22 problems only girls with big feet understand

Women with large feet are denied many of life’s pleasures. Like shoe shopping expeditions that don’t end in the men’s section. The ability to wear coloured Converse high-tops without looking like an amateur clown. Or the wonder that is wearing sockettes.

Yes, there are countless woes we Big Foots know all too well – if you can think of more, please add them in the comments section.

1. You have lost toenails to the theory ‘it’s just a little snug’

2. You have the same shoe size as your husband/boyfriend/brother.

Being able to share your boyfriend's T-shirts is cute. Being able to share his shoes is... not.

3. Dainty shoe styles look anything but dainty when they're a size 11.

Via

4. On you, ballet flats expose an almost indecent amount of skin. Also: deep toe cleavage.

Via

5. Your 'man brogues' are literally a man's brogues.

Via

6. Shoe shopping is heartbreaking.

Via

It's a case of "Buy whatever fits" rather than "Buy what I actually like".

7. Online shoe shopping is not much better.

Via

8. You've had to stop guys at the gym from taking your sneakers after class

Via

9. Your size is always out of stock and is one of the first to go at sales.

Via

10. Walking up/down staircases in old houses is terrifying because your feet literally do not fit on each step.

11. "One size fits all" socks. Ha! Please.

Via

And don't even get us started on the lie that is "sockettes".

12. You have literally tripped over your own feet.

Via

13. Pointed shoes make you look like some kind of bizarre mythical creature.

Via

14. Pulling skinny jeans over your feet always ends in disaster.

Via

15. You've been told, "Oh, we don't go up to THAT size" more than once.

Via

16. Your most prized possession is a pair of vintage GOGO boots a drag queen owned in the 1970s

Via

17. Blisters. Bunions. ALL of the shoe-rubbing-feet problems.

Via

18. You've been socially shamed for picking things up with your long, prehensile toes.

Via

19. Sneakers. When they're white, you look like Jerry Seinfeld. When they're coloured, you look like a clown.

Via

20. Sales assistants have literally laughed at you.

Via

21. The brands that stock your size usually happen to be the most expensive.

Via

22. 'The bigger the feet the bigger the...' does not apply to ladies.
