by AlterationsNeeded on June 9, 2010

Since I love finding companies that make shoes in smaller than a size US 5, a reader emailed me to  suggest I check out Shoes of Prey.

Many petite women also need petite shoes. I’m lucky enough to be a size US5, but I see a lot of comments and read a lot of emails from women who are anywhere from a women’s size 2 to 4.5 shoe, and have a horrible time finding stylish, chic shoes in their size.

Emyloo Shoes “Madison”, size 5.5 – No longer available **UPDATE** Emyloo Shoes was kind enough to give us a coupon code! Use code AN2011 for $10 off at checkout. Good through November 30, 2011.

Stores are beginning to stop carrying this size (I don’t even bother going into the Bloomingdales shoe department anymore, and I got uncerem…

…8220;all heels, all the time” mentality is often hindered by pinching, rubbing, blisters and other unfortunate side effects of wearing high heels. This is why I am going to let you in on my secret weapon…Cole Haan shoes with Nike Air technology.

I had the opportunity to visit the Cinderella of Boston store in Westminster, CA, to see the merchandise first hand. While there, I also got to chat with the company’s merchandise buyer, learned all kinds of fun facts about shoes and fit, and got to run around …
