I'm an avg. man with freakishly small feet-- 6.5. Can human growth hormone or surgery increase my shoe size?

I'm in my mid-30s. I'm just under 5'10", about avg. for an American male. I'm of Italian, Irish and Russian descent. I do have a smallish frame, but not freakishly so. My hands, face, and other body parts are in good proportions. But my feet are only size 6.5. They look unusually small. Women comment on it all the time. And I have a hard time finding shoes or even socks that fit properly. Can I do anything to get bigger feet? Woudl human growth hormone injections help? Is there a cosmetic surgery than can be done? Is there some other type of therapy I can do, like some sort of stretching exercises? I know this is something of a stupid question, but I'm tired of being self-conscious about it. Thank you.

Wow, NYguy, I'm the total opposite of you. I'm 6 feet tall...





... with size 15 and 1/2 feet.





And I'm also on the slim side with a normal frame. My hands are normal big, but my feet are huge and my toes are very long. It's ironic the other day I wrote something about how women focus too much on my shoe size to dig into 'other' things, I'm also tired of the comments sometimes.





I'm glad you wrote this because it proves many women do focus on silly things like that. I mean I am proud of my foot size but that's it. But I doubt you would want to swap feet with me. I can't find shoes big enough for them.





Yeah, unfortunately there is no real way of making your feet bigger, same as there isn't a way to make mine smaller to fit into shoes...
Reply:when you said women comment all the time, that means that they think you are lacking in the love dept dude!!!all women check the size of a guys feet and hands so they know what kind of package they are gonna get!!
Reply:no. Be happy with yourself, and it will make it easier for others to be happy with you.
Reply:Nothing on this planet will give u bigger feet. wear the cool kids sneakers, even the ones that light up when they walk. make them stand out and use your small feet as an attractive part of ya. Honestly you will see it will work better than being self-conscious about it. and be proud of them in fact show them off. i swear u will feel better and u can use your small feet to your advantage/
Reply:Ha!!!! I say don't worry about it. But the truth of the matter is... at 6' 1", I have small feet (9 1/2 - 10 depending on the shoe). I used to get comments about it all the time, and I would buy longer shoes and stuff the toes so they'd fit. But by the time I hit 30, I quit worrying about it, as I found that if my pants, slacks, and trousers didn't hang too low on the foot, they didn't seem so small. Now when some gal asks, I just say that what my feet are missing is made up for elsewhere more important.
Reply:The women who comment on your shoe size are just stupid and shallow. Don't mind them. Honestly, who cares about your feet, except you??? They help you walk, support your body, and that's really about it, how large they are doesn't affect that at all. Don't let your insecurities bother you so much, or you'll miss out on life.
Reply:Find something real to worry about, like your huge gut.
Reply:dont worry, your feet, ears and nose continue to grow throughout your lifetime. You could try wearing shoes that are 2 sizes too big and puting in a shoe insert in them to cover the rest of the area. A shoes specialists who makes shoes for diabetics should be able to make a shoe insert for about 70.00. That is kinda weird, but everything has something wrong with them. Some have bipolar, some women have harry arms, some have chronic bad breath, some are extremely obsese....just be thankful if thats all you have.
Reply:OK, I gotta know...are you just self conscious because of the idea that a man's feet are proportionate to other areas? Next time a woman comments try something like..."I may be small there but I make up for in other...!" and wink. Maybe pack around some XL condoms for good measure. Ha ha(just joking) I am sorry you are self conscious about that. It sucks being self conscious about body parts etc. Try talking to a a cosmetic surgeon or podiatrist. I wouldn't recommend the hormone injections as they will affect other body parts as well.
