  • 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.

  • My balance is not too bad actually my body has had my whole life to adjust to its situation with my feet. I also go up stairs quickly on my tip toes but yeah I do always feel that stairs have ample room for my feet. Another positive is I pretty much never stub my toes.

  • Yes I sympathize. Kids and teenagers like to pick up on any kind of difference so you can imagine what they made of my size 3 feet even at a time when I was struggling to come to terms with it. It all seems stupid in retrospect like my feet aren't deformed I'm just small pawed and really only a few inches smaller than "normal" feet but at the time it was the worst thing in the world

  • Yes can confirm it's very hard to find age appropriate shoes in my size. Most are Velcro or have glitter or superheroes on them which is fine - I definitely have some of these as "house shoes" but finding proper dress shoes or boots is very tricky. Running shoes are also difficult to find as I'm below the threshold for women's sizes.

  • I pretty much can only wear kid's sizes. But I was getting my foot measured because a new running store opened up that carries a women's running shoe in a 5 and it runs small so with slightly thick socks I can fit in it fine. The first non-kids running shoes I've had in my life!

    I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every time they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device tells me I'm not a man

    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.

    Funny @sh.itjust.works

    I'm a 6'1" (185 cm) man with stupidly small size 3 US (EU 34) feet. I've never met another adult with smaller feet than me. It makes me look like a reverse hobbit.

    As a baby I was born with a pituitary issue which meant my hands and feet were abnormally small. They never grew that large at all. I can run and walk fine and they're not deformed or anything, just tiny. I might have some hilarious world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult! Luckily my condition hasn't affected any other part of my body.

    I have weirdly small (size 3) feet for my height (6'1")

    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!
