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 weird world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult!

Here's a photo of my foot next to my friend's size 11 foot...

This actually gave me a much better perspective, cause I couldn't really tell from the original photo. And holy crow, that's kinda wild! I would absolutely be wearing the coolest kids shoes

Does it cause you any issues with gait/balance? Or anything else most people wouldn't think about?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not as many issues as you might think. Of course, I have a smaller foot surface area to work with so not as steady on my toes but I have strong foot and calf muscles to compensate I think and keep me relatively stable. I can run fine but kid's shoes are not designed for a 6'1" 170 lb man to be running in them so I go through shoes like crazy. Mostly it's just social issues - my feet and hands are quite noticeably small so I get comments from strangers a lot. But I just try to laugh it off and be good humored about it.
