About small-shoes.co.uk

Small-shoes.co.uk is just two people, with a passion for providing elegant, high-quality women's shoes in small sizes - Janet and Chris Granger. We live in a small village in Staffordshire, in the beautiful Peak District. Our personal approach to life is that you should enjoy your work and leisure, striving to do both well.

We felt we had to do something to make it easier to find small shoes in the UK, after Janet spent months trying to find ANY shoes that would fit her, and having no luck. Initially, we set up a support site, hoping to discover shops that did sell small shoes, but now we have a collection of hundreds of pairs of small shoes, some of which you can see here. We hope that choosing your new shoes from this site will save you from having to do the fruitless searching around that we did.

Our business is kept lean and efficient - to ensure that you get great value for money, personal customer care and prompt delivery. We keep our running costs down, by doing as much of the processes of business ourselves - short of making the shoes, of course! We leave that to the experts, and we think the quality of the high-class Italian and Spanish leather footwear we offer you speaks for itself. Once you have worn a pair of our beautiful leather court shoes, sandals or boots, you will know what we mean!

Before we started searching for small shoes, our 'day job' was the business that we set up in 1996 - Janet Granger Designs, which is a company selling miniature embroidery kits to make items for twelfth scale dollshouses. If you would like to see the website, go to www.janetgranger.co.uk. That business takes up a lot of our time, as anyone who has been self-employed will know - and now hunting for shoes and selling them makes us even more busy! We try to keep life simple, though, so we do take time to experience the important things in life; for example...

Dances Of Universal Peace

Recently, we have discovered one of the best-kept secrets of life - the Dances Of Universal Peace ! These are held at venues around the UK, and people who are in the know travel for miles to get to them.

What are they? You'd have to come and try them yourself - it's almost impossible to convey how good they make you feel, just with words. Suffice to say, if you try them once and would like dancing simple, gentle dances while singing sacred phrases, which are taken from all cultures around the world, and are looking for a way to get a deeper, more spiritual experience of life, in the company of people whom you will come to like so much that you want to hug them ( - after dancing for just one day!) - you will be 'hooked' !

Here's a taster, on YouTube - but it's nothing like as good as being there for real:
