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.
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.
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
Do you have some sort of growth plate deformity? Do you not have growth plates in your feet? I’m disinclined to believe you’re over six feet with feet even smaller than me, in a size 4 in men’s but I’m a 5’2” woman… get size and locomotion are inherently connected, do you use walking canes or a wheelchair? I don’t see how this is possible if you’re otherwise normal sized
What's shoe shopping like? I have a friend with size 6 or 7 feet and he says he often find cheaper shoes because he gets away with buying kids versions of sneakers. On the other hand I've got wide feet so my options are often limited.
My size (9) is constantly sold out. I was wondering if you experience fewer sold-out issues with your size.
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!
While I'm 5'9 (176cm) with size 12 ( man 45 europe ) shoes since I was 15/16 ( same height and foot size since that age )
Haha same here. I'm around 5'6 or 5'7 and I find depending on make, I'm either size 11 or 12 shoes. Also have pretty big hands (or long fingers at least). I've always thought of my hands and feet as big puppy paws that I never grew into lmao.
Don't bother...my gf has small feet also and we go shopping in kid's department/shop
Same. Sometimes it's the same shoe at a discount, other times kids shoes are lower quality.
Or if you're into it, they can light up with each step
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.
they literally just said they've been the same size since grade school. this is what you do: -go into shoe store. -grab pair of shoes in same size you currently wear. -too big? grab a size down. too small? go up. -stand in line and purchase shoes -leave store with dignity in tact from small feet shame
***BONUS POINTS if an employee tries to help you and you tell them "I'm okay, i can handle it."
Gender binary is bs anyway
