Yes they do. But I don’t know if it’s any worse than a “normal-footed” human’s feet.

I can 100% attest to this. Kids shoes are cheap because they’re cheap.

Be careful what you wish for. Small feet on a man mean you’ll be sentenced to a life of small dick jokes. Which is certainly not the worst thing in the world but it isn’t great.

I have sprained my ankles in the past but not since I was a teenager…maybe adjusting to my growth spurt when I was still wearing size 1s haha. Now I’m fine I guess I have adjusted. Of course, I’ve never been normal-footed so don’t have a point of reference but yeah I’m not falling over myself like a newborn fawn as you may think.

It is impossible to find steel toed boots in a size 3 I will tell you that much

Accurate

My balance is not too bad actually my body has had my whole life to adjust to its situation with my feet. I also go up stairs quickly on my tip toes but yeah I do always feel that stairs have ample room for my feet. Another positive is I pretty much never stub my toes.

No honestly I can’t say it is. I have small hands but other than that totally average.

Shoe shopping in a store rarely happens. I can go to Kmart or Target and find shoes in the kids section, or go online. I was only going into a proper shoe store this one time to get a new pair of running shoes.

Not as much as you would think. The body is incredibly adaptable. I have pretty strong foot and calf muscles that distribute the load I guess.

I only got my feet measured for a new pair of running shoes at a new running store that just opened up. You’re right - I don’t have to combat the Brannock device on a regular basis.

Haha bro thanks. And you’re right my shoe box would be too small for any baby!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Yes I sympathize. Kids and teenagers like to pick up on any kind of difference so you can imagine what they made of my size 3 feet even at a time when I was struggling to come to terms with it. It all seems stupid in retrospect like my feet aren’t deformed I’m just small pawed and really only a few inches smaller than “normal” feet but at the time it was the worst thing in the world
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Yes can confirm it’s very hard to find age appropriate shoes in my size. Most are Velcro or have glitter or superheroes on them which is fine - I definitely have some of these as “house shoes” but finding proper dress shoes or boots is very tricky. Running shoes are also difficult to find as I’m below the threshold for women’s sizes.

They’re just some random crayfish socks. I don’t have Ironman but have most other superhero socks, including my fave Spiderman socks Image

Yes I can confirm that there’s more pressure on my feet if my wearing out kids shoes every 6 months is anything to go by. They are not designed for a man of my height and weight!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Wow you must be tall!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Oh they always do! It’s all good I’m used to it!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
I pretty much can only wear kid’s sizes. But I was getting my foot measured because a new running store opened up that carries a women’s running shoe in a 5 and it runs small so with slightly thick socks I can fit in it fine. The first non-kids running shoes I’ve had in my life!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Yes they are. Like 5 3/4" in length which I think is pretty small. Luckily this issue didn’t affect any other parts of me! Image

Haha yes indeed. You don’t know me Brannock device!

No my forearm is bigger

You’re right I usually do buy online. I only went in to a fancy running store that just opened up because I do run and was wondering if they had anything other than youth sizes so they had to measure me (and I took this photo because I thought it was hilarious). They did in fact have a better running shoe for me!
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 3 weeks ago:
Good question. You would think but my calf and foot muscles are quite strong to compensate for what I lack in foot surface area. They do get sore after a long day but nothing too crazy.
