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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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!
Speak for yourself... I use my Brannock device each morning to check my feet and see if my junk got bigger from the chemicals.
Cause it takes about 30 seconds and makes sure you actually have the right size shoe.
—what size?
—three

I don't think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it's easy to check for yourself.
It's absolutely not common unless you're getting custom shoes or some other 1%er activity
Every shoe store I have ever been to, including thrift stores, had one of those foot measuring things.
Thrift store? Believe it or not, 1%er activity.
Do you NOT try to fit into any clothing you buy?
I never buy clothes online, exactly because I always try them on to check the fit before buying them. I haven't measured my feet since I was around 15. I know my foot size, so I know that shoes in the range 42-43 are a good fit, depending on the shoe model. I don't need to measure my feet when I buy shoes to confirm that they're still around size 42.5.
I mean, your feet typically don't really change size after you grow up? I just buy whatever size I last bought.
Edit: tho to be fair it's not even always the same size because the size that's comfortable highly depends from shoe to shoe, I always have to try on a few pairs to be sure.
Depends on if you get into barefoot style shoes or not.
