Yes they do. But I don't know if it's any worse than a "normal-footed" human's feet.

I can 100% attest to this. Kids shoes are cheap because they're cheap.

Be careful what you wish for. Small feet on a man mean you'll be sentenced to a life of small dick jokes. Which is certainly not the worst thing in the world but it isn't great.

I have sprained my ankles in the past but not since I was a teenager...maybe adjusting to my growth spurt when I was still wearing size 1s haha. Now I'm fine I guess I have adjusted. Of course, I've never been normal-footed so don't have a point of reference but yeah I'm not falling over myself like a newborn fawn as you may think.

My balance is not too bad actually my body has had my whole life to adjust to its situation with my feet. I also go up stairs quickly on my tip toes but yeah I do always feel that stairs have ample room for my feet. Another positive is I pretty much never stub my toes.

No honestly I can't say it is. I have small hands but other than that totally average.

Shoe shopping in a store rarely happens. I can go to Kmart or Target and find shoes in the kids section, or go online. I was only going into a proper shoe store this one time to get a new pair of running shoes.

Not as much as you would think. The body is incredibly adaptable. I have pretty strong foot and calf muscles that distribute the load I guess.

I only got my feet measured for a new pair of running shoes at a new running store that just opened up. You're right - I don't have to combat the Brannock device on a regular basis.

I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

I'm a 6'1" (185 cm) man with stupidly small size 3 US (EU 34) feet. I've never met another adult with smaller feet than me. It makes me look like a reverse hobbit. (lemmings.world)
 

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.

I have weirdly small (size 3) feet for my height (6'1") (lemmings.world)
 

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!
