As a baby I was born with a pituitary issue which meant my hands and feet were abnormally small. They never grew that large at all. I can run and walk fine and they're not deformed or anything, just tiny. I might have some hilarious world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult! Luckily my condition hasn't affected any other part of my body.

And I thought I was disproportionate! I’m 5’10” lady with a size 7.5 shoe, I regularly share shoes with my 5’2” sister. I am regularly off-balance, I assumed from my teeny feet, but you’re making me questions the likelihood of that.

5'10 is..... I'm doing the math mentally, I think it's almost 190cm ? and your shoe size of 7,5, -is it expressed in inches as well ? that would make for roughly 18cm long feet, which does seems small for such a tall individual.

I'l not a neuroscientist or physician but I don't think balance has much to do with foot size. Anybody can walk fine on stilts after a day's worth of training. I think it has more to do with the inner ear

I found this chart, but that may just be for the US division of Nike.

Apparently, each full size is equivalent to 6/16 of an inch, or 0.9 cm.
