That same subject comes up more and more. In fact, it's nothing more than myth. If you'd like to know the full story - I've cited a reliable source below.

A
long-lived mistaken belief relates penis size to a visible body part: hand, foot, or nose. Among those who consider there might be something to such a correlation, some say masculine length directly relates to a man's shoe size, while others assert the measurement of the subject's hand from wrist to fingertip will reveal his exact personal dimensions. Still more believe a man's proboscis tells the tale when measured from the Foot middle of his eyebrows to the tip, making his masculine information as plain as the nose on his face. Others who have been romanced by the belief opt for more generalized comparisons, avowing that large hands, feet, or noses correspond to larger equipment below.

Until only recently, the only refutation of this hypothesis was anecdotal — for every supposed relative measurement, menfolk could always be found whose vitals defied the supposed wisdom. ("I used to believe your theory until I met my ex-husband whose hands were large, but he was hung like a mouse. My current spouse has small, narrow hands and all I need to say is that I'm keeping this one!"). However, in a study published in the October 2002 issue of the British Journal of Urology International, researchers found the size of man's feet does not correlate to the size of his penis.

Urologists at St. Mary's Hospital and University College Hospital in London recorded the penile length of 104 men with foot sizes 8 through 13. For the purposes of the study, the men's organs were "gently stretched" while in the flaccid state and measured. When analyzed, the data so collected yielded no link between the size of the male organ and a man's feet. "A common misconception," the researchers reported, concluding, "There is no scientific support for this relationship."

The St. Mary's study was not the first attempt to test the theory, but it was the first to adhere to a scientific standard. Although previous tests had appeared to show at least a mild correlation, the studies themselves were seriously flawed, as they relied upon the subjects to accurately report their personal information. The St. Mary's study took the self-reporting aspect out of the equation; both shoe size and penile length were ascertained by those collecting the data, not volunteered by the men being evaluated.

That the study disproves the relationship doesn't mean belief in it is likely to wane. We want to believe a link exists between the size of the penis and some other appendage because our desire to see patterns where none exist leads us to assume the human body is built on a precise scale, that our creator fashioned everything in exact proportion. For all our posturing about our passion for new frontiers, new knowledge, and boldly going where no man has gone before, we humans very much want to live in an orderly universe where everything clearly relates to everything else and is easily understandable. Nature, however, has other ideas. Even individuals differ from side to side — on the same person, one hand will always be bigger, as will one foot. One testicle will always hang lower (almost always the left), and with women one breast will always be larger than its mate. Proportioning is chaotic within a single body; across two or more people it is less consistent. Yet still we persist in attempting to isolate reliable patterns because our need for comfort forces us to search for a gestalt even where we know none can exist.

Yet it's not all desire for order: we also delight in the theory of penile endowment relating to hand, foot, or nose size because, if true, such relationship would give us insight into a very private aspect of folks we might want to know more about. It's the mental equivalent of "I've seen you naked!" in all its smugly superior juvenility. A hated boss becomes less fearsome if one can imagine him with a small penis, just as an admired sports figure becomes less daunting when pictured the same way.

Although penis size has no bearing on sexual satisfaction, we live in a society which deals a consumeristic lesson of "bigger is better." Some of this carries over to color males' perception of themselves, convincing many a) they are undersized, and b) this is a terrible thing. Here are some penile facts that may prove helpful for those who spend more time than they should worrying about size:

* The average Caucasian's penis is 3.5 inches long when flaccid and 5.1 inches long when erect.

* Many men are unhappy with the size of their equipment, but research shows most of those who request penile-enhancement surgery are actually average-sized.

* The penis doesn't grow significantly until the first stages of puberty, normally starting between the ages of 10 and 14.

* During puberty the penis becomes longer and thicker and should reach adult size during the 16th year, after which no further growth occurs — indeed, there is some evidence that it starts to shrink after middle age.

* Surgery is the only technique that can make a flaccid penis longer or thicker.

Feet are feet. Yours are not deformed, show no fungus infections of the nails, and look clean from here. However, many people feel that the moisture on the soles of the feet attracts dust and dirt, and therefore feet don't stay clean. Also they may fear that the barefoot person has foot odor. My reaction if I were at your house: If the weather was warm, and the gathering a very casual one, I wouldn't mind. As a guest, I'd keep my socks on, myself.

Yep Big feet mean you have big shoes. That is really all it means though.The idea that it means you have to have a bigger penis is beyond me. I think some guys with big shoes but small penises started it so that they could make people think they were big. After all they weren't going around showing them off so they just had to make the women think it was true and would have them talking about it. Either that or some women started it about their husbands and girl talk.

You are obviously comfortable being barefoot and in your own home that is not a problem, nor is it being rude. Your guest needs to appreciate that she was in your home and for me, the word 'should' needs to be taken out of the English language. There is no 'should', it all comes down to personal preference and choice. I am guessing this woman has a problem with feet in general and decided to project that onto you and your other guests. Being critical of your feet makes her look foolish and it so much easier to judge someone else than take a look at oneself. May you stay barefoot in your own home and anywhere else that takes your fancy!

It's definitely the bigger the hands and the thicker the fingers, and the man will be well endowed.
Big feet are to support the tall man, and that is all.
As a woman, I've always been turned off by small hands of a man even before I made that correlation. (I'm SO shallow.)

Like most other assumptions based on other parts of the body, this is a FALSE assumption. While many body parts do correlate in length to each other according to the golden ratio, but hand, feet, and finger length do not have any relation to the size of a penis on any given human. Read the source for more information.

No, its not.

(and Dmac is full of it. Its probably only a 3 or a 4. Notice he didnt give his shoe size)

Anyway, its not true.

Garrett, a friend of mine, has a size 12 shoe and isn't "equipped"
My boyfriend has a size 9 shoe and is "equipped"
Cory, another friend, has like 9 1/2 shoe and is a 7 or so
Anthony has a 15 shoe and isn't "equipped".

Shoe size, nose size, arm length and hand size have nothing to do with the length of a mans penis.

Not in my S/O's case. His feet are only size 8.
