Have a look at this thread, especially towards the end.
Cressi-sub makes XS fins that are pretty small, but they're regular fins, not splits. Force Fins are a bit like splits and come in XS and S. I've seen itty-bitty kids wearing them.

Visit your LDS (local dive shop), even if it's 100 miles away. You need to try on fins, not guess.
Now, Not to start trouble BUT the previous suggestion of "force fins" is, in my opinion, absolutley silly. "Force fins" are, again in my opinion (yea, I've tried them), nothing but a long-term marketing gimick targeted at folks without the skill to perform a normal kick stroke. They are, for most divers, similar to diving with sneakers on. Your instructor did/will teach you better.
Think about a name-brand manufacturer such as ScubaPro, Dacor, Mares, etc. Don't play with toys.

Hey, hey, I wasn't recommending them, I was saying they are available for small feet. I'm guessing you don't have small feet, because if you did, you'd be willing to consider anything that fits. Force Fins aren't my cup of tea either, but some people like them (see this thread), and they do come in small sizes. Mares open-heel fins, OTOH, are enormously wide, even when it says XS on the bottom.
FWIW I use Cressi Frogs.

So are Keds. I'll probably get sued by Bob Evans for what I've already said about Farce Fins so I'll let it be.

I am a US size 6 and the grey Scubapro split fins fitted me in my drysuit boots.
The best thing is to try them on at your LDS.

I don't even know if they still make them, but my mother has a size 5 and a 1/2 feet, and she used to dive with Mares. Don't know if they were good bad or otherwise, just know sje used them.
