Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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!

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!

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!

Petite feet, feminine step

Sounds like a lady when he's walkin' in the room 🎶

Have you ever watched Andy Richter Controls the Universe? One of the episodes has a whole B plot about a main character having surprisingly small feet.

Absolutely no shade, dude. You seem like a chill guy.

But I have this stuck in my head because of this post youtube.com/watch?v=kDg0dklwW5g

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Classic. No shade assumed.

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 for sure - one of the few perks of my "condition"

Do your feet hurt frequently?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

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.

Op does this cause issues like foot pain or anything like that?
