Do low wedge heels in size 5–6 exist?

ami kio <...@cant–take–anymore–spam.com>
I was complaining to a friend about the difficulty of finding comfortable
low heels. I've discovered that kitten heels are still a bit uncomfortable
for me, and I much prefer a low wedge heel –– of which I own a single
solitary pair (strangely, Jcrew). She said that there were tons of
comfortable low wedge heels, but I then pointed out that many shoe
manufacturers use the same wedge insert for all the sizes. We were shopping
in BR at the time, and I picked up a pair of wedge espadrilles in size 5 and
size 10. When I held them side by side, the heels were the exact same
height. This means that a size 5 foot sits on a much steeper incline than
an size 10 foot, which is obviously more uncomfortable.
So fellow petite footed alt.fashionites, can you recommend a pair of
casual–to–slightly–dressy low (i.e. 2.5" max) wedge heels for under $120?
TIA,
ami

I saw some on tarynrose.com but no prices. Robert Clergerie has a
lower prices line and they've been doing wedges for years.

are some options that might work:

Pricy but go to neimanmarcus.com Click on shoes and then on wedges.
You will see them in your size.

I do like Taryn Rose shoes for comfort, but I can't bring myself to spend
$300/+ on a pair of shoes. Robert Clergerie on zappos.com has some
interesting styles, but I don't particularly like his wedges. Thanks
though!
