This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet due to a mild deformity. I've never met another adult with smaller feet. (infosec.pub)

Was born with super small feet in the 1st percentile as well as hands due to a benign genetic issue. Totally healthy but shoe shopping is always awkward. Have decent balance and can walk and run fine as my calf muscles are quite developed to compensate. No, the myth isn't true.

For international readers, that's a size 2 in UK/Australia, and approximately a size 33.5 - 34 European.

Apparently it's also roughly a 210 - 215 mondopoint length.

Srsly tho why do they need a totally different sizing scale for ski boots?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I knew nothing of this! It would appear ski boots use mondopoint divided by 10, so it's centimetres instead of millimetres.
