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!

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.

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.

Where are you getting converse that size? I'm size 15 and the website doesn't seem to offer it, never seen it in stores.

Found mine online. Usually it’s only two or three styles that go that high. You have to dig. Vans I found at a Vans store in a mall. It’s always a crapshoot, maybe one time in ten they’ll have anything. I always walk in whenever I’m there and just ask “what’s the biggest size you have available in store?” Usually 13 is the limit. Occasionally I find something worth buying. Usually it’s the most plain and boring shoe you can imagine, but last time I found something I actually liked.

I have yet to find a shoe I liked since I was fully grown. Guess I'll look harder.

I can fit into a 14w and suffer a bit, so theres one shoe still at Walmart that's my default, but its a full on "this is what old men wear" style, pretty tired of it.
