I have weirdly small (size 3) feet for my height (6'1")
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!
Do your smaller-than-average feet have any appreciable effect on your mobility? If not, I have to wonder why we need these clown-ass feet at all. Waste of meat and leather.
No not significantly. Obviously I've always secretly wondered this as well. I could not imagine walking around in size 7s...let alone size 10s or size 13s! That just seems like so much foot to me. I feel like I'd be stubbing my toes all over the place and they'd be so heavy as well. Saying this, I know that no one could possibly understand this as I'm the odd one out here...but yeah, to me everyone has absolutely (too?) massive feet.
Footing is important for melee combat. All the small-foots got killed off in the middle ages because it's hard to defend yourself when you fall down a lot.
