Anyone else with size 8 feet and feel paranoid about how big they are!

[carrottopper]

Just that! Hate them

I'm a size 10. But I'm also 6'2.

Me! And I'm only 5ft 4" 😩

Size 9. Not paranoid, the rest of me is chunky too. I’d look ridiculous with little feet.

Size 8 , love Docs and am 43 in IC which are fabulous.
I hated having big feet as child but happy now .

As a child/teenager I was. Not so much now, though I still choose my shoes carefully to try to avoid the clown look. (5ft 6)

Unless you're 4'11" , how is a size 8 considered big?

I'm a size 10 and hate how big they look. I really struggle to find nice shoes and just buy from Evans. Where does everyone else with bigger feet get theirs?

I'm a size 7. Hated them when I was younger but don't care now. I'm 5 foot 7 so they are in proportion.

size 8 and people never believe me and say they look much smaller! Never bothered me as my mum and aunt wear size 8 so I grew up with it as my normal. I'm above average height for a woman, but my mums pretty short imo and her feet look perfectly sized to me!

I am size 8 and just like that there are almost always nice shoes and running shoes left in the sales as it's a less common size!

When I was younger I remember some brands didn't do women's shoes up to an 8 so I used to feel that they were too big, but I haven't come across that in years (20 or so maybe...).

Size 8 here (5ft 10) so I'm proportion.
Hated them as a child though as they grew before I did!

7.5 here at 5ft8 my feet look fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

My mum has size 8 feet, and they just seem normal to me. She's in her 80s now but she used to have great difficulty in getting shoes that fit properly during and just after the war, and even in the 50s and 60s. She says it's much easier now to get well fitting nice shoes. My dad takes size 7 shoes so smaller than mum, and they seem normal to me too!

I’m a seven and a half, often buy an eight and think my feet look fine..🤷‍♀️

An old friend was 6 ft 2 and had size 10 (or was it 12?) feet and felt very self-conscious.

She never wore heels and struggled to find 'pretty' shoes so did buy some from retailers catering to the transgender customer

This was a few years back though, there may be more options these days.

I don't think you should worry about it OP, I can pretty much guarantee no one else but you ever thinks about it. I'm between a 7 and an 8 but often just buy 8 if there's no wide fit 7 available and it doesn't bother me at all. I think it did when I was younger, as did my height, but now don't care.
Am 5'9/5'10.

I've been an 8 since 11 or 12yo, in the 70s. It was hard to find larger shoes then, often the shop would only order a couple of pairs and when they were gone they were gone. My mum used to say 'A tall building needs a strong foundation' and 'If you had small feet you'd topple over.'

I have insecurities but this isn't one of them, I just never think about it. Even the clown feet thing, as if some shoes make them look big? I mean, they are big, I can't make them look any smaller.

Size 8 here. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

It used to worry me when I was younger but there are so many women with size 8 feet these days that it doesn’t any more!

Size 8 and never bothered me. However manufacturers seem to think we are few and far between so either don’t make shoes up to a size 8 or fewer pairs so they are always sold out.

I’m a size 7/8 but since I’m a big bird a chubster and 5. 7 I suppose I would look strange with small feet

However manufacturers seem to think we are few and far between so either don’t make shoes up to a size 8 or fewer pairs so they are always sold out.

This. Plus the same for people with wide feet.
Perhaps there needs to be a proper survey of what shape feet really are and manufacture the whole range of footwear accordingly.

Love my size 8s, just wish that was my dress size!

Depends how tall you are. Size 8 is dainty on a tall girl but might look large on a short girl.
To be honest I never really look at the size of people's feet anyway.

Totally agree with @oralengineer.
@Bmidreams, I have said that more than once!
