I'm a 6'1" (185 cm) man with stupidly small size 3 US (EU 34) feet. I've never met another adult with smaller feet than me.

And superhero themed Velcro sandals!

Lucky bastard, kids shoes are tax free!

I know this cos my wife has got 34 feet too and is delighted every time she finds a bargain

[leggomylego@lemmings.world]

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

[bedsharkpal@lemmy.ca]

I just don't get how all of your other bones grew while your hands and feet didn't. Your pituitary just outputs growth hormone (among other things), and then your liver converts that to the more active form, igf1. Seems like there must have been some lowered expression of igf1 in the bones of your hands and feet somehow which would be neat

When you shake people's hands, does it ever throw people off?

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

[leggomylego@lemmings.world]

So relatable! Love this show.

If I were you, I'd find a cordwainer to make custom leather shoes.

[leggomylego@lemmings.world]

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.

[minorlaceration@lemmy.world]

You guys really deserve that tax break given how expensive it must be to buy all 34 shoes for your wife.

[peoplebeproblems@midwest.social]

Oh the plus side, you can go to any shoe store and find great clown shoes!

In some dark corner of the internet, there is someone willing to pay a LOT of money for videos of you doing weird shit with your feet.

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Which dark corner tho?

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Even at just five bucks a shoe, that's $170 every time you go shoe shopping. Brutal. OP's wife must be 4.25 octopuses.

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

Are there any unexpected advantages you've noticed?

[track_shovel@slrpnk.net]

Bro is built like a Gazelle

[model_tar_gz@lemmy.world]

Octopuses wouldn’t wear shoes so the math doesn’t add up.

Now spiders—spiders would wear some stylish kicks you know, not just any $5 shoe.

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

Reverse hobbit!

[foxyferengi@lemm.ee]

I must have stolen your hand and foot growth. I'm 5'3 (160 cm) and wear a women's size 12 (euro 42).

[monkeyman512@lemmy.world]

I was thinking mountain goat. Need those smaller feet to stand on narrow ledges.
