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!
Read through the comments because I just assumed this was some sizing scale I wasn't familiar with, but nope. US size 3! That's wild. I'm 6'3, size 13 wide. I never really got to wear kids shoes, so I was always jealous of the other kids who had wheelies and stuff.
Dude, for me, get a pair of wheelies. Live my dream for a day, alright?
Also, you mention your hands are also small. Does that cause any issues for you? Youve answered a million questions about your feet, but I'm curious if your smaller hands cause you pain when carrying things, do they make it harder to type? Any advantages? Are Pringles cans much more enjoyable for you?
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I'll definitely wear some wheelies for you bro. Have to admit I'm pretty jealous of your size 13 wides...I wish I could get a decent pair of adult running shoes like you could I'm sure. So with my hands I've found playing some instruments quite difficult - especially guitar where I've struggled to play some chords and needed to get a 3/4 size guitar. Hand shakes are also awkward - both men's and women's hands can kind of dwarf my own. But yes, I guess the benefit is that my hands are much more nimble - I can easily reach things under the fridge and am pretty handy despite my handlets.
Have you considered shopping women's running shoes? There are many gender neutral color schemes among various brands (Brooks, Nike) that are available in a women's size 5.
The other advantage that you may not have noticed, is that your sense of balance is rock solid on anything other than your feet. I'm 6'3", and wear a size 8.5 US. I haven't fallen in decades because I mostly run around on my E-bike, and I can ride that thing, or my normal 10 speed, with no hands just fine.
So my foot is 21 cm or 8.25" from heel to the tip of my toes. I don't think his foot could be 4.33 times as long as that! I wonder what others' foot lengths are?
That's not how that unit works. American shoe sizes are based on the size of a barleycorn! It's not weird and confusing or a pointless, arbitrary tradition that should have been replaced years ago or anything!
