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!

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

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

      Haha why is this so true? Luckily whatever made my hands and feet lilliputian didn’t affect any other part of my body.

        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.

    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.

    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.

          Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?

        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.

        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.

    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.

      Sometimes. I can walk and run fine because my calves and foot muscles I think have grown bigger to compensate. But still trip all the time. Windy days are not my friend.

    Does having such small feet for an adult cause issues with foot pain? Since you need to buy children’s shoes, do they properly support your feet and your adult weight? Are there any unexpected advantages to having such compact feet? (I occasionally have to traverse stairs sideways because of my feet.)

      My feet can ache a bit after a long day or a run but I don’t think significantly worse than normal footed people. I do have orthotics that I use for extra support. I guess one advantage is that I really do not stub my toes ever…and shoes are much cheaper for me in kid’s sizes. And I can wear light up shoes. Plus I can run pretty fast - I guess my feet are much lighter than most.

        And I can wear light up shoes.

        I was hoping to find this here somewhere lol

        I’ve always had long feet so I never even got long to wear kids shoes (and light up shoes weren’t even around yet during the short time I did lol) and was so jealous of a friend of mine who had tiny feet and could wear all the cute and sparkly and light up shoes she wanted long in to adulthood.

        If it was me, I’d absolutely be buying all the fun shoes I could afford. 😂

      Yes sometimes random strangers will comment on it which is awkward. It’s quite noticeable. In high school I used to try to wear much bigger shoes like size 7 (the biggest I could wear without them falling off me) to make it less noticeable but it hurt like hell lugging those around all day so I stopped. It’s annoying but I’m used to it I guess.

      Not as much as you’d think. I do have a foot massager stick I use after long runs but my feet are pretty sturdy.

    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!
