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 dated a girl in middle school who had this issue. You used a wheelchair, not because he legs didn't work, but her feet were to small to support her body.

I have seen many gazans walk without even having feet. I would guess she could stand for some time but would get tired, hence the wheelchair?
