Hate having big feet

[PoppiCan]

Anyone else? I have size 8 feet and I really hate it! They are huge and sometimes I have to get a 9 if the shoes are tight, I’ve always hated having such big feet as a woman, im not tall either so it’s not even in proportion, even my daughter has got my big feet as shes 9 with size 5 woman’s feet, I dread to think what size she will end up as, gone are all the pretty young girls shoes as most dont go up as big so shes 9 having to wear adult shoes, finding nice school shoes is hard. AIBU to hate having big feet!

Does that relate to feet size? I trip a lot maybe because mine are so huge

Im a podiatrist and size 8 isnt big any more. Im regularly having tall girls coming in with size 10 to 12. Kids are getting bigger.
Unfortunately shoe shops arent keeping up with this rising change.

I have the opposite problem. I'm a size 3/3.5. If I do find a size 3 it's far too narrow, because apparently my short feet must be the width of a ruler. I'm often told to 'buy from the kids section'. no thanks!! I need/want adult shoes & proper support.

There's now only ONE shoe store in my city that caters to my size and you're looking at £100-£150 a pair. I can't buy online. I've tried but nothing fits. The store I used (warehouse style) closed & is only online now.

I don’t think many people notice the size of other people’s feet!

It must be a pain if not all shoes go up to the size you need. But often you can get shoes at either the smaller or larger end of the scale in the sale, where as you rarely get anything much in the sale when you’re a 5 or 6.

That mightn’t sound like a big bonus but it’s annoying when you go into a lovely shoe shop sale and all the nice shoes are only reduced in size 3 or 8!

See when I see sales it’s usually all the 5s and 6s as stores have more stock in those sizes and any larger sizes are gone quicker as they don’t stock as much but thats my experience

As someone who inherited up a whole host of insecurities from my mum, trust me: she’ll be aware. You talk about yourself very unkindly and it’s likely she’ll have either picked up on that, or the complaining about lack of shoe options.

Edited to add that if you think the fact that some women get breast enlargements means it’s normal to hate parts of your body then I imagine your insecurities are very obvious.

Be nicer to yourself and to your feet! They get you around!

Well have size 11 feet.lol Getting shoes sucks

If it makes you feel any better, although mine are only a size 5.5, they are WIDE! My toes are basically a square box. They hardly taper at all. Clarks E width feels a little tight. I certainly can never wear dainty narrow pointed shoes. And most shoes aren't made in wide widths, so...

I also have stupidly wide hip bones, so much so that I look very thin from the side but very wide from the back. Shift-style skirts and dresses look like they're hung flat between two poles. I have actually wondered if wide feet and wide hip bones go together. It would make sense, because the feet surely have to be broad enough to balance the wide load above, lol! I would love to have narrow hips and narrow feet.

Anyway, OP, you're not the only one who doesn't like their feet!

Sargasso & Grey do an Extra Wide EEE fit, I wear their size 43. They are expensive but nice quality.
Any other suggestions for extra wide fit in large sizes would be appreciated.

Can I ask you folks how wide your feet are? I'm a size 5.5 and the widest part of my foot (across my toes) is 4.2 inches.

I can honestly say I have never noticed the size of anyone’s feet or thought anything about it. I’m a size 7, or an 8 in pointed toe heels. I thought that was pretty normal size as my sister and mum are both the same size. They’re just feet, I don’t give them any further thought really.

Are these the type of shoes your daughter likes? Not sure if they would be too wide or chunky.

Yes you are so right, I don’t notice the size of other peoples feet but I definitely notice mine. Mine are 5.5 but I usually wear a 5. I have had size 6 shoes and boots and thought they looked so big that I have thrown them away. I can’t bear looking down and seeing big shoes.

I would love to see the statistics on this, I often go into a sale and think whey don’t they just have more of the 5/6 sizes, surely they are the most popular if they are gone? But they must have had more of that particular size when they ordered them. I’d love to see the orders shops make and how the manufacturing of shoes is balanced out size wise.

I remember in school there was one boy who had size 11 shoes and we thought that was ENORMOUS at that time, I wonder if feet are generally getting bigger?
