As a baby I was born with a pituitary issue which meant my hands and feet were abnormally small. They never grew that large at all. I can run and walk fine and they're not deformed or anything, just tiny. I might have some weird world record for smallest hands and feet on a fully grown adult!

You know what they say about guys with tiny feet...

They have a helluva time finding shoes that fit right.

Indeed. Have to buy online. Shoe stores are too awkward.

Upside: the variety of light up shoes you can buy must be much higher than the average adult!

And superhero themed Velcro sandals!

And a lot of converse chuck taylor styles like the dinosaur ones, lol.

A friend of mine has trouble with that. Women's shoes are usually the right length, but they are skinner than men's shoes

As someone with moderately long but exceptionally wide feet, having tiny feet seems like it'd be much easier to find shoes that fit..

Do EE shoes work for you? A couple of work shoe/boot outlets by me are always full of those sizes.

I’m US11 and have super narrow feet, and have a hard time finding shoes that don’t wobble around on me at those stores.

4E, lol

It's rare that even a website will have the size/length combination I need, let alone a store! Haha

New Balance has 4E and I struck gold with XLFeet.com too.

Thank you for recommending New Balance. I'd been mostly stuck with Underarmour running shoes. I don't know how much I can benefit from XLFeet.com though as I live in Canada.

I can at least find brands that offer 4E though. Thank you!
