I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.
Those feet must look like hooves.
I’m imagining it and that sounds hot
Can we see a pic of your feet with your legs in the shot too? This is very interesting
Why the hell not?
Those kickers look pretty normal!
Unclear if on topic, or foot fetish.
Corn likea da feet
Dear feet lovers: does size matter? Actually curious if you care about that.
I swear to fuck there was another lemmy user that was really tall but had like size 4 feet and there was a pretty cool AMA
Ya I remember that. They had a pic of them in business attire I think
Edit: Here is that post:

Dope, they’ll go down in Lemmy history for having funny proportions
Wow dude, that’s crazy. Like, in a cool way.
My great-uncle was very small when he was born - the family story is that he used to sleep in a shoe box instead of a crib until he was almost a year old.
Probably not your shoe box, though.
Haha bro thanks. And you’re right my shoe box would be too small for any baby!
Maybe the one from Slingblade
Some folks call it a Sling Blade, I call it a Kaiser Blade.
Mmmmmhm
Probably not your shoe box, though.>
Oh no, you didn’t
Are those Iron Man socks?
They’re just some random crayfish socks. I don’t have Ironman but have most other superhero socks, including my fave Spiderman socks
Heck yeah man, I wish they made Spiderman socks in my size!

My size (9) is constantly sold out. I was wondering if you experience fewer sold-out issues with your size.
I’m on the opposite end as OP, I wear size 14. They are very hard to find since most manufacturers and shoe stores only go up to 13, and a lot of the ones that go to higher have a very limited selection in larger sizes. I would imagine it’s similar at the lower end of shoe sizes.
Same problem here with size 13. Most stores maybe have a couple available in my size so I mostly just wear Nike since they consistently have my size available.
Yes can confirm it’s very hard to find age appropriate shoes in my size. Most are Velcro or have glitter or superheroes on them which is fine - I definitely have some of these as “house shoes” but finding proper dress shoes or boots is very tricky. Running shoes are also difficult to find as I’m below the threshold for women’s sizes.
Where would you find steel toed boots, I haven’t seen a child miner section section at most Walmarts
It is impossible to find steel toed boots in a size 3 I will tell you that much
I used to know a guy they called “Princess” because he had slightly smaller feet than average. He was a little short, very manly beard, muscular frame, deep voice. His feet weren’t even notably small or anything; he played football and you couldn’t really tell they were anything to write home about at all. Because they weren’t. He wore a size 40 I think, that’s like size 7 US. And yet: Princess.
Yes I sympathize. Kids and teenagers like to pick up on any kind of difference so you can imagine what they made of my size 3 feet even at a time when I was struggling to come to terms with it. It all seems stupid in retrospect like my feet aren’t deformed I’m just small pawed and really only a few inches smaller than “normal” feet but at the time it was the worst thing in the world
Are you built like a pirate from the knees down?
Dude this is insane. First I feel like you’d be more prone to falling over or something? Like top heavy?? But on the other hand you can probably go up most stairs without feeling like you’re about to fall to your death. I have average foot size for my height and all stairs I have to be on my tip toes. Honestly have wished I had smaller feet many times in my life. Thanks for sharing! Not something I ever thought was a thing.
I think that’s the normal way of walking upstairs. I bet even OP does it.
I thought the normal way was to crawl up on all fours like an animal
My balance is not too bad actually my body has had my whole life to adjust to its situation with my feet. I also go up stairs quickly on my tip toes but yeah I do always feel that stairs have ample room for my feet. Another positive is I pretty much never stub my toes.
I had a girlfriend who had the inverse of your problem — her feet were far too large for shoes aimed at women. She ended up becoming friends with a bunch of drag queens, and finding that the specialist store they got their shoes from was the best place for her
I have this problem, but width only, not overall size.
I just wear men’s shoes, and even those are wicked hard to find. There isn’t really a category of shoes for my size (not big enough overall for drag shoes to be right, but far too wide for normally sized women’s shoes - I wear 6-8 [brand dependent] 4EW in men’s) and I’m not willing to spend a fortune on shoes to have cute custom ones made, so men’s shoes and sandals are my options. Boring.
Okay Hank Hill.
Did you call her L?
Peggy Hill!
You know it’s become a personal beef when you know the trade name of the device that insults you.
Haha yes indeed. You don’t know me Brannock device! Some men have footlets and that’s okay.
I think the word is “footsies”. /s
Some men have footlets and that’s okay.
What an odd childrens book this would be.

my shoe size is “only 13” , 6’3 (converted fod you Americans) but the arch is very sharp which makes it annoying to shop for new ones .
How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?
That’s what you get when you don’t use the metric system
