Alas, why oh why do I have such small feet? It is a mammoth task to actually find shoes that fit. It is terrible being a size 2-3 in Singapore. I have tried shopping at the kids’ section but unless I want to be spotted wearing pink, frilly and cartoon-adorned heels, I can only 1) pray that the brand I have tried carries small-er sizes or 2) make it work* with all the tools available. A seemingly cheap pair of shoes will end up slightly more expensive for me with all the other knick-knacks that I’ve got to buy just so I can fill it in. Not to mention how bad it is for my posture when the shoe doesn’t really fit well. 

I have such a weakness for shoes and would be such a shoe-o-holic if not for that two small foot of mine. I like shopping for and trying a-thousand-and-one pairs of shoes but I often end up dejected. I long for the day Nine West and Aldo carry shoes in smaller sizes so that I can finally relish in the pleasure of owning one. I don’t even dare to think of the Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutin. My only hope lies in the local shoe boutiques. Charles and Keith used to be my one hope, but the small sizes run out rather quickly of late, which explains the recent drought of shoes from there. There is Pink Martina at Tangs (where I found my pumps) but the designs are usually outdated. The quality of shoes from Mondo sucks BIG TIME. And then there is Pazzion which is not exactly fitting but well, beggar can’t be choosers. :) 

If only… the shoe fits.
