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.

As a woman, I think it's stupid that shoes are gendered in the first place. My shoe size is in the realm that exists for both men's and women's shoes. So in shoe stores I can grab the same sneakers from the women's and the men's section. Just sort the damn shoes by size and let people pick the ones they like ffs.

The first few decades of my life I assumed that there'd been all sorts of important orthopaedic/podiatry research done into the difference between men and women's feet, gaits etc that meant wearing sports shoes sold as "women's" would in some way cause my feet long term harm. Nope, it was bullshit marketing all along.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if on average women's feet were narrower than men's, but even if that's the case, just make narrow and wide versions of shoes and let people pick the ones that fit their feet. Surely there are men with narrow feet and women with wide feet. It just makes no sense.

Not just shoes, all clothes. We can come up with better terms, like tapered or straight line. Whatever would be most descriptive. It’s ridiculous.

Do you happen to sprain your ankles often? Just wondered if it felt like you were less balanced than other similarly sized men or did your brain just adjust and accommodate for the lack of leverage naturally subconsciously?

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

I have sprained my ankles in the past but not since I was a teenager...maybe adjusting to my growth spurt when I was still wearing size 1s haha. Now I'm fine I guess I have adjusted. Of course, I've never been normal-footed so don't have a point of reference but yeah I'm not falling over myself like a newborn fawn as you may think.

Get me a small man’s foot-suit, please.

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

I get the reference!

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

Be careful what you wish for. Small feet on a man mean you'll be sentenced to a life of small dick jokes. Which is certainly not the worst thing in the world but it isn't great.

My message was a tenuous reference to Flight of the Conchords (New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-comedy duo). So it’s understandable that it was misunderstood, however, I did appreciate your thoughtful response.

Here’s the song if you need a laugh: https://youtu.be/yjfSZu246zE

Well? Is what they say about big feet true of the inverse?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Yes. Small socks.

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

Tell us the damming truth!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

No honestly I can't say it is. I have small hands but other than that totally average.

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

Those feet must look like hooves.

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

I'm imagining it and that sounds hot

Skinny 5'3 guy here. I've had that experience buying pants. "Maybe you'll find something in the kids' section".

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

180cm tall guy, with longl back and short legs. Actually knowing it's impossible to find pants that are short enough has made buying them easier. Once I accept I need to take them to a seamstress to have them shortened anyway, I just need to find a pair with the right width.

Sadly no such simple solution for most shirts out there being too short.

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

Get a sewing maching, even better, an overlock. Buy the bigger/longer size and sew them thinner. Its surprisingly not that hard.

Those are not bad. They fit better and honestly look better. Tight shirts shouldn't only be for buff guys.
