Yeah for sure. I wanted to go snowboarding once but the rental place only went down to a kid's size 4 which was too big for me (I'm really a size 2 without orthotics). So if I could find boots that fit, I'd be up for it!

Not as many issues as you might think. Of course, I have a smaller foot surface area to work with so not as steady on my toes but I have strong foot and calf muscles to compensate I think and keep me relatively stable. I can run fine but kid's shoes are not designed for a 6'1" 170 lb man to be running in them so I go through shoes like crazy. Mostly it's just social issues - my feet and hands are quite noticeably small so I get comments from strangers a lot. But I just try to laugh it off and be good humored about it.

Unfortunately no. I did get a discount foot massage once though.

What a life hack

Yes people do notice on at least a weekly basis. The size difference is quite dramatic compared to normal sized shoes. My foot next to a pair of size 9s

And size 10

Have to just buy kid's sizes. Women's and men's shoes are too big for me. Mostly buy online...I can tell you from experience it can get weird buying in store. Converse and Vans are great as they make age appropriate shoes in my size. Dress shoes harder to find in a non-clunky style. Work boots are non-existent.

Can you give me some of your shoe size bro? Thanks.

Ankle of course man

Yes every now and then but for the most part can walk and run fine. Windy days are a killer though.

 

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.

Haha nice! Small feet united.

Haha bro. Give my feet back.

Here's a photo of my foot next to my friend's size 11 foot...

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!
