Anyone else feel like Big Foot?

Question

So yeah I do, I always have the biggest feet around my friends. When I was a kid it was the same, I coudn't wear the cartoon shoes my friends had because by the time I was 9 I fit only in men's sizes.

It's frustrating at times. Going shoe shopping, I find a nice shoe but BEFORE hand I know they won't have them in my size. My shoe size is 15 & 1/2. That happened the other day and then even online they still didn't have the pair of shoes I was looking for in a size big enough. And they tend to be expensive at around $100 when I find any.

I've gone to a bowling alley and even the largest shoes don't fit! I had to go barefoot.

Anybody out there also feel like me, a big foot in the land cinderella?

Answer 1

Though it is not very common to have limbs larger than normal. I have one cousin whose feet are also very large and he too some time felt frustration like you. He was recruited in Army however when he was allotted dress, shoes do not fit his size so Army gave him special allowances to get his shoes made manually. It may be difficult in western places to have custom made shoes for one however in India we have that facility that our cobbler can make shoes of our size. In fact in our village side we have some people who have extra large feet or hand and they manage by custom made shoes.

As you said there are always occasions when we feel bad because of this however at the same time you can utilize that for your advantage. Do you know my cousin started playing Basket Ball - he is also tall and with his height plus inches from his feet made him so tall that he came out to be a very good basket ball.

So use them to your advantage, shoes are just one of things which you may purchase once in a year.
