Like you, I'm transitioned later in life . I've been wearing men's shoes for years. I found out what size I would wear, then went shopping in the Men's department. If you don't like what the sales people show you, let them know. Ultimately, buy what makes YOU happy - you have choices. Hang in there - it a brave new world!
I have similar experiences. I mostly use barefoot shoes in daily life, but for alpinism and hiking I use "regular" shoes. I hate high hiking boots but when I went to Iceland I needed something high to not constantly have to switch to sandals. In the store I did fit the same Lowas you show here, but I just couldn't handle the color (also I was thinking I might need to be stealth on that trip). They didn't have the male version in the size I needed (42, my feet are also bigger since T), but ordered them to my house and they did fit better than the female ones, I had a bit more space in the front but the heel was still snug enough. The issue I usually have with mens shoes is that they are too wide in the back, and women's shoes are too narrow in the front. Another thing you could do is look at Scarpa Mojitos, they are unisex.

For running shoes the W means wide, not woman. Also for running it's better to size up. I need to size up and go for the wide as well otherwise my feet fall asleep during the run. Hope this calms you down a bit! I stumbled upon your account and kept following you - your videos have such a calming effect on me. Keep it going!
1 amazing thing I saw on your run, is no graffiti in the tunnel walls. I trimmed with a buzz trimmer. I think feeling the hair is like a security thing for me lol. Im size 42 in shoes. I have NO arch, so I have no problem and have been buying mens shoes even before I came out. I prefered mens t-shirts as well. I wear water shoes for water. They look like trainers but soooo light. I dont get fitted, I just go to Kmart or order online. I was expecting the top to come off your blender haha. Man, your legs look so good. Im jealous!!! As an older transman, my skin is starting to sag, testosterone hasnt saved my skin. I have noticed more muscle on my shoulders tho. Ooof, I should really water my plants outside. Thanks for another awesome vid Daan!!!
You still have Kmart? They left from where I live, I miss them so much! I'm also older, saggy and getting bald and gray at the same time, it was weird to go through transition into someone who looks like they're past their midlife crisis lol
Haha, no graffiti, it’s funny because I think they paint it every month or so because of the graffiti scribbles 😅. Thanks for the compliment about my legs, it feels kinda weird because I’ve always been insecure about my legs, and now on T I see changes in fat distribution which makes me very happy 🙂. Water your plants! 😉
I can’t even explain how happy I am to have found your channel, the first video I saw was your video on transitioning later in life which made me feel so relieved and at peace with the fact I won’t be able to think about transition until my 30s due to my circumstances (I’m 25 now) Also I was curious for your personal questions if you felt comfortable talking about what you do for work? How has your transition effected your work
I just have to thank you so much for your videos. They've provided me with a lot of encouragement and comfort because my experience feels more similar to yours. Haha you've even inspired me to learn Dutch! I appreciate your realness and honesty. Question: I've only been on T for 3 months (Reandron, aka Nebido). Sustanon isn't covered under public health but has your experience on it been better for you than gel? In what ways, if you're willing to share? Thank you Daan! Congratulations on the 1k! Much deserved 🎉
From my point of view, that is not a baby face. Definitely a good-looking man's face, with or without the beard. :) The feet are man feet, although I don't know if that changed after you started T. They're bigger than mine and I haven't had much trouble finding shoes in that size. You are a good man!
Do you ever speak more than one language while having a conversation with someone accidentally? Thank you for the vicarious trip outside today, beautiful scenery! Here in the US, they make women's shoes a bit more flimsy and cheap, they fall apart much quicker than men's shoes. I have small feet, and usually shop in the boy's section. I also need wide shoes, those are hard to find in boy's size over here as well. I have a second question too, do they put chemicals in your tap water that make it taste weird over there? I have to run mine through a filter before I can drink it.
Here in the USA I have female friends and coworkers who will buy boys shoes in a certain style because they are remarkably cheaper. Some of my friends are average height or taller too and they don't seem to have a problem finding boy's sizes that fit them. Have you tried looking in the boys section?
is it a europe thing? i'm an eu 39 or 40 and i've always worn male shoes unless i'm borrowing one of my sis's expensive shoes. those sizes are available most places aren't they
Hoe sta jij in de voor en nadelen van een hysterectomie ? Hoor als 1 van de reden dat het risico op baarmoeder kanker verhoogd is als je hem laat zitten maar kan daar weinig informatie over vinden .
Vind ik een lastige om iets over te zeggen omdat ik me er niet in verdiept heb. Ik zou dat echt aan een professional van een genderteam vragen. Zelf ben ik onder behandeling bij het UMCG en ik kan altijd met dit soort vragen bij ze terecht. Voor mij is het op dit moment niet iets waar ik mee bezig ben.
What's your top personal goal for this year? (and what is your ultimate goal with the channel?) Loved all your videos and insight so far!

I’ve noticed the book shelf behind you, what is your favorite book and why?
Also CONGRATS on 1k!! You deserve it!
Thank you!!

@@Daan_Spieard Yes you can see definition. Looking great. Thanks I will water them! 😁
@@rainbowtropolis Yeah same. Its come along too soon. Im not ready 🤭Im going to try to maintain my health as best I can.
@@CoMorbiditty The best you can is better than not trying at all, keep up the good work! 👍

@@Daan_Spieard dankjewel voor je reactie 🙏🏼
Er is geen enkel bewijs voor de claim dat testosteron de kans op kanker in die regio vergroot.
