Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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!

Well.....you know what they say about tall guys with tiny feet, right?

.....that they're sick of the penis size jokes.

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Haha why is this so true? Luckily whatever made my hands and feet lilliputian didn't affect any other part of my body.

Ypu're lucky! I once hook up with a huge guy, handsome, big in every way... but the penis. He had a micro penis that looked like a kids penis. I felt so bad for him. Just hook up anyway because he was good with his hands.

Uhh.. so who's going to ask..?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks for the conversion guys.

That is indeed mildly interesting

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

I thought you might think so!

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.)

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

And I can wear light up shoes.

I was hoping to find this here somewhere lol

I've always had long feet so I never even got long to wear kids shoes (and light up shoes weren't even around yet during the short time I did lol) and was so jealous of a friend of mine who had tiny feet and could wear all the cute and sparkly and light up shoes she wanted long in to adulthood.

If it was me, I'd absolutely be buying all the fun shoes I could afford. 😂

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes for sure - one of the few perks of my "condition"

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Haha thanks! Yes - I've never met a man or woman with smaller feet than me in my life.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How do you find shoes? I imagine there's not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 3 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing! Have you ever considered getting some sort of custom shoes made?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes thinking about getting some dress shoes custom made but haven't got around to it yet.

[–] Eldest_Malk@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Wow. I can't compute that size really but yes they're certainly very dependable in all sizes.

Not just for your height, most Heights. Does it ever lead to balance issues?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.
