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!
Do your feet hurt frequently?
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.
How do you find shoes? I imagine there’s not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.
Mostly online. Women’s sizes are all too big so can only wear kid’s sizes. The trick is finding something without Velcro and superheroes all over it (though I have a cool pair of Optimus Prime sandals just because I can). Converse and Vans are reliable.
As a 6’3” guy with size 16 feet, I have arrived at the same conclusion over here at the opposite end of the bell curve. Love my Converse and Vans.
Where are you getting converse that size? I’m size 15 and the website doesn’t seem to offer it, never seen it in stores.
Found mine online. Usually it’s only two or three styles that go that high. You have to dig. Vans I found at a Vans store in a mall. It’s always a crapshoot, maybe one time in ten they’ll have anything. I always walk in whenever I’m there and just ask “what’s the biggest size you have available in store?” Usually 13 is the limit. Occasionally I find something worth buying. Usually it’s the most plain and boring shoe you can imagine, but last time I found something I actually liked.
I have yet to find a shoe I liked since I was fully grown. Guess I’ll look harder.
I can fit into a 14w and suffer a bit, so theres one shoe still at Walmart that’s my default, but its a full on “this is what old men wear” style, pretty tired of it.
Wow. I can’t compute that size really but yes they’re certainly very dependable in all sizes.
And I thought my life was hard with size 14’s.
Anything above 13 is really hard to find, I feel you.
velcro is super good tho. should be on more adult size shoes. velcro doesn’t come loose by itself (then dipping into dirt), doesn’t get caught on things or in machines and doesn’t rip in the worst possible moment when you’re in a hurry. it’s just a bit harder to clean.
Agreed of course. My Velcro Optimus Prime sandals are an old stand by -
they are so cool. i’m thinking about getting some that blink when i walk. i had some like 30 years ago, when they were new and it was a lot of fun in the dark
Running shoes and dress shoes are particularly frustrating though. Sneakers in a size 3 are not designed for the wear and tear a 6’1" man is going to put them through so I’m buying a new pair every few months. Dress shoes as well are hard to find in designs that don’t look like clunky Communion shoes.
Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?
Yes thinking about getting some dress shoes custom made but haven’t got around to it yet.
I was born clubfooted and mine are smaller than average (for 5’11").
Length-wise I’m probably technically around a 7, but I have a super high arch that prevents me from wearing shoes that size.
I end up wearing anywhere from 7.5-9 depending on the fit. The toes of my shoes almost always end up curling up over time due to the extra empty space.
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!
Haha thanks! Yes - I’ve never met a man or woman with smaller feet than me in my life.
Uhh… so who’s going to ask…?
OK, I will:
OP, how big are your nipples?
Pretty average bro
Nice. Me and you bud, in the average nipple club.
PENIS.
Penis penis penis penis penis.
Penis.
I could be in the average penis club as well. Luckily I have ridiculously small hands so by comparison I’m Ron Jeremy.

Don’t worry, variation in a population is expected. Even if you’re an outlier, that doesn’t make you weird!
How big is your penis.
Well… OP…?
About 6" so pretty normal I think
That’s a fairly standard girth, how about length?
“about a foot”
They asked about length, not what it smelled like.
A size 3 foot
That’s the joke I was going for - didn’t seem to land, unfortunately.
I’m surprised you answered this honestly. I mean we’re all thinking it but I wasn’t gonna ask.
It must feel huge though! That’s what counts!
As an example… Pointing at my elbow…do you ever feel pain here in the morning? I do, bit sure as hell you don’t, cuz that’s my elbow.
Small hands are a blessing in disguise.
Im 6’1 and size 14. I hate buying shoes lol.
That means you have small pp as well. Sorry bro.
deleted by creator
Nah, big pp because he has more blood flow to spare.
Nah that part of me was spared fortunately
You must feel like a god while cranking it then. Like you have the biggest hog in the west lol
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
you know what they say about small feet…small socks
Yup have to specially order them it’s a pain
Forgive my ignorance here, but is there fitment issues with wearing ‘kids’ socks?
No they fit really well. If I wore men’s or women’s socks they’d be literally sliding off my feet!
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.
Also a body height of 1.85m, to make the conversion of units complete
Thanks for the conversion guys.
34? That’s child sized feet?
Do people mention it much?
Yes sometimes random strangers will comment on it which is awkward. It’s quite noticeable. In high school I used to try to wear much bigger shoes like size 7 (the biggest I could wear without them falling off me) to make it less noticeable but it hurt like hell lugging those around all day so I stopped. It’s annoying but I’m used to it I guess.
I appreciate you sharing. It’s a huge weight to have to carry throughout the years. I imagine childhood was rough which breaks my heart. People can be cruel and that leaves scars. I really hope you have some people in your life who see you for you without treating you the way so many have in the past. People you feel safe and comfortable around.
Not just for your height, most Heights. Does it ever lead to balance issues?
Sometimes. I can walk and run fine because my calves and foot muscles I think have grown bigger to compensate. But still trip all the time. Windy days are not my friend.
Calf raises must be a bitch without the leverage lol
I think the shorter lever would actually mean it’s easier but doesn’t lift as high, right?
Size 3 US? That’s tiny!
Yes size 3 US. Another angle:
Compared to my friend’s size 10 the difference is quite dramatic
My brain keeps telling me it’s some kind of forced perspective, seeing how your foot looks normal and the shoe abnormally big.
That’s definitely how the world seems to me…everyone is Bigfoot! I do have more photos of size differences of course but I don’t want to subject you all to more photos of my deformed feet.
The pics with the shoes on, they really don’t look noticeable. But yeah that one you could definitely tell. Also, your hands don’t look small at all. Compared to your body they really look proportional. And this is very interesting, not mildly! I wouldn’t mind seeing more pictures, and I’m sure people wouldn’t as well, as long as you’re ok sharing.
Thanks! This is a shot just on a ferry - this guy was shorter than me I think maybe size 11 feet?
And my feet from the side in size 9 shoes
Compared to a random print in the snow…
And my foot measured…
Wow, that’s wild! Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate you sharing these and being open about it. Nothing beats confidence!
Dang, today OP was a cool guy and totally delivered. Thanks for answering so many questions and being such a great sport. You’re a valuable member of this community and we need more people like you online.
I wasn’t going to ask for shoeless foot pics because that feels weird, but thanks for doing so. Curiosity sated.
It’s cool…I get it.
These pictures are crazy. You weren’t kidding!
