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!
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.
