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 weird world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult!

    In some dark corner of the internet, there is someone willing to pay a LOT of money for videos of you doing weird shit with your feet.

        Not that dark at all. Its called OnlyFans. Although I am sure more “specific” communities more devoted to feet could yield better income. Where those are? No idea. I can barely stand the sight of my own feet without socks.

      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.

        He could be the monster in a climbing based horror franchise.

        Born with small feet, he was banished to the mountains where he turned his curse into a means for survival.

        Wide shot of a group of hunters following a trail near a rock face

        “I thought it was wolves eat’n all them sheep. Couldn’t have imagined that small feet kid lived all those years out here alone.”

        “It’s a confounding thought, Emmit, how you think that thing managed?”

        “Boy howdy, that’s the mystery of it all. Maybe we ought not to know.”

        Pan up to show small feet guy perched on a narrow rock ledge above. He jumps down, fade to black over hunters screaming.

    Glad to see you take your uniqueness in stride.

    I must have stolen your hand and foot growth. I’m 5’3 (160 cm) and wear a women’s size 12 (euro 42).

    You should snowboard! I’ve got size 12 and I’m always getting toe and heel drag when I carve too deep. But you would never need to worry about that. Fucking super power.

      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!

        This actually gave me a much better perspective, cause I couldn’t really tell from the original photo. And holy crow, that’s kinda wild! I would absolutely be wearing the coolest kids shoes

        Does it cause you any issues with gait/balance? Or anything else most people wouldn’t think about?

          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.

    Do you work at Dunder Mifflin ? Or is this standard office decor in America ?

    It always bummed me out that the larger size sneakers were usually ugly compared to the smaller display models. Consider yourself lucky there.
