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.
Does it cause issues with balance?
If I were in your shoes (lol) I’d freak people out by wearing bigger sizes and stabbing through the toe ala Mr deeds
If your feet stay the same size why don’t you just order online? I know testing them out can be nice, but you can return online orders.
I can’t remember the last time I went shoe shopping in person, because I know my size and which companies I need a larger or smaller size shoe for. Also why would they keep measuring you if you know?
The feet might not change, but shoe sizes are not consistent. Even two shoes of the same make, model, and size can differ. When your feet are very small, the tolerances are also very small.
You’re right I usually do buy online. I only went in to a fancy running store that just opened up because I do run and was wondering if they had anything other than youth sizes so they had to measure me (and I took this photo because I thought it was hilarious). They did in fact have a better running shoe for me!
Glad you got it worked out, what kind of shoes did you end up buying if you don’t mind me asking?
My brothers feet are massive and he can never find shoes that fit properly. Mine are a bit wide, so I always have to get a size up to be comfortable, but I manage.
Do you have small hands too?
Yes they are. Like 5 3/4" in length which I think is pretty small. Luckily this issue didn’t affect any other parts of me!
you knew folks were going to ask. good for you for getting ahead of it. hehe
Oh they always do! It’s all good I’m used to it!
Do you find your foot or hand size to grant you advantages in certain niche situations (ie getting the last pringle)?
I historically found that my flat feet make barefoot walking a lot easier - big, flat contact surface distributes the pressure over a wider area, making shrp rocks less painful/likely to cut.
I have size 16 shoes.
Unfortunately this issue didn’t affect any other parts of me 😐
Wow you must be tall!
6’6", almost 2 meters!
I have size 14 shoes. I also have a large head, large hands, and a large gut. Unfortunately I also don’t have any large parts beyond that list.
Oh I was just trying to find a way to work that question about your dick into the conversation naturally.
How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?
Size 3? You have peg legs.
Yarr.
Based on your posts, I hope we learn more about you that is not about your feet :p
You could totally be a great Satyr for Halloween

With feet that are small”Untz untz untz untz
why…why do you keep getting your feet sized if they haven’t grown since childhood??? you know your size! be a man and pick out your own fucking shoes!
Shoe sizes change throughout life. At 18 i was a 4E width, at 25ish 4E was too narrow and a 6E fits better. Some people also have different variences between feet (ie, half a size difference between left and right foot)
Sizes also vary between brands/shoes.
Did you not read the Brannock device?
I haven’t had my feet measured since I was a kid wtf?
So I’m not sure if you know this, but in the US the big kids sizes and the adult men’s sizes are the same. For example, a men’s 5 is the same as a big kid’s 5.
Next time you need to use a Brannock device and you’re sized out, have them get the one for the kids.

Do your feet hurt after a long day of standing/walking like being at an airport or something?
Yes they do. But I don’t know if it’s any worse than a “normal-footed” human’s feet.
so do mine, but i’m a woman who’s shorter than you with size 20 billion feet
have you tried wearing kids size?
I pretty much can only wear kid’s sizes. But I was getting my foot measured because a new running store opened up that carries a women’s running shoe in a 5 and it runs small so with slightly thick socks I can fit in it fine. The first non-kids running shoes I’ve had in my life!
Shoes must be cheap then lol
That’s what I was going to say. Kids shoes are cheaper.
I’m 5’10" with a size 14 shoe, and it’s frustrating because they stop making half sizes above 12 which means it’s often difficult to find a good fitting shoe. I also have a 6’5" wingspan so shirts always either have too short of sleeves, or they are way too long on the torso.
I also assume that kids shoes don’t last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.
I can 100% attest to this. Kids shoes are cheap because they’re cheap.
Yeah that makes sense, I doubt they’re designed to handle the weight of a grown man, even a fit one.
Damn that sucks. You need a dedicated clothes manufacturer lol
I HATE that about having big feet, I’m on my feet all day and it doesn’t matter if I go up one or down, my feet are going to hurt, just in different ways.
