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.

That's what you get when you don't use the metric system

Don't bother...my gf has small feet also and we go shopping in kid's department/shop

[-] RaccoonBall@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Same. Sometimes it's the same shoe at a discount, other times kids shoes are lower quality.

Or if you're into it, they can light up with each step

Based on your posts, I hope we learn more about you that is not about your feet :p

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Most people wear shoes that are too small.

How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

my shoe size is "only 13" , 6'3 (converted fod you Americans) but the arch is very sharp which makes it annoying to shop for new ones .

I'm size 5 men's and have trouble finding shoes, can't imagine searching for size 3

[-] Zenith@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Do you have some sort of growth plate deformity? Do you not have growth plates in your feet? I’m disinclined to believe you’re over six feet with feet even smaller than me, in a size 4 in men’s but I’m a 5’2” woman… get size and locomotion are inherently connected, do you use walking canes or a wheelchair? I don’t see how this is possible if you’re otherwise normal sized
