Mildly Infuriating

You know it's become a personal beef when you know the trade name of the device that insults you.

Wow dude, that's crazy. Like, in a cool way.

My great-uncle was very small when he was born - the family story is that he used to sleep in a shoe box instead of a crib until he was almost a year old.

Probably not your shoe box, though.

I had a girlfriend who had the inverse of your problem — her feet were far too large for shoes aimed at women. She ended up becoming friends with a bunch of drag queens, and finding that the specialist store they got their shoes from was the best place for her

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

As a woman, I think it's stupid that shoes are gendered in the first place. My shoe size is in the realm that exists for both men's and women's shoes. So in shoe stores I can grab the same sneakers from the women's and the men's section. Just sort the damn shoes by size and let people pick the ones they like ffs.

I'm just confused by why you keep getting your feet measured. I haven't done that since my feet stopped growing, I know my size by this point

TL:DR He says his dong is normal sized.

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don't think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

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?

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.

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

my sister's foot size is 12. She has larger feet than me and I'm AMAB

I swear to fuck there was another lemmy user that was really tall but had like size 4 feet and there was a pretty cool AMA

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

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

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