Being petite often means having small feet, too. Some of us also have 'problem' calves as well, either too slim for standard boots, or too broad for slim fitting continental cut boots. Yet the range of sizes stocked in High Street shoe shops is diminishing, at least at the small end. Size 3 is disappearing from many stores, and if you need a smaller size than that, it can be difficult to find anything that isn't intended for children.
Fortunately there are some stores and online retailers around specialising in small sizes... and more. Featured on this page are some of the best. Take Duo Boots, for example. Duo specialises in boots in a wide variety of sizes and fittings, including very broad and very narrow calf sizes. All the small shoe retailers listed here specialise in sizes under a Euro 36 or a UK size 3.

The beauty of Duo Boots is that they offer beautiful, affordable boots from size 2 in up to 21 different calf widths! The range is available by mail order, telephone or online, and they also have a shop in Bath.
