MQ..are you very tall ?

 

[Keesha]

I remember you mentioning this in the walking thread. You must be extra tall?

 

[911]

11 1/2 4X I need a wide shoe to fit my wide feet.

 

[peramangkelder]

I have feet like 'boats'

According to this chart my delicate 'plates of meat' should fit into
Euro 42, UK 8.5-9, 28cm but I know from experience NEVER to order shoes online
I have to try them on and sometimes they are true to size and other times they are not
If you are wondering yes I do have shoes and sandals and boots that fit me

 

[Lewkat]

Size 7 which is the average for an American woman.

Hi, my name is Bigfoot. Depending on the style of the shoe, I wear either a 10 or a 10 1/2. The family joke is that I should leave the shoes at the store and just wear the boxes...

@Autumn Thank goodness a fellow 'big footer' and yes I've lost count of how many times
I've been told I should wear the boxes not the shoes

How tall are the women who wear size 7 1/2 to 8?

And is your foot the same size as the space between your inner elbow and your wrist?

I’m curious more than anything.

Seems like I've heard that somewhere too...about the foot elbow thing

 

[Keesha]

I’d only just heard it and thought I was way off but this is actually true. I just tried it.

When I read it, I tried it too. It’s true.

@moviequeen1 I often find men's shoes fit better and are wider
I am tall and would look very strange (or stranger) if my feet were smaller
No glass slipper for me I'm afraid....except maybe this one

Yeah, I can get in to a 13 if it's 3E
2E and I gotta go with 14s, of which is harder to find off the shelf

Keesha I think you are on to something!

 

[AmberTea]

Your foot size is usually adequate for your height. I'm sure it's not exact, but a 6 ft 4 in guy might fall over if his feet are only size 7.

Exactly RadishRose, some very large and tall people have tiny feet, while small framed short people have huge sized feet. Feet and
shoes have always been interesting to me. This week a friend of mine who is close to 6feet 3inches bought a pair of work boots for
his job. Oddly I always thought he might have huge feet but when he showed me the pair of boots he purchased they were size 8
only which is on the smaller shoe size.

 

[AmberTea]

Ooh interesting @AmberTea. I listen to the radio at night and I think I might have 5 - 5 1/2 hours sleep at night. Do you read cards !!!!

that made me chuckle just now, many years ago when I was in my 30's, and at a fun upbeat picnic I was called upon (for just fun only) to pretend I read cards, so I accepted the request and we had so much fun, the stuff I made up was entertaining, or so it was said.

 

[Pinky]

7 1/2 US .. but sometimes go to 8 due to bunion. I also like extra room with a closed-in shoe/boots. I wear mainly open-toe style strappy sandals all summer.

 

[Pam]

UK size 3 but I have a wide foot and now a damned bunion so I do sometimes buy a size 4 if I can't get a wide fitting. Always get a size 4 when buying boots to allow for a nice thick pair of socks in the winter.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I am a professional grape wine stomper, I lug around a pair of 13s.

 

[Sunny]

About the foot-elbow thing, does that mean that you can wear your shoes on your arms, if you can figure out how to get them past your hands?

 

[Keesha]

Keesha I think you are on to something!

Hahaha. Yes it’s a DUH moment on my part .

Hello, fellow bigfoot! My sis and I both have big feet, tho we are both barely over 5 feet tall.

Your post about reading cards reminded me of my Mom. When we'd go out for a chinese buffet around the corner, and it came time to read the fortune cookies....she'd always make up some funny stuff while reading. She was good lol

I'm one of those short, kind of slight people with big feet.

See! I was going to say that the rule of thumb doesn’t always apply. I’ve seen some really short people with huge feet and some really tall people with little feet. Then there’s a toe thing where some people’s toes are longer than their big toe.
