After much consideration, I’ve decided to sell the business. For over a decade, The Little Shoe Store has specialized in stylish, handmade shoes for women and girls with dwarfism, as well as those with petite or wider feet. It was created (by original owner, Sydney Pringle) with a purpose: to fill a gap in the footwear market and provide options for those whose needs are frequently overlooked.

With existing inventory, an established manufacturer, and a loyal customer base, The Little Shoe Store provides a unique opportunity to acquire an established brand and build upon its solid foundation with further growth and potential. If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out for more details or email [email protected]. Serious inquiries only. Sharing this announcement with others is greatly appreciated.

Current inventory is available on our website, while participation at the LPA National Conference Expo in New Orleans is still to be determined. I truly hope to pass this on to someone passionate in seeing the value and understanding the community it was created to serve. Thank you for your continued support! - Aimee Rudd

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years at the LPA National Conference!

We’re excited to be going to San Diego for this year’s LPA National Conference & Expo, because this one is extra special.

It’s been 10 years since The Little Shoe Store debuted at our very first LPA Expo in St. Louis. What started as a simple idea quickly became a success with ladies and girls of different ages in the LPA and dwarfism community.

Stop by our table and say hi, try on something, and join us in celebrating 10 years of comfort & confidence! Let us know if we will see you there!

How to Measure Your Feet

Think shoe size is just about length? Think again! The width of your foot; can make or break the way a shoe fits and feels. This is one of the factors that sets our shoes apart. They are designed with a wider toe box with the wider foot in mind.

Here’s how to measure for your perfect fit at home:

📄 Place a sheet of paper on the floor and trace your foot.
📏 Measure the length from heel to longest toe.
↔️ Measure the width at the widest part of the foot.
🧵 Use a soft measuring tape to wrap around the ball of your foot.

📥 Not sure where to start? Reach out - we’re here to help you find your perfect fit. Because when shoes fit well, everything feels better.
