Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Due to a pituitary issue when I was younger I have maybe a bizarre world record of the smallest feet and hands on a fully grown man. My feet and hands are normal looking but very small. They were tiny as a baby and just never grew that big. Thought you all would find it interesting - I know it makes for good chat at parties!

How do you find shoes? I imagine there's not a whole lot of selection of adult shoes at that size.

Mostly online. Women's sizes are all too big so can only wear kid's sizes. The trick is finding something without Velcro and superheroes all over it (though I have a cool pair of Optimus Prime sandals just because I can). Converse and Vans are reliable.

velcro is super good tho. should be on more adult size shoes. velcro doesn't come loose by itself (then dipping into dirt), doesn't get caught on things or in machines and doesn't rip in the worst possible moment when you're in a hurry. it's just a bit harder to clean.

Agreed of course. My Velcro Optimus Prime sandals are an old stand by -
