If you're a guy with small feet, you are keenly aware of how small your feet look to others. Growing up, I always had the smallest feet of any guys in my class. At some point, I started wearing shoes that were just a little too big so I wouldn't seems so small. (Plus there's room for you to grow, right?)
Now as an adult, I wear size 9s in most shoes, but in reality a size 8 would be a more proper fit. I've explored even smaller sizes and know that I could fit into a size 7 boys shoe without too much trouble, especially if it's a wide size.
I had a roommate that wore size 11s. I always hated that his feet were so much bigger than mine, despite the fact that he was 5'6 while I'm 5'8. Fast forward to later in life, I see him with size 9.5 shoes that fit him just fine. Not too snug. I'm guessing he realized his feet didn't really fit into his big shoes.
I wonder how many guys are wearing bigger sizes because they just got used to it, or are up sizing because of what shoe size supposedly means in other areas.
Do you size up?
