Just that really. Always felt like I’m out of proportion so thought I’d see if I am abnormal or not..

5 ft 5 and shoe size 4. Feel incredibly smug whenever I can get shoes at children's prices

tinylittleyou · 10/02/2021 13:20

I’m 5’5 and a 7 or 8 depending on the shop/shoe, also often need the special ‘wide’ fit too 🙄I see I’m not completely alone but this thread is definitely confirming I’m supposed to be a 5 or a 6 😭 i always feel really self-conscious and like everyone is staring at how huge my feet look (even though they’re probably not)

Just under 5’4 and a size 9. Something definitely went wrong there...

YanTanTethera123 · 10/02/2021 13:23

6 or 7 depending on the make/style.

Okokokbear · 10/02/2021 13:24

7

wheresmycrown · 10/02/2021 13:24

5'5.5 - size 6.5/7

Hm2020 · 10/02/2021 13:25

5ft6.5 and 5.5 - 6 shoes was a 5 until I got pregnant Hmm

Monkeytennis97 · 10/02/2021 13:27

I wish I was a 7... 5'5'' and a size....9Sad

OP can ignore this if she wants...

I've noticed very overweight kids often have huge feet. My friend 5 stone overweight & grew up plump, is 5'6" and her feet are quite substantially larger than my already larger feet (I am taller but never so heavy). I don't think big feet is anything to be upset by, I just suspect it can be a byproduct of very overweight adolescence.

JustCallMeBrittany · 10/02/2021 13:36

Was always a 7, randomly dropped to a 5, now 5 in a shoe, 6 in a runner.
Am just shy of 5ft7

Toorapid · 10/02/2021 13:37
  1. I've had size 7 feet since I was 10yo. Now that was out of proportion.
JustCallMeBrittany · 10/02/2021 13:38

OP you're not supposed to be any particular size, please don't feel that 7 or 8 is too big.
My mum is my height and a size 9.
SIL is my height and a size 8.5
Other SIL is 5ft4 and has size 7 feet.

Snugglepumpkin · 10/02/2021 13:39

I'm 5ft6 was always a size 5 but since my second pregnancy I am now a size 6.

NeedWineNow · 10/02/2021 13:39

5.5 and anything between 7, 7.5 or 8 depending on brand.

dun1urkin · 10/02/2021 13:40

I’m that height and am a small 8 (EU 41)
My feet are narrow.
I’ve had a couple of comments about how big my feet are over the years. I assume people are jealous because size 8s are often left over in the sales, and tell them not to be envious as I can’t help it Grin
I also have large hands (glove size 7.5)

purplecorkheart · 10/02/2021 13:41

5 foot 6 and a size 41/7

AdditionalCharacter · 10/02/2021 13:41

Usually a 4, sometimes a 3 or 5, depending on the brand.

PeteGibbons · 10/02/2021 13:45

7, or an 8 in running shoes.

CakeBlake · 10/02/2021 13:53

It is strangely comforting to know there are so many with size 7+ feet!

Always felt ashamed as 6ft girl with size 9/10.

Fun fact - Kate Winslet is 5’4 with size 10’s.

LaceyBetty · 10/02/2021 13:55

5'5 and size 5 to 5.5.

AlCalavicci · 10/02/2021 13:56

@BadabingbadabumI
I agree , I find it hard to find smartish shoes in 7 or 8 .

Chloemol · 10/02/2021 13:57

5ft7 size 5 or 5.5

Einszwei · 10/02/2021 13:57

5"5.5 I wear a 5 in regular shoes, 6 in trainers.

Caramel81 · 10/02/2021 14:02

I’m 5ft 6 and a size 6.5 shoe unless it’s a slim fit and I’ll have to go up to a 7

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 10/02/2021 14:04

5ft 6, size 4. My feet are wide though.
