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.

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

    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.

      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

    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.

        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

    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.

    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.

      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

    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
