Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

    Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I’ll definitely wear some wheelies for you bro. Have to admit I’m pretty jealous of your size 13 wides…I wish I could get a decent pair of adult running shoes like you could I’m sure. So with my hands I’ve found playing some instruments quite difficult - especially guitar where I’ve struggled to play some chords and needed to get a 3/4 size guitar. Hand shakes are also awkward - both men’s and women’s hands can kind of dwarf my own. But yes, I guess the benefit is that my hands are much more nimble - I can easily reach things under the fridge and am pretty handy despite my handlets.

      The other advantage that you may not have noticed, is that your sense of balance is rock solid on anything other than your feet. I’m 6’3", and wear a size 8.5 US. I haven’t fallen in decades because I mostly run around on my E-bike, and I can ride that thing, or my normal 10 speed, with no hands just fine.

      Have you considered shopping women’s running shoes? There are many gender neutral color schemes among various brands (Brooks, Nike) that are available in a women’s size 5.
