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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 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.

Where would you find steel toed boots, I haven't seen a child miner section section at most Walmarts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

It is impossible to find steel toed boots in a size 3 I will tell you that much

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day 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

I bet your stiltwalking skills are exemplary.
