Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

How do you find shoes? I imagine there's not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.

Mostly online. Women's sizes are all too big so can only wear kid's sizes. The trick is finding something without Velcro and superheroes all over it (though I have a cool pair of Optimus Prime sandals just because I can). Converse and Vans are reliable.

As a 6’3” guy with size 16 feet, I have arrived at the same conclusion over here at the opposite end of the bell curve. Love my Converse and Vans.

Running shoes and dress shoes are particularly frustrating though. Sneakers in a size 3 are not designed for the wear and tear a 6'1" man is going to put them through so I'm buying a new pair every few months. Dress shoes as well are hard to find in designs that don't look like clunky Communion shoes.

Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?

OK, I will:

OP, how big are your nipples?

Well.....you know what they say about tall guys with tiny feet, right?

.....that they're sick of the penis size jokes.

Haha why is this so true? Luckily whatever made my hands and feet lilliputian didn't affect any other part of my body.

Not just for your height, most Heights. Does it ever lead to balance issues?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes. I can walk and run fine because my calves and foot muscles I think have grown bigger to compensate. But still trip all the time. Windy days are not my friend.

Calf raises must be a bitch without the leverage lol

Yes size 3 US. Another angle:

Compared to my friend's size 10 the difference is quite dramatic
