When I lived in Belgium in the mid-80's, I was able to find size 35 shoes. A few years ago when I visited Europe, I couldn't find ANY small sizes. I ended up having to buy junior boots for my cold feet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596143523384099189.post-28719476515697446182008-08-03T02:55:00.000-07:002008-08-03T02:55:00.000-07:00I can also sympathise 100%, my friends refuse to g...I can also sympathise 100%, my friends refuse to go shopping with me for shoes as it is always such a depressing outing! I am constantly frustrated. I'm a 35 or AUS size 5 and have started looking for someone who can make my shoes and I'll just have to wear the cost!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686558814600613060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596143523384099189.post-40949095307644741332008-06-02T08:56:00.000-07:002008-06-02T08:56:00.000-07:00Obviously you are not alone!

Always ending my search sat in the middle of the final store in tears, and then... Barratts, tall and small size arrive, oh bliss but no - even they dont bother to stock this range in the local store, oh says the assistant you are better to order on-line all well and good except I now have boxes upon boxes pile up in my wardrobe as I purchase the ever illusive shoe from the internet, is it a 34 a 35 or a 36. And then oh yes another website and so much help,I send my size, measurement and width, and the wonderful shoes arrives but no the fat foot wont quite fit. And all I want is to look good and walk proud. And as my life comes to mid way (50 looming) I wonder will I ever be able to wear that georgous skirt suit or will I be ever destined to trouser suits with boring shoes filled with insoles, with skirts that touch my ankles to hide the old fashioned sandle tucked underneath. Shoe manufacturers please listen, we dont want the world, just a fashionable shoe that fits..... bring on plastic surgery for small fat footed girls....

In US sizes, I can never find a 5 1/2 (the US-equivalent of something like a 35). And stores usually put their size 6 shoes (which I can sometimes wear depending on the style of shoe) out as their "display shoe" so as you can imagine, that shoe gets all worn-looking and handled. So when I do buy a pair of size 6 shoes, I get to buy that display shoe along with the other pristine shoe that's been sitting out back in its box. Yeah, so the shoes don't look exactly the same once I buy them. It's so frustrating for women our size! <BR/><BR/>I also think that pants are ridiculously long now. I wear a 28" inseam pant. Have you ever tried to find designer pants with that inseam? Good luck! Most "petite" pants have a 29 - 32" inseam! And they call them "petite"?!?<BR/><BR/>I have been struggling with this for years! It's time designers start to design for petite women. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596143523384099189.post-76503848625703087382007-10-29T15:11:00.000-07:002007-10-29T15:11:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comment on my blog.

I think women's feet have gotten larger, so small shoes are hard to find. I've actually shopped for casual shoes in the children's department, buying the largest girl and even boy sizes. It creates an entirely new fashion statementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
