My Lilliputian feet + a Ferretti giveaway - CLOSED

I could very well be the epitome of petite – 5’4”, 100 lbs, tiny frame, the works. But what people don’t know is that’s not the end of it. I, my friends, also have tiny feet.

Back in college, a lot of people thought my teeny tiny feet were cute, while others thought it was just weird. I didn’t really think much of it (after all, I do come from a family with small feet), twas only til I needed to buy high-heeled or trendy shoes for special events that I noticed there weren’t a lot of brands catering to my size.

I could even get away with a size 5 back then, but in recent years it’s like the whole world grew except my footsies as I have now been demoted to a size 4! My favorite UK brand just stopped carrying my size and I was distraught. I am now a minority. Oh what’s a girl to do, shop in the kids section? Le sigh.

And then I heard about Ferretti from Liz, who was their brand consultant. She said Ferretti carries size 4 shoes and there was a branch in Trinoma. I was skeptical at first, I was sure that I’d see some really outdated styles or a very limited selection of flats and sandals.

Fast forward a year later, and Ferretti is my first stop whenever I find myself in Trinoma and Glorietta. Aside from having size 4 sizes (yay!), their styles trendy, current and sensible, perfect for the office, night-outs and fasyon events. Plus select styles are waaay comfy! I could walk in my beige wedges (photo above) for hours and not get blisters.

And although I still can’t wear some styles like skyrocket heels and booties (my feet can’t take them just yet), I’m very happy that Ferretti has become such a huge part of my life. So much so that I blow my paycheck every time I’m in their store, much to the chagrin of the boyfriend.

I’m quite thrilled to receive emails from readers who coincidentally share the same dilemma of having small feet. In response to this, the awesome people at Ferretti have devised a giveaway so that small-footed people don't have to worry about sacrificing style for comfort, or the other way around.
