my feet are really big. what can i do to make them look a bit smaller?

Question

well. i'm not old, but i won't give away my age. i'm too "young" to wear heels. i'd look weird in them. i just need a few suggestions on what shoes and pants to wear to make my feet look a bit smaller. i'm 5'3" and i'm a 7 1/2 to 8. that's large. oh, and in men's too- 5.5-6.5.
thanks for taking the time to answer.
on and what i usually wear is skinny jeans with converse or vans. but today my cousin told me my feet are big. she's just as tall and fits into a size 5. =[

almost all of my shoes are black:
my converse look like this: http://www.zappos.com/images/108/108000/6901-15648-d.jpg
my ballet flats: http://www.zappos.com/images/739/7392905/7768-580796-d.jpg

and slip-ons:

thankies.

my cousin's 27 yr. old, she ain't gonna grow

Answer 1

Honey, that's a good size for feet. What you want to do is take care of them.
I had size 10 when I was 5'3. I tried to hide the size by wearing inclined heels and narrowed toes. I ruined them and now, at 35, have nasty aches and pains.
Wear comfortable shoes that compliment your clothes, so people notice you and not your feet.
Watch your diet. Heavy people often get fallen arches, which can lengthen the size of your feet. You can also prevent fallen arches by getting arch support inserts to wear inside your shoes. Most places that sell shoes also sell those inserts.
Don't get shoes that squeeze your toes. This can cause problems with your toe joints. As a result, your toes may require more room for comfort, meaning you would need to get the wide-sized shoes, and not many stores carry them.
Lastly, don't worry about it. Your cousin has her own issues and she is taking them out on you by picking on your feet. So she has itty bitty feet. So what? Be glad for what you have and take care of it too.
Let's also hope your cousin grows up a little too. I mean maturity-wise.

Answer 2

Why stress out about your feet...they are probably the last part of your body anyone will notice about you! You aren't really a big size so don't worry, just wear what makes you comfortable in. If you really need to disguise them wear bootleg jeans or try a stile of shoe that has a horizontal pattern or cap over the toe area (try to avoid white or light coloured caps)

Answer 3

Kid I have the same size, wear balle flats, look hot and make feet look smalle.
Stay awy basically, from open toed shoes and slippers

Answer 4

Try not to wear white shoes. White tends to make things bigger (thats why they paint rooms/ceilings white).

I agree about the flats (ballet flats). In nice dark colours (like dark purple, black, cherry red etc).

Though the best idea would be going to a shoe store and trying on different shoes and seeing what looks great for your preference and what doesn't.

Answer 5

That's not big!!! I think thats a perfect size for woman. I however, am a 12. =/

Answer 6

Believe me, you're feet aren't that big.
they're pretty normal actually.
my feet are size 11, but im 5'9" ish!
i reckon my feet are huge.
but either way, don't worry.
it's not like they make you any different to everyone else

Answer 7

that isn't big, they're fine...

and anyway, if you're good looking, it won't matter... if you're ugly, well, you got worse things to worry about right?

Answer 8

ha ha ha, I'm 5'3" and wear the same size shoe! They are not big! And your cousin has small feet!!!!
Well, anyway, have you tried bell bottom pants? Not the 60's kind, but they flare out a little bit. Paint your toe nails if you wear sandles.. :-)
But seriously....your feet are not big! Your cousin has kiddie feet! LOL

Answer 9

You can always cut off your larger toe (like in the original cinderella story) to fit into smaller shoes. I would not suggest do this though. You may bleeed to death. .I do not want anything to happen to you. Call the wizard of oz and maybe you can borrow dorothy's magic red sparkling pimp shoes.

Answer 10

Your feet are fine. Now I'm 5' 7" and I have size 12.5 .
I don't feel like they are big. I just think shoes are too small.
Don't wear real pointy toed shoes. All that extra to make the toe longer so your feet will actually go in the shoe makes them
look longer. I also think shoes with short tops in the front of the shoe. You know the ones that you can actually see the top of the toes. I think they make feet look bigger.
Good luck shoe shopping
