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.

 

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...

Nah that part of me was spared fortunately

Yes thinking about this as a treat for my birthday coming up. I have a few pairs of kid's dress shoes but they're pretty clunky - mostly designed for kids to wear at church. Near impossible to find something more stylish.

So relatable! Love this show.

Yes that's essentially what's happened. And yes, definitely throws people off. Everyone's hands inevitably swallow mine during handshakes.

Haha yes the lower price on shoes is certainly a perk!

Thanks! This is a shot just on a ferry - this guy was shorter than me I think maybe size 11 feet?

And my feet from the side in size 9 shoes

Compared to a random print in the snow...

And my foot measured...

And superhero themed Velcro sandals!

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!
