I have small feet and this has been a burden for me ever since I entered my teen years! I could never find the right sized shoe that would fit me perfectly! If I admired some shoes on display, chances were that the particular style of shoes I was eyeing just didn’t have a size that fit my feet perfectly. They would be either too big or too small. Sometimes, the smallest size available would still be too large for my foot. FYI my feet are somewhere between a 5 and a 6 in U.S. shoe size. Since not all brands have the same sizing, that adds to the difficulty in finding the right sized shoes for me.

My boyfriend bought me some Toms for my birthday, but unfortunately they were a little too big and slipped off easily. So we went half a size down and the shoes were painfully small. I tried “breaking them in” for a day and the next two days consisted of me limping around because my toes hurt so bad! I’ve tried those little sticky pads before, but they just don’t work…my feet still slip out or the pad might even move around. My next solution – and I don’t know what took me so long to figure it out – is to find the perfect low-cut socks to wear with my Toms, other slip-on shoes, flats, etc. that are just a little loose and need that extra something to keep them on my feet…
