Feet and the spectrum

Post Reply New Topic

My entire family has wide feet but mine are especially short for my stature, they have my shoes in women's size but men's are always too big or too small. I find that interesting

If there is any validity to Dan Aykroyd being one of us, he mentioned having webbed feet a long time ago, and with those nuggets of data I began to wonder how common uncommon feet are among WP

I have the same problem, my feet are "2EW" (double extra wide) and I can almost never find cute women's shoes that fit me properly, but size 6 men's? perfect. I am also flat-footed. (and not in the tabletop-gaming sort of way )

When I was in boot camp, they had to custom order dress shoes and combat boots for me because "you can't have men's shoes, you are female." Needless to say, what they ordered still didn't fit right, and my feet ended up morphing (my big toe is now pushed way in toward my other toes, it's unsightly) and I was in constant pain. The custom insoles they gave me were FANTASTIC, however ^_^

I actually have incredibly narrow feet that are size 9 it's very hard to find women's shoes anywhere for me. No-one else in my family suffers with shoe problems like I do.

I have wide feet and they're anywhere from a size 5 to 6 in women's shoes. I notice my feet can become incredibly irritated from certain shoes and fabrics, so I am VERY picky when it comes to buying them. As for odd, the only oddity is that my feet are wide and small. They pretty proportioned with my height: I'm 4'11."

My feet are a UK size 9 in women's shoes, which I think is a size 11 in the USA (not sure about sizes in other countries). I'm nearly 5' 7'' and have feet that belong on somebody who should be about 6' 0''. My feet have been this size since I was 12.

I've never met another woman at my height with such big feet. It's really difficult to find shoes that fit, although recently I've noticed more stores have started stocking larger sizes so perhaps large feet are becoming more common.

I also have quite long toes and every single toenail is slightly ingrown, with my big toenails having become so badly ingrown on each side of the nail that I had an operation on them a few weeks ago.

My feet are in proportion with some of my other body parts but not my height. I have a large head and hands so my feet don't exactly look out of place but the only other people I know who have feet the same size as me are really really tall.

I've have UK size of 12-13, which roughly correlates with my height (just over 6' 4"). However, I have, on numerous occasions, gotten comments about my relatively long toes. No idea whether my toes are actually longer than they should be for my shoe size, or if people just compare it with their own, forgetting that my feet are also bigger than theirs.

I do sometimes wish that I had smaller feet, because it might make it easier to find shoes. Last time it took me over an hour to get new shoes, even though I took the very first pair that were the right size. <_<

Feet shape have nothing to do with AS, unless the brain is in the feet?

Ditto. I'm 4'10". I used to take a 5-5.5 but after I had kids I'm a 6-6.5. My feet are also pretty wide and my toes are very short and stumpy.

Genetics are more complicated than that.

That said, it is of note that minor physical anomalies are definitely associated with ASDs of all sorts.

Personally, I think my feet are about right for my proportions. They may be a pinch small, but I prefer shoes with extra room in the toe. I'm around 5'10" and wear US mens 9-10, depending on brand.

Finding a pair of heels is hard as hell, though, especially when you can't afford to crossdress out of anywhere but thrift stores xd

This wins SO MUCH! (have you checked E-bay? ~_^)

<_<
I actually managed to find pumps my wife was jealous of at the waterfront mission. Was too awkwardfunny when the cashier made sure she knew they were size 11. I have to get employed before thinking about things like that again, though. On the plus size, now I can go to thrift stores in St. Louis. A real city will have plenty for me.
>_>

I have wide feet, and size 5. My mum has small feet, and size 3. My brother has bigger feet with really long toes and shorter feet. My dad has shorter toes and longer feet. My cousin has really narrow feet and a big gap between her big toe and her second toe. My other cousin has wide feet, similar to mine. And I've seen lots more feet, everybody's feet are different, I've even read it somewhere.

If ASDs had physical abnormalities, it would have been well known in books and on websites about it for a few years now. But all it says is just about the mind and behaviour. How come the only ever physical abnormalities in ASDs are only invented by Aspies here?

I have big feet, uk size 14. When I was a child my foot size was synchronised with my age for a few years.

It's probably a combination of minor physical anomalies being higher in people with ASDs and aspies exploring the first environment they have ever been in that is full of people very like them. I realize now that I didn't get across my skepticism well in my first post, but that was the point of my feet being normal and mentioning anomalies. My feet may be normal, but my ear canals are shaped weirdly and don't drain correctly. If I don't keep on top of a basic wax removal system, they fill up until they impair my hearing, then push out horrible dry crap.

In addition to the personal space issues I have that weirdity about cruising the shoe racks; yes people are going to judge and there's no getting around that but in my area someone was nearly beat to death for wearing another team's jersey at a baseball game, and dudes who look similar to the assailants hang around in my thrift stores,

But I do have a pair of fuchsia MJ flats in 12 if you're interested

@Joe90 to paraphrase what Rebel says, we arrive here to find we're in the majority for a change and since our minds are all relatively similar we start seeing how we're the same physically, and besides that, do you really want to see a whole list of "what is a meltdown?" threads?

Yeah, it's way easier being able to putter along behind my wife like I'm just there for the ride. >_>

Though, to be fair, people are god awful stupidest about sports. I doubt anyone would do anything about you poking around goodwill's women's shoes. If someone says something, you can always just claim your sister or girlfriend pointed them out one day. You're just grabbing them for a birthday gift. ^_~

Also, I'm a women's 11 and currently staying with in-laws until I can manage employment. Gotta keep this stuff under wraps xd
