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.

Does your cock run down to your knee or your ankle

Ankle of course man

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

Also, were you great at sports? Tremendous even? Everyone says it. Not like crooked Hillary

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla 2 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How do you even find shoes that fit?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Okay Mr. Sinclair.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Beware thin ice!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Appreciated, thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

5'10 is 177cm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

maybe log off and do some irl stuff?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Fair. I must've missed the others.
