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.

I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet due to a mild deformity. I've never met another adult with smaller feet. (lemmings.world)

Was born with super small feet in the 1st percentile as well as hands due to a benign genetic issue. Totally healthy but shoe shopping is always awkward. Have decent balance and can walk and run fine as my calf muscles are quite developed to compensate. No, the myth isn't true.

I was about to say, it looks like there are some bones or something missing in the front part of the foot there. Like the tendons are skipping over and attaching to something farther back than they should. And the toes seem like they aren't allowed to stretch out fully. I think I saw that condition on some foot doctor show. Very interesting anomaly.

I'm totally relieved to hear about your weiner though. Glad you mentioned that. ✔️

This is another photo of my foot compared to my friend's size 10 shoe. It's relatively "normal" looking but just shrunk down. And yes, it is a relief that this didn't spread to other areas.

lol yeah, quite a difference!

Roger that, glad you reaffirm again! I was about to ask for a DP but I feel safe again now.

Wow yeah this shows a difference.

I'm size ten, "like everyone in the army" (Band of Brothers reference) and like your feet or hands didn't seem particularly small from the original photo in the post, this makes the size much clearer.
