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.

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

How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?

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

Size 3? You have peg legs.

So I'm not sure if you know this, but in the US the big kids sizes and the adult men's sizes are the same. For example, a men's 5 is the same as a big kid's 5.

Next time you need to use a Brannock device and you're sized out, have them get the one for the kids.

I haven't had my feet measured since I was a kid wtf?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do your feet hurt after a long day of standing/walking like being at an airport or something?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yes they do. But I don't know if it's any worse than a "normal-footed" human's feet.

so do mine, but i'm a woman who's shorter than you with size 20 billion feet

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

I wonder if it's a function of total surface area or if it's more about the weight pressing on your ankles...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shoes must be cheap then lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's what I was going to say. Kids shoes are cheaper.

I'm 5'10" with a size 14 shoe, and it's frustrating because they stop making half sizes above 12 which means it's often difficult to find a good fitting shoe. I also have a 6'5" wingspan so shirts always either have too short of sleeves, or they are way too long on the torso.

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

I HATE that about having big feet, I'm on my feet all day and it doesn't matter if I go up one or down, my feet are going to hurt, just in different ways.

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

Damn that sucks. You need a dedicated clothes manufacturer lol

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

I also assume that kids shoes don't last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.

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

I can 100% attest to this. Kids shoes are cheap because they're cheap.

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

Yeah that makes sense, I doubt they're designed to handle the weight of a grown man, even a fit one.

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don't think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

—what size?

—three

—... please come this way

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

Speak for yourself... I use my Brannock device each morning to check my feet and see if my junk got bigger from the chemicals.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I don't think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it's easy to check for yourself.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Cause it takes about 30 seconds and makes sure you actually have the right size shoe.

Gender binary is bs anyway
