Some of you ladies might remember how loooong it took me to convince myself to purchase the $185 wedding shoes I wanted. I was so excited when I did. Well I got them and they are TOOOO big. The smallest size they make is a 5.
I had to ship them back.

I ordered a different pair that I though was ok. And were much cheaper. Again I got a 5 thinking that the other pair just ran big. Well these come in and are also TOOO Big. Different shoe website and designer.

W T F is going on??? Am I shrinking???

I've looked into size 4.5 but they are either farty old lady shoes or basically FG shoes!

awww, i'm sorry!!

if it makes you feel any better-- i have a size 11, wear the same size shoe as VINNY and once a guy in a shoe store called me sasquatch when i told the salesperson my size.

you think an 11 is bad. I wear a 12. Well technically an 11.5 narrow but that size doesn't exist. So I have to wear a 12 and they are too long and too wide. My mom always teases me and says I will have to wear shoe boxes soon. And by moh always sends me shoe catalogs for transvestites

OH! I'm sorry about the shoes..thats so frustrating

I'm really short too and have little feet (4'11 size 5 1/2 shoe. It does get very frustrating but you will find something. If your willing to spend some cash maybe you could have soemthing made?

Don't let Paris get away that easy! She's actually only 5'8! Don't worry girl!
I had a griend who was 5'4, and a size 9 1/2-10!!!

Did you try putting cushions in the front? It makes them tighter. The lady gave them to me at the shop when I was trying on shoes.

Like these, although mine were a different brand. She said I needed them because my feet were narrow.

Re: I HATE Being A Munchkin!! Short Vent..No Pun Intended

What about that designer shoe store in the city? My friend has small feet, too, and has gotten some hot shoes there..don't remember the name, but if you FM me, I'll ask her..good luck!

Re: I HATE Being A Munchkin!! Short Vent..No Pun Intended

I am a 10, so I have a similar problem at times...

How about trying on mules? Size is more flexible in backless or slingback shoes...

Re: I HATE Being A Munchkin!! Short Vent..No Pun Intended

I know what you mean!! I'm 4'10 and my shoes range from a size 4-5...

I've bought shoes from World Tone (http://www.worldtonedance.com/) before that fit me really well and they're comfortable because they're meant for dancing.

If you can find places that import shoes from Italy, they usually have shoes that are size 4, 4.5, and 5. That helps a lot. There are a couple small shops in the financial district that import shoes and sell them at a discount.

Good luck!!!

Awww you have tiny feet ~ so cute! (but must be frustrating) My FFIL is small also and he has to go to the little boys department for his clothes!

I have a common sixe 7 - 7.5 and in my size they are always out of the shoes that i like!

Re: I HATE Being A Munchkin!! Short Vent..No Pun Intended

One of my friends has the same problem. She only buys shoes at Nordstroms...they usually have her size. Try them out, they have such a huge selection, maybe they have something you can use.

Otherwise, maybe if you get a slingback with a buckle, you can make a new hole in the strap to make them tighter. With the right shoe and a long dress to cover it up, it might work!

Good luck!
