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.

Do your feet hurt after a long day of standing/walking like being at an airport or something?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yes they do. But I don't know if it's any worse than a "normal-footed" human's feet.

Do they get sore all the time? That sounds like a lot of weight on not much area.

What's shoe shopping like? I have a friend with size 6 or 7 feet and he says he often find cheaper shoes because he gets away with buying kids versions of sneakers. On the other hand I've got wide feet so my options are often limited.

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?

[-] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.
