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!

Size 3 US? That’s tiny!
Yes size 3 US. Another angle:
Compared to my friend’s size 10 the difference is quite dramatic
These pictures are crazy. You weren’t kidding!
My brain keeps telling me it’s some kind of forced perspective, seeing how your foot looks normal and the shoe abnormally big.
That’s definitely how the world seems to me…everyone is Bigfoot! I do have more photos of size differences of course but I don’t want to subject you all to more photos of my deformed feet.
The pics with the shoes on, they really don’t look noticeable. But yeah that one you could definitely tell. Also, your hands don’t look small at all. Compared to your body they really look proportional. And this is very interesting, not mildly! I wouldn’t mind seeing more pictures, and I’m sure people wouldn’t as well, as long as you’re ok sharing.

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…

Wow, that’s wild! Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate you sharing these and being open about it. Nothing beats confidence!
Dang, today OP was a cool guy and totally delivered. Thanks for answering so many questions and being such a great sport. You’re a valuable member of this community and we need more people like you online.
I wasn’t going to ask for shoeless foot pics because that feels weird, but thanks for doing so. Curiosity sated.
It’s cool…I get it.
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?

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

…that they’re sick of the penis size jokes.

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.
Handsome man who’s good in bed and gets laid… maybe your pity is misplaced
I’m sorry but if you have any problems they are not mine. In no place did I pity him. We actually went out other times and he was super smart. I feel bad because I know people that would be mean to him but Pity is very different. I’m not a prostitute that would have sex with someone for pity

I felt so bad for him

That read as pity to me, but good, I’m glad it isn’t. I don’t even have a penis, so no problems here, lol.

Uhh… so who’s going to ask…?

OK, I will:

OP, how large 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.
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.
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 Confirmation 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.
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.
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.
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. 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.

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

I’m someone who is your height but with feet longer than average. To the point where even as a child I couldn’t find shoes in stores and now if I scour the internet I might find a couple pairs globally that can somewhat fit. No choice in design, color etc.

Anyway one coping thought I have always reasoned is that my feet were long to counterbalance my height. I’m still easily knocked off balance though. Do you find that you can easily fall over by having small feet?

Very interesting. Yes I can easily fall and trip over. Then again I don’t have anything to compare it to as I’ve never had normal sized paws but I do tend to trip a lot.

Thanks for the reply. Whatever people struggle with there’s often someone else out there going through the exact opposite thing.

However, the respect and understanding is there because despite the differences the struggles of not fitting in is the same. If you fall outside the norm the jokes and difficulties are there either way. Reminds me of when I saw that the world’s tallest woman was friend’s with the world’s shortest.

Do people mention it much?
Yes sometimes random strangers will comment on it which is awkward. It’s quite noticeable. In high school I used to try to wear much bigger shoes like size 7 (the biggest I could wear without them falling off me) to make it less noticeable but it hurt like hell lugging those around all day so I stopped. It’s annoying but I’m used to it I guess.
I appreciate you sharing. It’s a huge weight to have to carry throughout the years. People can be cruel and that leaves scars. I really hope you have some people in your life who see you for you without treating you the way so many have in the past. People you feel safe and comfortable around.
Have you ever watched Andy Richter Controls the Universe? One of the episodes has a whole B plot about a main character having surprisingly small feet.
No I will have to check this out. Love some small foot representation.
Real question: any issues standing up and keeping your balance?
My calf muscles and foot muscles have grown larger I think to compensate and keep me relatively balanced, but I’m still a klutz and trip all the time. Can easily lose my footing if I’m shoved in a crowd for example. But yeah for the most part can walk and run fine.
It’s brilliant how that body works.
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.)
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. 😂

Yes for sure - one of the few perks of my “condition”

Absolutely no shade, dude. You seem like a chill guy.

But I have this stuck in my head because of this post youtube.com/watch?v=kDg0dklwW5g
