Are those TINY feeties getting better at heel-braking? ;')

If those short feet aren't fitting snugly enough, it could affect your 
ability to lever your toe in the air and jam that brake into the asphalt.

The big online sites (skates.com, inlinewarehouse.com) have women's K2's 
down to size 4.0, but Salomon and RB's only down to size 6.0... luckily K2 
is a comfy quality brand.  When you start strapping wheels to your feet, 
they definitely have to fit snugly.  (Perhaps kid's sizes??? =:0 )

But hey, you just bought these RBs, right?...

You will almost certainly get a more snug fit by installing sport insoles, 
such as Superfeet or SOLE orthotics.  The factory insoles on most brands 
are thin worthless things with no arch support, so anything you add makes a 
dramatic difference.

Good Luck
