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.

How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?

Do they get sore all the time? That sounds like a lot of weight on not much area.

Not as much as you would think. The body is incredibly adaptable. I have pretty strong foot and calf muscles that distribute the load I guess.

OP is a Rob Liefeld character.

In all seriousness I hope you can find a decent specialty store that will get you comfy/stylish/both shoes.

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?

That's what you get when you don't use the metric system

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.
