Just look for larger women's sizes anon, particular those with a chunky heel and in a more masculine style.
Just know that if you don't know how to style accordingly you're going to look really stupid and desperate.

Alternatively (and probably the better choice for you), make like kpop stars and stuff your shoes with heel inserts.
Actually now that I think about it, I don't know why people don't use heel inserts more often for cosplay.

Is she en pointe? Either way, jesus that's impressive.

Can I point out something I hate in cosplay/ alt fashion?
Platform boots. Especially in organization 13 cosplays. It does not make any practical sense.

Ahh, fetish heels. How I love thee and wish thee death. She likely was sitting/laying down for most of the shoot, but damn it does look awesome

Heel inserts are fine for an inch, but most shoes aren't designed to wear with them (well, long term anyways) The uppers of shoes tend to not have enough stretch to accommodate the higher instep. The heel wrap will also be too low to secure the back of the foot, which means unless you've had a lot of practice in mules, you'll step right out of the shoe.

That's true for regular shoes, but you can wear at least a couple inches with boots or high-top shoes pretty easily. The trick is to get shoes two or more sizes bigger than your own. Coupled with a bit of a heel (maybe an inch or so) on the boots themselves and you can get at least three inches.

Considering the fact that most of the time when people want to add height it's usually crossplaying girls, it's a decent solution and the larger shoe size will make it more convincing anyways. A whole lot better alternative than this shit >>7909452 for sure. Platforms and hooker heels on male characters is ridiculous.

Are the platforms of such boots massive or empty/only supporting structure? How to check?
I got a pair with about 12cm height and walking in them feels like the streets and the boots are in a magnetic relationship because the natural rolling motion your feet do when walking isn't possible here. I'd like to grind off a bit of the bottom front like in pic related, the shaded area.
Is that a bad idea?

Actually, she says she was wearing pointe shoes on her facebook page. Pretty impressive.

>the larger shoe size will make it more convincing anyways

Man, I'm pretty tall so height isn't an issue for me, but I put a bunch of work into some shoes for a crossplay outfit and I didn't realize until I got photos back just how bad the proportions look when you're cosplaying a dude and have tiny, dainty lady size-shoes on.

Yeah it's something you don't necessarily think about, but it makes a bit of a difference I guess.

I don't know, personally, I wear shoe inserts almost daily mainly because it's comfortable as hell and I have flat feet, and the height boost is a good bonus. I think it's a better alternative to stuffing your shoes if you wear several sizes bigger, because even with padding the shoes still feel big, usually because the vertical space is still big. I magine if you don't need the height but the bigger shoes size, like half an inch or so would suffice?
