I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

    Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don’t think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

    Edit: I also want to applaude you for wearing Spiderman socks in this specific post!

      Speak for yourself… I use my Brannock device each morning to check my feet and see if my junk got bigger from the chemicals.

      I don’t think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it’s easy to check for yourself.

      It’s absolutely not common unless you’re getting custom shoes or some other 1%er activity
