It's usually the better bargain to splash out on the shoes that you love- ride more and faster in equipment you think is snazzy. Besides, Jalapenos are lame. You would hate them after a few rides. No support. Expensive Keds sneakers

With small feet, after you tear these up and learn what you like in a shoe, there are terrific bargains to be had in the sales at Nashbar and Performance. They never have my size, but you could do well. Our gracious hosts Team Estrogen can probably give you help with shoes, too. Call 'em up if the Specialized don't work out.
