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

5ft 6” and shoe size 5

BerniesMittens · 10/02/2021 14:31

5’6” and size 7.5/8 depending on style.

Adult dd is 5'5 1/2" and she's a size 3.5 - 4. Same size as her DGM.

FourTeaFallOut · 10/02/2021 14:37

Pre kids size 5, post kids size 6.

@tinylittleyou I am 5'5" and now a size 40 / is that a 7 ? before pregnancy I am pretty sure I had smaller feet. No one has stopped me in the road and laughed at the size of my feet so I reckon you are perfectly OK

ZombeaArthur · 10/02/2021 14:40

I’m 5ft 6 and a small 5 (I’m occasionally a 4 but never a 6).

My Mum’s 5ft 2 and a large 6 (occasionally a 7 and never a 5).

CatrinVennastin · 10/02/2021 14:40

5 ft 6 and I am an 8. I was a 7 before I had kids.

DD1 is 5ft 3 and already a size 6.

All the women on my mum’s side have freakishly long toes. I would be a size 4 I think without my toes. My daughter’s have inherited these freak toes.

Candyfloss99 · 10/02/2021 14:41

5ft 6. I was a 7 but now I seem to be a 6.

Vicliz24 · 10/02/2021 14:51

5ft 6 and wear a 6.5-7

amusedbush · 10/02/2021 14:52

I'm just a peep under 5' 5 and I wear a size 5.

@tinylittleyou

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)
I’m 63 and 5’4.5” with extra wide feet that have increased to size 8, used to be 7. My big feet have dominated my life, I’ve always hated them. I loved how high heeled or even better, wedge heels made my feet look smaller but these days I have to wear extra wide, flatter boots or shoes as I do a lot of walking.

If I had normal sized feet I’d have loads of beautiful shoes because I love shoes but have to always look at ones that don’t bring attention to my feet. I look at other women’s feet and feel jealous. They look so proportionately small and neat and it’s nothing they’ve done, it’s just genes. I wear bootleg jeans because they cover part of my shoes.

My daughter has feet that are size 7 but her feet are slim and beautifully shaped and look proportionate. I’m so pleased she didn’t inherit my clodhoppers

@Sockmonkeysloth

Just under 5’4 and a size 9. Something definitely went wrong there...
So how do you deal with that? Does it dictate what you wear - the type of jeans as well as shoes?
Murtaghjames · 10/02/2021 15:03

5ft 4 and size 4

BigWoollyJumpers · 10/02/2021 15:08

It's definitely something to do with genetics, plus I think the upcoming generations have bigger feet, to go with their increased height.

I am half Italian (generally seem to have smaller feet than UK), am 5'5" with 4.5 feet. My 2 DD's are slightly shorter than me with size 3.5 and 4. Within their friendship group they have TINY feet compared to the rest.

Kitkat151 · 10/02/2021 15:11

5ft 6
Size 5 or 6 depending on fit

AWryGiraffe · 10/02/2021 15:11

5'5 and a 7.5. Always been jealous of you tiny feeters!

DragonWillow · 10/02/2021 15:15

5.4" and size 4

DragonWillow · 10/02/2021 15:17

@AWryGiraffe - I wouldn't be too jealous, it's far easier to balance on larger feet especially if a little top heavy like me

AngeloMysterioso · 10/02/2021 15:23

5’5”(and a half)

Size 3.5 feet but can wear either a 3 or a 4 depending on the style

HorridHamble · 10/02/2021 15:30

5’6”
Size 5.5

LittleFriendSusan · 10/02/2021 15:39

I'm 5'5" and size 6.5-7, width dependent... used to be 5-6 but my feet went up half a size each pregnancy 🙄.

I also have ridiculously big (wide) hands!

jambeforeclottedcream · 10/02/2021 15:43

Depending on style of shoe and make. I can wear size 5 sometimes. I have very narrow heels!
Size 6/ size 7. 6.5 is the holy grail of shoe sizes for me.

ims0rrydarlingg · 10/02/2021 15:44

5ft7 - size 6

jambeforeclottedcream · 10/02/2021 15:44

Oh I'm 5ft5.5

Mouldiwarp1 · 10/02/2021 15:49

5 foot 5. Used to be a 3.5 and 4.5, but went up a good half a size after having DD. Also on the wide side. I’m older though (60) and I think shoe sizes have increased.
