Hi everyone,
I'd like your help in writing to the Fashion Industry in order to pressure them to make our sizes in footwear and clothing. Many sizes don't exist for us in footwear and clothing we'd like to wear.Β Let's band together and see if we can change that!
I'll put together some contact information this month. Some companies I'm thinking of off the top of my head would be Sorel, Mucluck, Columbia, Marmot, Hard Mountain Gear, REI, Nike, New Balance, Reebok, Target, Walmart, DSW, Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Nordstroms. If you have any other companies please find the contact information and add them below.
Thank you for your help with this! I don't mind being barefoot and naked sometimes, but it's usually best to wearing shoes and clothes, ha ha.
To our success,
Dasia
Great idea Dasia!Β This is a great list of retailers and manufacturers too which is a good top down and bottom up approach.Β It does seem to be athletics and outdoors gear centric.Β There are some strong fashion oriented mfgs too such as Nine West, Clarkes, etc...Β that would be good too.
Thanks, Cloe!
Yeah I tend to be athletic and outdoorsy right now. My list is way not conclusive. If anybody knows other more professional and glam footwear and clothing companies just add away. I have faith that if we ask for it they will make it. Field of Dreams stuff but in reverse. π

I think it'd be so awesome to have footwear and clothing that fit us! It's horrible finding just that right design only to realize the company doesn't even make it in my size. It would be great if any trans men could give me a heads up on a smaller size mens shoe or boot to ask the companies for. I'd like to help them with our calls, too. I would guess as small as a Mens 3 might be a good place to start.
Thanks everyone!
Dasia
