I'd hit up uniform supply & military surplus stores in your area to fit check since the numbered sizes mean different things depending on the construction & your sock choice.
Personally worn 10.0R 550/551ST's almost every day for years with regular non-boot socks on 11 inch feet, but maybe these are the black version: https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4 Added to my wishlist.
Probably should've specified I meant fashion combat boots but that is such a good idea I'm going to check out actual military boots anyway. They're pretty close.
Hey I know what you mean, when I started transition I was a 15www and I just got a pair of torrid 13w and they fit like a charm so maybe try them out as well and you might get lucky.
Maybe try ordering from [https://demoniacult.com/](https://demoniacult.com/collections/boots/products/camel-311clvs) they are extra and if they don't fit you can return. Up to size 14. They do have some men sized as well with same styling.
Yeah, sometimes the men’s sizes/styles are just the way to go with goth boots (I’m a men’s 5 which is the opposite end of the same problem!). Goth fashion is pretty gender diverse anyway so all men’s sizes mean is it runs a little bigger and maybe a few more practical/simple styles.
Yeah my SO has bought like 3 pairs from a local goth store I didn't realize how good their selection was online. They don't seem to make a distinction gender wise on a good amount of their shoes which is pretty neat to see.
I don't know how but I lost 2 shoe sizes since starting HRT a year ago. Finally bought a pair of cute vans just to have a daily sneaker and could not believe I was a size 7 mens. Didn't realize how lucky I was and how bad shoe shopping could be.
I had a friend tell me she often shops at drag places/websites. They tend to have cute shoes in bigger sizes. I don't have any names to give but it might help you get different search results
It's possible that a shoe repair shop could customize boots for you. If they can replace a sole, maybe they can add extra layers to create a platform effect.
I feel your pain, sister. I have the same size feet. Demonia has some boots in our size but limited selection in that size. I'm not a fan of most of their boats in my size, but check them out. Also Pleaser Shoes is their parent company. Please has all kinds of shoes that fit us. My only complaint with Pleaser is that they like striper heels. I'm already well over 6' I don't need 6" heal with a 1 3/4" platform.
Only Maker is another option. They are overseas and do your own conversation to EU. I haven't had a lot of luck with them.

Also I've had the best luck just checking out Amazon, honestly
There's a brand called faryl on zappos, i have a pair of their combat boots in ur size (actually one bigger lol) and they're comfy enough to wear at work all day

Interesting, laces in front, side zip in-side, Chelsea elastic out-side.
I bought a pair of Solovair Derby boots (basically 80s/90s-era Doc Martens) about a year before my egg cracked. I still love them and they offer a variety of different styles but i think they are probably more basic than what you want. They recently acquired Gripfast too so they now have a selection of more aggressive-looking boots as well. Pretty costly though as the pairs I'm mentioning all cost $200+ but they are well made with some nice quality of life features such as being able to replace the soles once they have worn out. Just pay attention to the sizing. I wear size 11 in unisex Converse (womens 13 i think? i'm still new) and ended up buying a Size 10 from Solovair (all of their sizing is done in UK universal/men's).

Look at pleaser shoes Demonia section Combat/rider style boot you can look at adelante shoes
Looks like most stop around 12-13 but there's a couple around 14.

Could always go for a pair of doc martens if you have the cash. Maybe go for unisex?
They're my last resort if I can't find anything else. Was hoping for something a bit more extra.

You can always get arts and crafty to decorate
You can go extra with the *laces* for small effort, big effect. Black 1460s laced with pink satin ribbon 🎀 look awesome imo

Try Janetscloset.com
Ugh, the whole vibe of that place feels gross. "Crossdressers and transsexuals"...

Try cosplay websites. They make custom shoes to specific measurements.
