Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

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.

I feel your pain! A couple of sneaker makers have 12.5.

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

Have you ever watched Andy Richter Controls the Universe? One of the episodes has a whole B plot about a main character having surprisingly small feet.

Petite feet, feminine step

Sounds like a lady when he's walkin' in the room 🎶

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!

Don't worry, variation in a population is expected. Even if you're an outlier, that doesn't make you weird!

Does having such small feet for an adult cause issues with foot pain? Since you need to buy children's shoes, do they properly support your feet and your adult weight? Are there any unexpected advantages to having such compact feet? (I occasionally have to traverse stairs sideways because of my feet.)

Do your feet hurt frequently?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago

Not as much as you'd think. I do have a foot massager stick I use after long runs but my feet are pretty sturdy.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

JAAAAAMES Baxter!

Op does this cause issues like foot pain or anything like that?
