I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every time they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device tells me I'm not a man

How are you with stiff breezes I imagine there must be a lot of swaying?

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don't think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

As a woman, I think it's stupid that shoes are gendered in the first place. My shoe size is in the realm that exists for both men's and women's shoes. So in shoe stores I can grab the same sneakers from the women's and the men's section. Just sort the damn shoes by size and let people pick the ones they like ffs.

So I'm not sure if you know this, but in the US the big kids sizes and the adult men's sizes are the same. For example, a men's 5 is the same as a big kid's 5.

Next time you need to use a Brannock device and you're sized out, have them get the one for the kids.

Do your feet hurt after a long day of standing/walking like being at an airport or something?

I haven't had my feet measured since I was a kid wtf?

AFASS - Assigned Female At Shoe Store

I had a girlfriend who had the inverse of your problem — her feet were far too large for shoes aimed at women. She ended up becoming friends with a bunch of drag queens, and finding that the specialist store they got their shoes from was the best place for her

Gender binary is bs anyway

Wow dude, that's crazy. Like, in a cool way.

My great-uncle was very small when he was born - the family story is that he used to sleep in a shoe box instead of a crib until he was almost a year old.

Probably not your shoe box, though.

Shoes must be cheap then lol

Get me a small man’s foot-suit, please.

I'm just confused by why you keep getting your feet measured. I haven't done that since my feet stopped growing, I know my size by this point

Skinny 5'3 guy here. I've had that experience buying pants. "Maybe you'll find something in the kids' section".

Well? Is what they say about big feet true of the inverse?

Do your feet hurt a lot? It sounds like a lot of pressure on a small area

TL:DR He says his dong is normal sized.

You have different shoe sizes for men and women? WTF?

Those feet must look like hooves.

Do you happen to sprain your ankles often? Just wondered if it felt like you were less balanced than other similarly sized men or did your brain just adjust and accommodate for the lack of leverage naturally subconsciously?

my sister's foot size is 12. She has larger feet than me and I'm AMAB

Have you looked into shoe inserts that essentially reduce the size of the shoe interior? My friend has extremely small feet and faces a similar problem of not finding shoes that are small enough, and I think she's had some luck with the inserts

Dude this is insane. First I feel like you'd be more prone to falling over or something? Like top heavy?? But on the other hand you can probably go up most stairs without feeling like you're about to fall to your death. I have average foot size for my height and all stairs I have to be on my tip toes. Honestly have wished I had smaller feet many times in my life. Thanks for sharing! Not something I ever thought was a thing.

If your feet stay the same size why don’t you just order online? I know testing them out can be nice, but you can return online orders.

I can’t remember the last time I went shoe shopping in person, because I know my size and which companies I need a larger or smaller size shoe for. Also why would they keep measuring you if you know?

OP is a Rob Liefeld character.

In all seriousness I hope you can find a decent specialty store that will get you comfy/stylish/both shoes.

My size (9) is constantly sold out. I was wondering if you experience fewer sold-out issues with your size.

I used to know a guy they called "Princess" because he had slightly smaller feet than average. He was a little short, very manly beard, muscular frame, deep voice. His feet weren't even notably small or anything; he played football and you couldn't really tell they were anything to write home about at all. Because they weren't. He wore a size 40 I think, that's like size 7 US. And yet: Princess.

I bet your stiltwalking skills are exemplary.

Do you have small hands too?

Is the size of your forearm same as your feet? https://drschoene.com/press/doc-blog/is-your-foot-the-same-size-as-your-forearm/

Do they get sore all the time? That sounds like a lot of weight on not much area.

That's wild. Those are practically hooves.

Are those Iron Man socks?

New club hit just dropped

"I like my ment tall
With feet that are small"

What's shoe shopping like? I have a friend with size 6 or 7 feet and he says he often find cheaper shoes because he gets away with buying kids versions of sneakers. On the other hand I've got wide feet so my options are often limited.

Are you built like a pirate from the knees down?

Don't bother...my gf has small feet also and we go shopping in kid's department/shop

have you tried wearing kids size?

While I'm 5'9 (176cm) with size 12 ( man 45 europe ) shoes since I was 15/16 ( same height and foot size since that age )

That's what you get when you don't use the metric system

Most people wear shoes that are too small.

You could totally be a great Satyr for Halloween

why....why do you keep getting your feet sized if they haven't grown since childhood??? you know your size! be a man and pick out your own fucking shoes!

Based on your posts, I hope we learn more about you that is not about your feet :p

my shoe size is "only 13" , 6'3 (converted fod you Americans) but the arch is very sharp which makes it annoying to shop for new ones .

This is amazing.

Absolutely no offense intended here, but like is your balance bad? I'm curious how this affects you.

I'm size 5 men's and have trouble finding shoes, can't imagine searching for size 3
