Yeah for sure. I wanted to go snowboarding once but the rental place only went down to a kid's size 4 which was too big for me (I'm really a size 2 without orthotics). So if I could find boots that fit, I'd be up for it!

Not as many issues as you might think. Of course, I have a smaller foot surface area to work with so not as steady on my toes but I have strong foot and calf muscles to compensate I think and keep me relatively stable. I can run fine but kid's shoes are not designed for a 6'1" 170 lb man to be running in them so I go through shoes like crazy. Mostly it's just social issues - my feet and hands are quite noticeably small so I get comments from strangers a lot. But I just try to laugh it off and be good humored about it.

Haha nice! Small feet united.

Haha bro. Give my feet back.

Here's a photo of my foot next to my friend's size 11 foot...

Yes thinking about this as a treat for my birthday coming up. I have a few pairs of kid's dress shoes but they're pretty clunky - mostly designed for kids to wear at church. Near impossible to find something more stylish.

So relatable! Love this show.

Yes that's essentially what's happened. And yes, definitely throws people off. Everyone's hands inevitably swallow mine during handshakes.

Haha yes the lower price on shoes is certainly a perk!

And superhero themed Velcro sandals!

Indeed. Have to buy online. Shoe stores are too awkward.

 

As a baby I was born with a pituitary issue which meant my hands and feet were abnormally small. They never grew that large at all. I can run and walk fine and they're not deformed or anything, just tiny. I might have some weird world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult!
