Was born with super small feet in the 1st percentile as well as hands due to a benign genetic issue. Totally healthy but shoe shopping is always awkward. Have decent balance and can walk and run fine as my calf muscles are quite developed to compensate. No, the myth isn’t true.

    ffs I had to fire up Tor browser to look at the photo from the UK… I guess I’ll start using it more regularly with sites blocking the entire country in response to these overreaching new laws -.-

    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.

    At least you get to wear the cooler shoes? The big sizes usually look so boring while the kids get all the fun!

        Man I’m jealous as hell. I have a small head so I weak kids sunglasses (specifically spider man at the moment, because they are sort of like 10-year-old-boy size with nothing printed on the lense, and girl glasses for that age fuckin suck) but I would love to rock kids shoes too!

        Kids get all the cool stuff. And you, apparently.

        How many pair of light up shoes do you have?

    Whoa cool–you’re like … the opposite of a hobbit O_O
    you could complement the vibe by living in a treehouse,
    which is sort of the conceptual opposite of a hole in the ground!!

    6’-5” with size 16. I’ve met people taller with just size 11 or 13 and I’m like, damnit! Once fell out of a kayak because my feet got stuck, and when I do partner dance I gotta be so careful in closed positions like in Balboa.

    If I had to pick an extreme I’d go small.

    I was about to say, it looks like there are some bones or something missing in the front part of the foot there. Like the tendons are skipping over and attaching to something farther back than they should. And the toes seem like they aren’t allowed to stretch out fully. I think I saw that condition on some foot doctor show. Very interesting anomaly.

    I’m totally relieved to hear about your weiner though. Glad you mentioned that. ✔️

      This is another photo of my foot compared to my friend’s size 10 shoe. It’s relatively “normal” looking but just shrunk down. And yes, it is a relief that this didn’t spread to other areas.

        lol yeah, quite a difference!

        Roger that, glad you reaffirm again! I was about to ask for a DP but I feel safe again now.

        Wow yeah this shows a difference.

        I’m size ten, “like everyone in the army” (Band of Brothers reference) and like your feet or hands didn’t seem particularly small from the original photo in the post, this makes the size much clearer.

        European 43-44
