"souliers" is also an old-fashioned word for shoes, my grandma still says it : "Mets tes souliers." but my mum and I would say "Mets tes chaussures".
"etre dans ses petits souliers" literrally means "to be in one's small shoes", it means being in an embarassing situation. In other words, being super uncomfortable as if wearing shoes that are too tight!
"I love to wear heels" = j'aime porter des talons
