190

As a baby I was born with a pituitary issue which meant my hands and feet were abnormally small. They never grew that large at all. I can run and walk fine and they're not deformed or anything, just tiny. I might have some hilarious world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult! Luckily my condition hasn't affected any other part of my body.

Really brave of you to share this with us. I bet posting it was no small feet.

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You know what they say about men with big hands... They have huge >!nostrils!<.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

That’s just perspective. Your feet appear tiny as they are so far away.

Does your cock run down to your knee or your ankle

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 38 points 3 days ago

Ankle of course man

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 days ago

You have the biggest hands. Some might say the best hands. A doctor once told you they were the greatest hands he has ever seen

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Little raccoon hands from the greatest technician that ever lived

Do you have to pay less when you order a footlong at Subway?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 31 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately no. I did get a discount foot massage once though.

Worth it. Now I wish I was born with tiny feet.

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 18 points 3 days ago

if you got clown shoes appropriate for your size, they'd look like normal shoes

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 16 points 3 days ago

What a life hack

Yes every now and then but for the most part can walk and run fine. Windy days are a killer though.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

I'd never notice it as a passer-by. I think large feet are weirder looking because I auto-associate them with clown shoes.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 13 points 3 days ago

That's wild. I'm 6.2 and my feet are 12 US.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 15 points 3 days ago

Can you give me some of your shoe size bro? Thanks.

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I am size 15 4E US, and shorter. It is hard to find gloves, shoes, and everything else that fits.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

What wind speed will cause you to topple over?

On a more serious note, have you found any particular activities or sports where your unique genetics have given you an advantage?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Not OP, but the vast majority of people would have difficulty staying standing with 80 mph gusts.

The recent LA fires were probably completely unapproachable by land or air, due to the reported 120 mph gusts that it was creating.

Alot of folks like feet inside them. Maybe he's good at that? Would fit easier than most feet.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

How hard is it to find shoes that fit properly? For me, I'm a size 13 and a lot of stores around me usually only seem to have up to 12 in stock in a lot of brands, but at least there's still some decent options past that.

Edit: nvm, I just saw someone else asked already.

[-] TheDarkestShark@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Funny, I never have trouble finding size 13, but I'm more of a 12.5. They don't sell or make them at any stores, so I can't even try them on to test out my theory. Couple years ago, I was on Amazon looking for some Merrells, and I noticed they did have a 12.5 option available, it jacked the price up from 100 to like 250. So I guess they do make them but in very limited supply.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

I get very lucky finding nice size 13 shoes at thrift stores. But yeah, almost never in store

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Locally I think the only things I found at the thrift store were rubber boots in my size. Maybe I just hit them up at the wrong times though

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

How do you even find shoes that fit?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 18 points 3 days ago

Have to just buy kid's sizes. Women's and men's shoes are too big for me. Mostly buy online...I can tell you from experience it can get weird buying in store. Converse and Vans are great as they make age appropriate shoes in my size. Dress shoes harder to find in a non-clunky style. Work boots are non-existent.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You must save a lot of money at least! I love when I find kids shoes that fit me.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 13 points 3 days ago

Im sure you could get work shoes that fit in the States now, child labour is back in there.

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Doesn't mean they're getting age or size appropriate gear. Welcome to the jungle.

[-] Curufeanor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Okay Mr. Sinclair.

[-] FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this with us!

Do you find that others notice it regularly in your daily life? I feel like I only notice other people's shoes/feet if they are wearing something flashy or if they make a lot of noise like flip flops.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 20 points 3 days ago

Yes people do notice on at least a weekly basis. The size difference is quite dramatic compared to normal sized shoes. My foot next to a pair of size 9s

And size 10

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

Holy shit this is so funny, I'm sorry OP, I wish you the best but just the juxtaposition is enough to be hysterical over.

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 11 points 3 days ago

I know I get a kick out of it too. A baby kick.

[-] Ze_Rosie_Ro@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

And I thought I was disproportionate! I’m 5’10” lady with a size 7.5 shoe, I regularly share shoes with my 5’2” sister. I am regularly off-balance, I assumed from my teeny feet, but you’re making me questions the likelihood of that.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

5'10 is..... I'm doing the math mentally, I think it's almost 190cm ? and your shoe size of 7,5, -is it expressed in inches as well ? that would make for roughly 18cm long feet, which does seems small for such a tall individual.

I'l not a neuroscientist or physician but I don't think balance has much to do with foot size. Anybody can walk fine on stilts after a day's worth of training. I think it has more to do with the inner ear

[-] GreatRam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

5'10 is 177cm

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I found this chart, but that may just be for the US division of Nike.

Apparently, each full size is equivalent to 6/16 of an inch, or 0.9 cm.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Appreciated, thanks

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

That's hilarious and I would own it so hard if I had those feet. At least you're not like nearly every other person. Also I definitely want to see a non blurry image, lol.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

Very cool, but I've seen this post 4 times now

[-] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago

maybe log off and do some irl stuff?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No I need my daily intake of all 393928 posts on the fediverse today

[-] equivocal@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Does your instance not have the option to hide posts you've seen before? Should probably turn that on rather than complain.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm complaining because it was reposted several times, which bypasses that setting

[-] equivocal@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Fair. I must've missed the others.
