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!

    You want some of mine? I’m a size 12 and it’s hard to find shoes in 12. Most places carry a smaller selection, so I can usually find shoes, just not shoes I want.

      I’m always yelling out “who are these men with tiny feet!?” In frustration while shopping. I’m 5,11” but wear size 12. The worst part is I didn’t realize I was a comfortable 12 until well into adulthood. I used to buy 11 and thought they were supposed to be snug, my feet hurt a lot. I bought a pair of 12 high top adidas and my feet feel so much better

    How do you find shoes? I imagine there’s not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.

      Mostly online. Women’s sizes are all too big so can only wear kid’s sizes. The trick is finding something without Velcro and superheroes all over it (though I have a cool pair of Optimus Prime sandals just because I can). Converse and Vans are reliable.

        Running shoes and dress shoes are particularly frustrating though. Sneakers in a size 3 are not designed for the wear and tear a 6’1" man is going to put them through so I’m buying a new pair every few months. Dress shoes as well are hard to find in designs that don’t look like clunky Communion shoes.

        As a 6’3” guy with size 16 feet, I have arrived at the same conclusion over here at the opposite end of the bell curve. Love my Converse and Vans.

          Where are you getting converse that size? I’m size 15 and the website doesn’t seem to offer it, never seen it in stores.

            Found mine online. Usually it’s only two or three styles that go that high. You have to dig. Vans I found at a Vans store in a mall. It’s always a crapshoot, maybe one time in ten they’ll have anything. I always walk in whenever I’m there and just ask “what’s the biggest size you have available in store?” Usually 13 is the limit. Occasionally I find something worth buying. Usually it’s the most plain and boring shoe you can imagine, but last time I found something I actually liked.

              I have yet to find a shoe I liked since I was fully grown. Guess I’ll look harder.

              I can fit into a 14w and suffer a bit, so theres one shoe still at Walmart that’s my default, but its a full on “this is what old men wear” style, pretty tired of it.

        velcro is super good tho. should be on more adult size shoes. velcro doesn’t come loose by itself (then dipping into dirt), doesn’t get caught on things or in machines and doesn’t rip in the worst possible moment when you’re in a hurry. it’s just a bit harder to clean.

    Well…you know what they say about tall guys with tiny feet, right?

    …that they’re sick of the penis size jokes.

        Ypu’re lucky! I once hook up with a huge guy, handsome, big in every way… but the penis. He had a micro penis that looked like a kids penis. I felt so bad for him. Just hook up anyway because he was good with his hands.

            I’m sorry but if you have any problems they are not mine. In no place did I pity him. We actually went out other times and he was super smart. I feel bad because I know people that would be mean to him but Pity is very different. I’m not a prostitute that would have sex with someone for pity

              That read as pity to me, but good, I’m glad it isn’t. I don’t even have a penis, so no problems here, lol.

    I noticed his shoes seemed smaller than I expected, so I looked it up: Rafael Nadal has relatively small shoes (size 10 for 6’1"), and he is widely acknowledged as the greatest clay court player of all time. Your time will come, friend!

    One of the few times I’ve seen someone with a smaller shoe size than myself, having a woman’s 5.5 or there abouts. But it’s fine for the rest of me. Good luck! I hope they continue to uh. Be feet? Yep!

    Do your smaller-than-average feet have any appreciable effect on your mobility? If not, I have to wonder why we need these clown-ass feet at all. Waste of meat and leather.

      No not significantly. Obviously I’ve always secretly wondered this as well. I could not imagine walking around in size 7s…let alone size 10s or size 13s! That just seems like so much foot to me. I feel like I’d be stubbing my toes all over the place and they’d be so heavy as well. Saying this, I know that no one could possibly understand this as I’m the odd one out here…but yeah, to me everyone has absolutely (too?) massive feet.

        My partner has size 15-16 feet, depending on the shoe manufacturer. Can confirm, he smacks his toes and feet into things all the time.

    For international readers, that’s a size 2 in UK/Australia, and approximately a size 33.5 - 34 European.

    Apparently it’s also roughly a 210 - 215 mondopoint length.

      My calf muscles and foot muscles have grown larger I think to compensate and keep me relatively balanced, but I’m still a klutz and trip all the time. Can easily lose my footing if I’m shoved in a crowd for example. But yeah for the most part can walk and run fine.
