I wear a size 11 in “LITTLE KID” #WTF. I can’t shop at Cinderella of Boston (they start at size 2) or most of the other online retailers for Little People or ladies with petite feet. Most of my local shoe selections include fuzzy animal stickers or words like “CUTE”, “I LOVE MY MOMMY” and other things no adult woman should have to wear. I personally love stilettos. I suspect my fascination stems from not being able to buy real adult shoes and wanting to overcompensate with gaudy-to-the-point-of-being-inappropriate stilettos.

I work at a hospital and although their policies do not specifically state employees cannot wear shiny, metallic stilettos with rhinestones, I do exercise professionalism and wear proper footwear.
