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!
- As someone with moderately long but exceptionally wide feet, having tiny feet seems like it'd be much easier to find shoes that fit..
  
  Do EE shoes work for you? A couple of work shoe/boot outlets by me are always full of those sizes.
  I’m US11 and have super narrow feet, and have a hard time finding shoes that don’t wobble around on me at those stores.
  
  Has to be…
- A friend of mine has trouble with that. Women's shoes are usually the right length, but they are skinner than men's 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?
  
  Not that dark at all. Its called OnlyFans. Although I am sure more "specific" communities more devoted to feet could yield better income. Where those are? No idea. I can barely stand the sight of my own feet without socks.
Reverse hobbit!
Glad to see you take your uniqueness in stride.
Bro is built like a Gazelle
- I was thinking mountain goat. Need those smaller feet to stand on narrow ledges.
  
  He could be the monster in a climbing based horror franchise.
  Born with small feet, he was banished to the mountains where he turned his curse into a means for survival.
  Wide shot of a group of hunters following a trail near a rock face
  "I thought it was wolves eat'n all them sheep. Couldn't have imagined that small feet kid lived all those years out here alone."
  "It's a confounding thought, Emmit, how you think that thing managed?"
  "Boy howdy, that's the mystery of it all. Maybe we ought not to know."
  Pan up to show small feet guy perched on a narrow rock ledge above. He jumps down, fade to black over hunters screaming.
  "This summer, remember to look up."
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.
  
  An old friend of mine was born with two fingers and a thumb on his right hand. Instead of awkward left hand handshakes he just owns it and freaks people out.
You might be really good at rock climbing
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.
I showed this to my fiance; she's 5' and has the same exact shoe size.
- Haha nice! Small feet united.
Do you have issues with balance or rapid change of direction?
We need more pics of your feet and had next to other people's ones.. or bananas for scale.
- Here's a photo of my foot next to my friend's size 11 foot...

  Jokes on you, the Internet has your feet now!
  
  This actually gave me a much better perspective, cause I couldn't really tell from the original photo. And holy crow, that's kinda wild! I would absolutely be wearing the coolest kids shoes
  Does it cause you any issues with gait/balance? Or anything else most people wouldn't think about?

- So relatable! Love this show.
- I must have got some of it as well.
  1.67cm and wear a men's size 43 shoes.
  
  Haha bro. Give my feet back.
Do you work at Dunder Mifflin ? Or is this standard office decor in America ?
Oh the plus side, you can go to any shoe store and find great clown shoes!
You should snowboard! I've got size 12 and I'm always getting toe and heel drag when I carve too deep. But you would never need to worry about that. Fucking super power.
Are there any unexpected advantages you've noticed?
- One of the hardest things about my job is getting my big hands into small spaces to put a nut on a bolt, etc. He'd probably be a great mechanic.
  
  With his feet?
I bet he can also walk stilts easily
It always bummed me out that the larger size sneakers were usually ugly compared to the smaller display models. Consider yourself lucky there.
u single?
Petite feet, feminine step! Sounds just like a lady when he walks into the room!

Is this what it sounds like when you walk?
