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.

have you tried wearing kids size?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

I pretty much can only wear kid's sizes. But I was getting my foot measured because a new running store opened up that carries a women's running shoe in a 5 and it runs small so with slightly thick socks I can fit in it fine. The first non-kids running shoes I've had in my life!

Do you have small hands too?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Yes they are. Like 5 3/4" in length which I think is pretty small. Luckily this issue didn't affect any other parts of me!

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Oh they always do! It's all good I'm used to it!

You know it's become a personal beef when you know the trade name of the device that insults you.

Haha yes indeed. You don't know me Brannock device! Some men have footlets and that's okay.

No my forearm is bigger

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If your feet stay the same size why don’t you just order online? I know testing them out can be nice, but you can return online orders.

I can’t remember the last time I went shoe shopping in person, because I know my size and which companies I need a larger or smaller size shoe for. Also why would they keep measuring you if you know?

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

The feet might not change, but shoe sizes are not consistent. Even two shoes of the same make, model, and size can differ. When your feet are very small, the tolerances are also very small.

You're right I usually do buy online. I only went in to a fancy running store that just opened up because I do run and was wondering if they had anything other than youth sizes so they had to measure me (and I took this photo because I thought it was hilarious). They did in fact have a better running shoe for me!

Do your feet hurt a lot? It sounds like a lot of pressure on a small area

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good question. You would think but my calf and foot muscles are quite strong to compensate for what I lack in foot surface area. They do get sore after a long day but nothing too crazy.
