Where do you go in Sydney to buy size 4 and a half womens running shoes? I am sick of buying kids shoes and having blister and knee trouble. Most womens shoes start at 7 but with Sydney having so many runners there must be other people like me???!!!! Does anyone know where I can go to buy some decent shoes? ;)

I wear a 6.5 size shoe and it's not always easy to find them. I would expect you have to special order a size 4.5.

I would look at websites to order from the US or UK.
Of course, you don't get to try them on and see if you like them before you buy.
What's wrong with kids shoes?

I have to wear kids jeans and trousers. I just have to shop around for those that don't look like kids (plain ones). I either have to buy kids jeans & shorts or have them custom made.

Maybe try online sites from Asia? (Singapore, HK)
They're generally smaller people.

Hi Jam, it is hard to find a small size. You will find most general shoes stores will only accomodate for the mass. The smallest size I stock is a size 3.5 UK, 36 Euro. This is a size 6 US. The brands do not bring in smaller than this into the country. Nike do have very few selected models that go down to a size 5 US.
If you have probs, message me and I can help with some more info.

Regards
Andy

I'm bringing up an old thread because I'm looking for new shoes. I tried some on today but a lot were too big. The Mizuno Ultras fit the best (size 6US), but they didn't feel right. I'm usually a size 5 AUS. I've been wearing Asics gels for the past year and they're too big.

Does anyone know brands which are a small make? I don't want to buy online unless I can try them on first.
