Paris Hilton hasn't let her less than perfect feet put her off launching her own shoe range.

The socialite arrived in Montreal on the weekend to meet her fans and launch her newly designed range of shoes.

But some might say it's a bit rich coming from the heiress who possesses a pair of extremely large size 11 feet (UK size 9) complete with an angry-looking bunion.

Nonetheless, Paris' shoe launch attracted hundreds of people, as they lined up on a Ste-Catherine Street sidewalk for as long as seven hours to meet the infamous heiress.

Dressed in a black minidress, and striking silver shoes from the range, Paris said: "I'm so excited to be in Montreal again, I love Canada.

"It's an honour to have my shoe line here. I'm very excited and I'm excited to see all my fans - I saw there's so many people outside", she told fans crammed into the back of the downtown Browns Shoes store.

Paris has previously bemoaned her huge US size 11 feet. She said: "Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos.

"And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes."

However, her fans greeted the launch of her shoe collection like a major event, and shouted "I love you Paris" to the socialite as she strutted around a small stage.

The heiress beamed back, and said: "I love you all, thank you so much for coming, this is so exciting, and go buy my shoes."

As well as her own shoe and clothing line, she has launched her own line of hair extensions with company DreamCatchers.

The aspiring actress also makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from product endorsements, and personal appearances.
