I read the shoe-shopping travails of the tiny-footed columnist, and I would like to share a shoe-shopping trip with FantasticToe readers. A friend’s daughter is average size (5′5″), but she has tiny feet (size 4). She spotted a pair of gorgeous brown leather boots at a high-end store, which usually means a high-end price. Friend’s daughter went in, negotiated with the manager (i.e., you will never sell such a small size boot), offered a ridiculous price and came out the proud owner os said boots.
