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.

Well? Is what they say about big feet true of the inverse?

Do your feet hurt a lot? It sounds like a lot of pressure on a small area

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 72 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good question. You would think but my calf and foot muscles are quite strong to compensate for what I lack in foot surface area. They do get sore after a long day but nothing too crazy.

[–] TimboSlice@discuss.online 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Edit: Here is that post:

You have different shoe sizes for men and women? WTF?

[–] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Where do you live that they don't?

[–] weirdboy@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago (13 children)

In Japan everyone knows their shoe size in centimeters. Those stay the same regardless of gender or whatever other crazy unrelated topic to how big something is.

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

size in centimeters

Measuring like that would be even easier in the US, where the answer would always be simply "one foot".

Just so you know: Women shoes are different in both width and length*.

Probably because men often need wider shoes.

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 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Have you looked into shoe inserts that essentially reduce the size of the shoe interior? My friend has extremely small feet and faces a similar problem of not finding shoes that are small enough, and I think she's had some luck with the inserts

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Dude this is insane. First I feel like you'd be more prone to falling over or something? Like top heavy?? But on the other hand you can probably go up most stairs without feeling like you're about to fall to your death. I have average foot size for my height and all stairs I have to be on my tip toes. Honestly have wished I had smaller feet many times in my life. Thanks for sharing! Not something I ever thought was a thing.

If your feet stay the same size why don’t you just order online? I know testing them out can be nice, but you can return online orders.

I can’t remember the last time I went shoe shopping in person, because I know my size and which companies I need a larger or smaller size shoe for. Also why would they keep measuring you if you know?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're right I usually do buy online. I only went in to a fancy running store that just opened up because I do run and was wondering if they had anything other than youth sizes so they had to measure me (and I took this photo because I thought it was hilarious). They did in fact have a better running shoe for me!

Does it cause issues with balance?

If I were in your shoes (lol) I'd freak people out by wearing bigger sizes and stabbing through the toe ala Mr deeds
