Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Sz. 5.5 and Under

I have to admit, I'm slightly jealous of you petite women who can boast of having extra tiny feet as well.  I have a very average size 7 foot - the size that's usually sold out by the time most shoes hit the sale rack.  That said, I imagine that those of you with smaller-than-average feet might want the rest of us to walk a mile in your shoes - literally!  That would mean enduring the frustration of shopping in stores that don't even carry one's size!  Well, have no fear, ladies!  You have stumbled across your own virtual shoe emporium for shoes in sizes 5.5 and under! 

So take a leisurely stroll down the aisles of store after store and be pleasantly surprised that there really are cute, comfortable shoes made for your petite feet ... so you can look nothing short of amazing!
