    her feet sound pretty normal to me, but if you are worried make sure you get her properly fitted for her shoes and consider something with ankle support so she doesn't get into bad habits young. My husband is 6'5" and a size 13 feet and he never gets problem with his feet being too small so I suspect there is no exact formula for what size feet you need to have for your height to avoid problems.

    ETA my DS1 was a size 5 at 9 months when he started walking, my boytwin did not fit those same size 5 shoes until he was almost 2. Yet they both have excellent balance and no feet problems that I am aware of.

    My niece is just over 3 and she is only just in a size 6 shoe now. she does have small, petite feet though. My girls have shortish feet too and were only in a 5-6 (depending on the brand) by 2yo and I just had a look in their blue books and there were 89 and 92cm at 2yo so tallish girls. Their feet look in proportion to their size now though. I would do what Traveller suggested and perhaps look at getting some inserts for her shoes so that her ankles stay in the right position with no rolling etc. And always make sure that her shoes are well fitted and you should have no problems with her ankles.
