional female foot shape, my feet are just huge.

Yes I am very tall, yes I was assigned female at birth, I am taller than both my parents and wear bigger shoes than my dad

I have flat feet and overpronate so need something with a wide toe box. Wide shoes are way too big on my heels and won’t stay on. I’ve been wearing glycerins for years but my current pair is broken down and with my orthotics they’re just too tight.

I work at a shoe store and the only shoes we have in atm in my size (women’s 11) is an adrenaline gts, an addiction and a ghost. I did NOT like the ghost max when I tried it on. I’m also open to men’s shoes, but they tend to be too wide on my heel. But we have adrenaline, addiction, ghost, glycerin, and beast in my size. Any recommendations?

My 3rd bflat slide is stuck and there is so much spit in it that I’m playing exclusively on f side when I need to use third valve. I purchased this horn used and it’s the only stuck slide, I believe it’s bent. Typically I’d take it into the shop but it’s tech week for a pit orchestra I’m playing in. Is there any way I can get the spit out without removing the slide?

Yes I’m going to get the slide fixed when the musical is done, no I cannot hammer it out, I’ve tried but the issue is that it’s bent. I’ve been playing horn for 15 years and have never had this issue!
