Dh constantly tells me I have big feet for a woman.

I’m a size 8 and 5ft9.

What size are you?

You do have big feet for a woman. You know this because it's very difficult to buy women's shoes larger than an 8.

There's nothing wrong with women having large feet. I don't see anything rude about stating you have big feet for a woman.

However, if someone picked up your shoes and shouted "Oh my god your shoes are massive!, then that would be rude. I've had people do that in my hallway with mine and DDs shoes.

5ft 3in and I wear a 6.5 - 7 depending on what shop.

FleetwoodMacMummy · 03/02/2020 19:56

I'm 5'3 and shoe size 4/5 depending on style/shop. I'd say for your height your shoe size is perfectly normal :)

Sammi38 · 03/02/2020 19:59

5ft4 size 6

Mlou32 · 03/02/2020 20:22

I'm size 8, I'm 5ft 9ins.

Feet are getting bigger all the time. As are kids, have you seen the height of teenagers these days??

I remember as a kid, my feet were really big for my age. And remember those 'magic key' shoes from Clarke's? Well I was the only kid in my class that didn't have a pair because they didn't go up to my size Hmm That's my childhood sob story....

Size 8 and 5ft 7 ins

SenecaFallsRedux · 17/02/2020 18:30

I'm a size 10.5 US so 8.5 UK, I think. I'm tall so it's not surprising that I have long feet. They are also narrow so finding shoes that fit and that will stay on is a real challenge.

GlitteryUnicornSparkles · 17/02/2020 18:34

Size 4. 5ft 2in.

namechangepls5 · 17/02/2020 18:49

5ft 6 and I’m a 6.5 (occasionally a 6 or a 7 depending on the type of shoe)

^same

I’ve always been self conscious about my feet, I may not have the largest size but I think because I have very skinny legs and narrow feet it makes them look longer/bigger? I know other women with the same size as me but because they’re not as skinny it doesn’t look bad at all. I avoid wearing some styles of shoes because of it

Was 8 1/2 before baby, 9 now.

Carouselfish · 17/02/2020 19:46

I'm so impressed by the amount of 8/9s!! No wonder there's never a pair in my size in the sale!

vdbfamily · 17/02/2020 19:50

we are a tall family with big feet.
13 yr old DD. 5'9. 9.5 feet
15 yr old DS. 6'1" 13 feet
16 yr old DD 6'3. 10 FEET
ME. 6'1. 11 feet
DH. 6'7. 14 feet
Not much fun buying shoes in our house.

vdbfamily · 17/02/2020 19:51

I guess feet should read shoe size

Sheena99 · 17/02/2020 19:53

SimonTheFox · 17/02/2020 20:41

Am 5ft 7in and wear size 7 (or sometimes size 8 for the extra width)

OptimisticSix · 17/02/2020 20:44

5ft 2 so size 4. My 11 year old daughter now has bigger feet than me so hoping she'll be taller 😁

LionelRitchieStoleMyNotebook · 17/02/2020 20:55

DH tells me I have big feet (I'm 5'8 size 7), I tell him it's because he's insecure with his size 8's and I don't understand how he doesn't topple over on his tiny child like hooves (he's 6'4). It's all affectionate.

feelingdizzy · 17/02/2020 20:59

5ft10 and a size 5/6 I do have small hands and wrists but am also pretty fat ,so theres a small boned person hiding in there!

TheFuzzyStar · 17/02/2020 21:15

5’6.5” and size 8

MsMarple · 17/02/2020 21:20

5’9” and usually size 9 (43) although my slippers are a 10

CharitySchmarity · 17/02/2020 21:34

Sometimes 7, sometimes 8, Euro size 41 seems to be consistently right for me. I'm 5'5". My mum was shorter than me and had slightly bigger feet.

proseccosparkles · 22/02/2022 22:08

5'10 size 6
