Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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!

I noticed his shoes seemed smaller than I expected, so I looked it up: Rafael Nadal has relatively small shoes (size 10 for 6'1"), and he is widely acknowledged as the greatest clay court player of all time. Your time will come, friend!

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.

Petite feet, feminine step

Sounds like a lady when he's walkin' in the room 🎶

One of the few times I've seen someone with a smaller shoe size than myself, having a woman's 5.5 or there abouts. But it's fine for the rest of me. Good luck! I hope they continue to uh. Be feet? Yep!

Don't worry, variation in a population is expected. Even if you're an outlier, that doesn't make you weird!

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

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 6 points 2 months ago

Classic. No shade assumed.

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.)

Do your feet hurt frequently?

[–] Leggomylego@lemmings.world 5 points 2 months ago

Not as much as you'd think. I do have a foot massager stick I use after long runs but my feet are pretty sturdy.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

JAAAAAMES Baxter!

Op does this cause issues like foot pain or anything like that?
