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
I only got my feet measured for a new pair of running shoes at a new running store that just opened up. You're right - I don't have to combat the Brannock device on a regular basis.
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
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
Ya I remember that. They had a pic of them in business attire I think
Edit: Here is that post:

Same person
Dope, they'll go down in Lemmy history for having funny proportions
Yes, I remember this too! 😂
You know it's become a personal beef when you know the trade name of the device that insults you.
Haha yes indeed. You don't know me Brannock device! Some men have footlets and that's okay.
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.
Probably not your shoe box, though.>
Oh no, you didn't
Haha bro thanks. And you're right my shoe box would be too small for any baby!
Those feet must look like hooves.
I'm imagining it and that sounds hot
Gender binary is bs anyway
Do your feet hurt a lot? It sounds like a lot of pressure on a small area
Good question. You would think but my calf and foot muscles are quite strong to compensate for what I lack in foot surface area. They do get sore after a long day but nothing too crazy.
You have different shoe sizes for men and women? WTF?
Where do you live that they don't?
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.
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, that's why you still have mens and womens sections in the shoe shop. But it definitively makes it easier e.g. to find a shoe for a woman with wide feet, just take a mens' sneaker in the same size.
Can we see a pic of your feet with your legs in the shot too? This is very interesting
Unclear if on topic, or foot fetish.
Dear feet lovers: does size matter? Actually curious if you care about that.
Foot enthusiast here, For me it's more about the shape and if they are well cared for.
Edit: It's also about how she uses the feet ;)
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
my sister's foot size is 12. She has larger feet than me and I'm AMAB
