Although a male , I have always had and been on the small side in stature and think it might have been due to one months coming in to the world earlier. Always having small feet size 6 most of my life, now in my 80s my feet appear to have shrunk. So now I cant buy carpet slippers as size 6 as after awhile they just become too slack on my feet, so I have had to resort to buying boys in early teens size 5. five and a half is better. So House of Slippers are without knowing catering a market of which they do not know , as most footwear suppliers are not aware of. We men with small feet would appreciate if they made shoes etc starting at a smaller size than the standard 6 Imperial Thank you House of Slippers , you do, for me .
