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.
-
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!

You know what they say about guys with tiny feet...
They have a helluva time finding shoes that fit right.
-
Indeed. Have to buy online. Shoe stores are too awkward.
-
Upside: the variety of light up shoes you can buy must be much higher than the average adult!
-
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
-
Haha yes the lower price on shoes is certainly a perk!
-
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.

So relatable! Love this show.

If I were you, I'd find a cordwainer to make custom leather shoes.
-
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.
-
You guys really deserve that tax break given how expensive it must be to buy all 34 shoes for your wife.
-
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.
-
Which dark corner tho?
-
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.
-
Are there any unexpected advantages you've noticed?
