So, I’m a pretty average-height guy—5’7”. Not tall, not short, just… there. My feet, however, did not get the memo. They are gigantic. Size 15. Which means I leave footprints that suggest someone much larger (or possibly Bigfoot) passed through, got spooked, and took off running.
People always comment. First, the double-take. Then: “Whoa. Those are… big.” And finally, the classic: “How do you even find shoes?”
Badly. That’s how.
Shoe shopping for me is like searching for an ancient artifact. Store clerks disappear into the back, only to return shaking their heads, as if I’d asked for a unicorn saddle. “We might have one pair in the back…” And what they bring out is always tragic—some orthopedic dad sneaker the size of a small canoe, usually in a shade best described as “beige disappointment.”
For a while, I tried to hide it. I slouched. I crammed my toes into size 13s like a Victorian woman chasing a terrible beauty standard. I even considered custom shoes—until I saw the price and briefly thought maybe barefoot life isn’t so bad.
But now? I’ve embraced it. I don’t tip over easily. I get extra legroom on buses just by existing. And when people ask about my shoe size, I just smile and say, “Great for swimming.”
This man cannot be knocked over.
Donald and Goofy have been searching for him.
You sir, are a comedy genius. I couldn’t stop laughing.
So EU size 47.
Geländevernichtungsbretter (ground flattening boards) or Kindersärge (childrens coffins), as we call those kinds of shoes. I had a friend with EU size 48, but at least he had the matching height.
My Vans are a 49 EU?
Yea eu47 is 13, not 15
Shoe sizes are all over the place, you know that anyways. I’m somewhere between 12.5 and 14(.5) when looking for fitting shoes in the us
Check out barefoot shoes, maybe they help getting a shorter shoe. My size mostly comes from a need of a wider toe box. YMMV
You’ll grow into it
You could see your feet coming around the corner then about 10 minutes later you show up.
You should start an onlyfans for your feet. Then you could buy custom shoes with the money.
If the rumors are true, if a dude has a foot that size, you can assume he must also have a long, massive sock.
I wear size 16 shoes.
Trust me when I say, big feet does not mean big anything else.
It doesnt even mean average anything else.
I have the inverse problem. I have the tool and skill to use it - but this is a team sport with your partner. Except for extreme cases (like small finger size) having good team play outweighs any size concerns by far. And for the occasional outsize kink there is quality toys. So don’t mind it and be happy you get to enjoy a loving partner. :)
He might even have two!
Get the ring to Mordor Mr. Frodo.
Nothing wrong here. just an oversized hobbit
I mean… surely there’s an obvious solution?
Tragically, these are normal sized on the inside
Oh please. You’ll be telling me next that policeman’s heads aren’t this shape either.
So Sideshow Bob might have been innocent?
He must have had custom fit.
Official footwear of the GOP. Gobbless 🇱🇷
It’s perfect for him
okay so:
-
does this make running a problem or are you actually a better runner than the average person? looks like it would be a hindrance but I’m curious
-
obviously there are rumors about feet size … do you find women coming on to you more because of this?
It’s not a hindrance but I do think I have more “drag” than the normal-footed guy. Like I just have more weight at the ends of my legs and surface area so I don’t think it helps. I can run fast though. I’m really great at swimming, where my paddle-like hands and feet really come into their own. For q2 - not as much as you’d think. Women are not so forward to make a move on me just because they think my big feet implies something else. I get more women through my natural charm.
I dont know about that but I want to see this guy swim.
Don’t know about running but it should definitely be an advantage for swimming. Michael Phelps, the Canadian champion swimmer, has size 14 feet.
As for women coming on to him, maybe women penguins?
1 Certainly makes it easier to drag your toes while pedaling a bicycle.
You should be pedaling with the balls of your feet. Toe drag would only be an issue in a tight turn, but you can scrape your pedal doing that if you set your pedals wrong, so your toes don’t matter much.

Watch out for rakes!
Hrgmphlrrrgggmmmrrrm…
I heard this comment hahaha
- hWACK*
Been there, done that, got the stitches.
On the bright side, I’m sure you occasionally get people insinuating you have a massive hog, right?
Heh yes that does tend to happen
Given your user name, I’m assuming they’re correct
soooooooo
They’re right, right?
…they’re right.
Well you know what they say about guys with big feet… they have big shoes
Absolutely well phrased with the obvious inappropriate question 😁
How much better at swimming are you than your peers?
Did you see the post a couple of months ago about the really tall dude with really small feet?
They should have a kid together!
They could make either one average sized person with average feet or just a fucking monster who is like 7’6" with size 18s
Was thinking more one foot small one foot big kind of thing.
Where are we on feet transplants?
Yes! Thank you!!
I just want to say kudos for the picture. It would have been easy to write this without it, but with it 🤌🏻
I want to see another pic without shoes on. Anyone can slap some size 15 shoes on their feet for a photo.
Free feet pics on the internet? I hope op is smarter then that
Of course you want to see him barefoot, for science right?
Have you ever sold feet pics? You could probably make some money!
tiger woods would pay
