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!
Don’t worry, variation in a population is expected. Even if you’re an outlier, that doesn’t make you weird!
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!
Haha size 10 and size 3 are a world away but thank you I appreciate your optimism! I’m not bad at tennis!
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!
Haha thanks! Yes - I’ve never met a man or woman with smaller feet than me in my life.
JAAAAAMES Baxter!
I was born clubfooted and mine are smaller than average (for 5’11").
Length-wise I’m probably technically around a 7, but I have a super high arch that prevents me from wearing shoes that size.
I end up wearing anywhere from 7.5-9 depending on the fit. The toes of my shoes almost always end up curling up over time due to the extra empty space.
Do your feet hurt frequently?
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.
Read through the comments because I just assumed this was some sizing scale I wasn’t familiar with, but nope. US size 3! That’s wild. I’m 6’3, size 13 wide. I never really got to wear kids shoes, so I was always jealous of the other kids who had wheelies and stuff.
Dude, for me, get a pair of wheelies. Live my dream for a day, alright?
Also, you mention your hands are also small. Does that cause any issues for you? Youve answered a million questions about your feet, but I’m curious if your smaller hands cause you pain when carrying things, do they make it harder to type? Any advantages? Are Pringles cans much more enjoyable for you?
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I’ll definitely wear some wheelies for you bro. Have to admit I’m pretty jealous of your size 13 wides…I wish I could get a decent pair of adult running shoes like you could I’m sure. So with my hands I’ve found playing some instruments quite difficult - especially guitar where I’ve struggled to play some chords and needed to get a 3/4 size guitar. Hand shakes are also awkward - both men’s and women’s hands can kind of dwarf my own. But yes, I guess the benefit is that my hands are much more nimble - I can easily reach things under the fridge and am pretty handy despite my handlets.
Have you considered shopping women’s running shoes? There are many gender neutral color schemes among various brands (Brooks, Nike) that are available in a women’s size 5.
The other advantage that you may not have noticed, is that your sense of balance is rock solid on anything other than your feet. I’m 6’3", and wear a size 8.5 US. I haven’t fallen in decades because I mostly run around on my E-bike, and I can ride that thing, or my normal 10 speed, with no hands just fine.
I’m 6’3, size 13 wide.
So are your shoes 4.33 times as long as his, or is that not how those units work?
So my foot is 21 cm or 8.25" from heel to the tip of my toes. I don’t think his foot could be 4.33 times as long as that! I wonder what others’ foot lengths are?
I will measure and report back!
That’s not how that unit works. American shoe sizes are based on the size of a barleycorn! It’s not weird and confusing or a pointless, arbitrary tradition that should have been replaced years ago or anything!
Adult heelys exist, friend. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
Edit: Just found out that there are adult heelys that also light up. First bright point of this year discovered.
How do you find shoes? I imagine there’s not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.
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.
Wow. I can’t compute that size really but yes they’re certainly very dependable in all sizes.
And I thought my life was hard with size 14’s.
Anything above 13 is really hard to find, I feel you.
velcro is super good tho. should be on more adult size shoes. velcro doesn’t come loose by itself (then dipping into dirt), doesn’t get caught on things or in machines and doesn’t rip in the worst possible moment when you’re in a hurry. it’s just a bit harder to clean.
Agreed of course. My Velcro Optimus Prime sandals are an old stand by -
they are so cool. i’m thinking about getting some that blink when i walk. i had some like 30 years ago, when they were new and it was a lot of fun in the dark
Running shoes and dress shoes are particularly frustrating though. Sneakers in a size 3 are not designed for the wear and tear a 6’1" man is going to put them through so I’m buying a new pair every few months. Dress shoes as well are hard to find in designs that don’t look like clunky Communion shoes.
Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?
Yes thinking about getting some dress shoes custom made but haven’t got around to it yet.
That means you have small pp as well. Sorry bro.

Nah, big pp because he has more blood flow to spare.
Nah that part of me was spared fortunately
You must feel like a god while cranking it then. Like you have the biggest hog in the west lol
How often does this come up, in all seriousness?
I assume online we’re all going to make the joke, which means we’re all gonna think it in real life … but how many people comment it?
Also, how often have you been egged on to “prove” it
If it’s anything like me, a similarly tall man with LARGER feet that look almost Clown-proportional even with me height: a lot, but never seriously enough for it to mean anything fun or funny happens
Do your smaller-than-average feet have any appreciable effect on your mobility? If not, I have to wonder why we need these clown-ass feet at all. Waste of meat and leather.
Footing is important for melee combat. All the small-foots got killed off in the middle ages because it’s hard to defend yourself when you fall down a lot.
No not significantly. Obviously I’ve always secretly wondered this as well. I could not imagine walking around in size 7s…let alone size 10s or size 13s! That just seems like so much foot to me. I feel like I’d be stubbing my toes all over the place and they’d be so heavy as well. Saying this, I know that no one could possibly understand this as I’m the odd one out here…but yeah, to me everyone has absolutely (too?) massive feet.
My partner has size 15-16 feet, depending on the shoe manufacturer. Can confirm, he smacks his toes and feet into things all the time.
For international readers, that’s a size 2 in UK/Australia, and approximately a size 33.5 - 34 European.
Apparently it’s also roughly a 210 - 215 mondopoint length.
Also a body height of 1.85m, to make the conversion of units complete
Thanks for the conversion guys.
34? That’s child sized feet?
How big is your penis.
Well… OP…?
About 6" so pretty normal I think
I’m surprised you answered this honestly. I mean we’re all thinking it but I wasn’t gonna ask.
That’s a fairly standard girth, how about length?
“about a foot”
A size 3 foot
That’s the joke I was going for - didn’t seem to land, unfortunately.
They asked about length, not what it smelled like.
It must feel huge though! That’s what counts!
As an example… Pointing at my elbow…do you ever feel pain here in the morning? I do, bit sure as hell you don’t, cuz that’s my elbow.
Small hands are a blessing in disguise.
That is indeed mildly interesting
I thought you might think so!
Not just for your height, most Heights. Does it ever lead to balance issues?
Sometimes. I can walk and run fine because my calves and foot muscles I think have grown bigger to compensate. But still trip all the time. Windy days are not my friend.
Calf raises must be a bitch without the leverage lol
I think the shorter lever would actually mean it’s easier but doesn’t lift as high, right?
Uhh… so who’s going to ask…?
OK, I will:
OP, how big are your nipples?
Pretty average bro
Nice. Me and you bud, in the average nipple club.
PENIS.
Penis penis penis penis penis.
Penis.
I could be in the average penis club as well. Luckily I have ridiculously small hands so by comparison I’m Ron Jeremy.
