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.

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?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The feet might not change, but shoe sizes are not consistent. Even two shoes of the same make, model, and size can differ. When your feet are very small, the tolerances are also very small.

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.

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

Ya I remember that. They had a pic of them in business attire I think

Edit: Here is that post:

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Where do you live that they don't?

[–] weirdboy@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week 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 week 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.

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

My size (9) is constantly sold out. I was wondering if you experience fewer sold-out issues with your size.

[–] zerosignal@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm on the opposite end as OP, I wear size 14. They are very hard to find since most manufacturers and shoe stores only go up to 13, and a lot of the ones that go to higher have a very limited selection in larger sizes. I would imagine it's similar at the lower end of shoe sizes.

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

OP is a Rob Liefeld character.

In all seriousness I hope you can find a decent specialty store that will get you comfy/stylish/both shoes.

[–] gon@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I used to know a guy they called "Princess" because he had slightly smaller feet than average. He was a little short, very manly beard, muscular frame, deep voice. His feet weren't even notably small or anything; he played football and you couldn't really tell they were anything to write home about at all. Because they weren't. He wore a size 40 I think, that's like size 7 US. And yet: Princess.

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 16 points 1 week ago

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

[–] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you have small hands too?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 31 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Yes they are. Like 5 3/4" in length which I think is pretty small. Luckily this issue didn't affect any other parts of me!

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you knew folks were going to ask. good for you for getting ahead of it. hehe

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 13 points 1 week ago

Oh they always do! It's all good I'm used to it!

Oh I was just trying to find a way to work that question about your dick into the conversation naturally.
