Grumble.....difficul ties of having little feet.

Oh, I've always wanted dainty feet . My mum and sister were size 4 and mine just kept on growing, and growing. Size 7 and wide. I had many a remark about My Darling Clementine when I was a teen . One of my DDs takes size 4, the other a 6.

I take size 2, used to be able to get away with 3 before the lasts were changed to correspond with continental sizes and now take size 35. I buy on line from pavers (shoe shop.com). I also buy when abroad. Italian and Spanish have very small sizes and can be reasonably priced. I find that most of the specialist small size shops in the U.K. are horrendously expensive.

Many good suggestions-thank you.

gg did you know Clarks stock size 2?.

We haven't a Clarks near here and I haven't been able to find any I like on line. I have occasionally been able to buy Gabor in my size but they are a bit expensive

Katek - I'm curious whether you've always been a 3? I was 3 or 3 and a half as a teen and young adult. I went up to a 4 aged around 30 (not due to excess weight, I was skinny). Now I find I need 4 and half though, as Eloethan says, half sizes are hard to find. Hotter do half sizes but they tend to cater for wide feet and mine are quite narrow.
I've also heard that shoe sizes get smaller the further north you go and 3 or 4 are quite common in Scotland, though rare in the South.

I think shoe sizes may have changed slightly due to continental sizing.

Perhaps in these post-Brexit times we can revert back?

I've always been a 3 moira, even when pregnant. Funnily enough though I am in the north of Scotland! Dd2 is just a 4 as is dil-both in Scotland!
