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!

    You want some of mine? I’m a size 12 and it’s hard to find shoes in 12. Most places carry a smaller selection, so I can usually find shoes, just not shoes I want.

      I’m always yelling out “who are these men with tiny feet!?” In frustration while shopping. I’m 5,11” but wear size 12. The worst part is I didn’t realize I was a comfortable 12 until well into adulthood. I used to buy 11 and thought they were supposed to be snug, my feet hurt a lot. I bought a pair of 12 high top adidas and my feet feel so much better

      Even worse. I wear size 12 and a half. Surprise! They don’t make half sizes after 12… So, either swimming in a 13, or super snug in a 12.

      This guy… jerks it, looks at his kiddie feet, busts nut. Clearly a pedo, sorry I don’t make the rules. I got a small dick and size 13s so that makes me chris Hanson pretty much

        How often does this come up, in all seriousness?

        I assume online we’re all going to make the joke, which means we’re all gonna think it in real life … but how many people comment it?

        Also, how often have you been egged on to “prove” it

          If it’s anything like me, a similarly tall man with LARGER feet that look almost Clown-proportional even with me height: a lot, but never seriously enough for it to mean anything fun or funny happens

    For international readers, that’s a size 2 in UK/Australia, and approximately a size 33.5 - 34 European.

    Apparently it’s also roughly a 210 - 215 mondopoint length.

    Do your smaller-than-average feet have any appreciable effect on your mobility? If not, I have to wonder why we need these clown-ass feet at all. Waste of meat and leather.

      No not significantly. Obviously I’ve always secretly wondered this as well. I could not imagine walking around in size 7s…let alone size 10s or size 13s! That just seems like so much foot to me. I feel like I’d be stubbing my toes all over the place and they’d be so heavy as well. Saying this, I know that no one could possibly understand this as I’m the odd one out here…but yeah, to me everyone has absolutely (too?) massive feet.

        My partner has size 15-16 feet, depending on the shoe manufacturer. Can confirm, he smacks his toes and feet into things all the time.

      Footing is important for melee combat. All the small-foots got killed off in the middle ages because it’s hard to defend yourself when you fall down a lot.

    Read through the comments because I just assumed this was some sizing scale I wasn’t familiar with, but nope. US size 3! That’s wild. I’m 6’3, size 13 wide. I never really got to wear kids shoes, so I was always jealous of the other kids who had wheelies and stuff.

    Dude, for me, get a pair of wheelies. Live my dream for a day, alright?

    Also, you mention your hands are also small. Does that cause any issues for you? Youve answered a million questions about your feet, but I’m curious if your smaller hands cause you pain when carrying things, do they make it harder to type? Any advantages? Are Pringles cans much more enjoyable for you?

      Adult heelys exist, friend. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

      Edit: Just found out that there are adult heelys that also light up. First bright point of this year discovered.

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I’ll definitely wear some wheelies for you bro. Have to admit I’m pretty jealous of your size 13 wides…I wish I could get a decent pair of adult running shoes like you could I’m sure. So with my hands I’ve found playing some instruments quite difficult - especially guitar where I’ve struggled to play some chords and needed to get a 3/4 size guitar. Hand shakes are also awkward - both men’s and women’s hands can kind of dwarf my own. But yes, I guess the benefit is that my hands are much more nimble - I can easily reach things under the fridge and am pretty handy despite my handlets.

        The other advantage that you may not have noticed, is that your sense of balance is rock solid on anything other than your feet. I’m 6’3", and wear a size 8.5 US. I haven’t fallen in decades because I mostly run around on my E-bike, and I can ride that thing, or my normal 10 speed, with no hands just fine.

        So my foot is 21 cm or 8.25" from heel to the tip of my toes. I don’t think his foot could be 4.33 times as long as that! I wonder what others’ foot lengths are?

        That’s not how that unit works. American shoe sizes are based on the size of a barleycorn! It’s not weird and confusing or a pointless, arbitrary tradition that should have been replaced years ago or anything!

    One of the few times I’ve seen someone with a smaller shoe size than myself, having a woman’s 5.5 or there abouts. But it’s fine for the rest of me. Good luck! I hope they continue to uh. Be feet? Yep!
