11 Places To Shop For Super Cute Petite Shoes

Shopping for cute, polished, and sophisticated shoes when you've got small feet is sort of like finding a four-leaf clover: It's extremely difficult, but not exactly impossible. Still, it's tough, but shoe shopping for small feet doesn't have to be a drag. Don't get me wrong: I've missed out on so many pairs of shoes that just don't come in a size 5, but there is a silver lining to it all.

And that's the joy you do feel when you score a pair of amazing shoes in your size. It's no cosmic coincidence: It's fate. They belong to you and your beautiful feet. Am I being dramatic? A little, but when you've got limited options for your tiny feet, it feels so, so good to score on the perfect pair of shoes.

Since I was a teen, I'd curse my mother for giving me her feet. They're so identical, in fact, that my siblings often tease me for it. They're small, a little on the wide side, and definitely don't look perfect in a lot of shoes. This was especially difficult a few years ago, when the smallest size most brands would carry was a six. But now, more recently, shoe brands have been expanding into smaller and larger sizes, and I have to say thank you for that.

But as I've grown up, I've learned exactly where to shop to get my fabulous shoe fix on, without feeling the deep remorse for not having my size. Sure, this happens on the daily, but the options are only growing. I just have to say: Get there faster! So for all of you teeny feet shoppers like me, here's exactly where to shop and why.

1. Sam Edelman

Yates Beaded Block Heel, $275, samedelman.com

Hi, pretties. I'd say about 70% of my shoes come from Sam Edelman. They even go down to a size 4 and 4.5, depending on the shoe. Plus, they're super well made and comfortable, and have lasted me years. And that's in New York City streets, so you know they're tough.

2. Nordstrom Rack

I own these in black, and they're the most comfortable "heeled" sandals I own. And they're super cute. Madewell does a great job of carrying size 5 in most of their styles!
