Was born with super small feet in the 1st percentile as well as hands due to a benign genetic issue. Totally healthy but shoe shopping is always awkward. Have decent balance and can walk and run fine as my calf muscles are quite developed to compensate. No, the myth isn’t true.
6’-5” with size 16. I’ve met people taller with just size 11 or 13 and I’m like, damnit! Once fell out of a kayak because my feet got stuck, and when I do partner dance I gotta be so careful in closed positions like in Balboa.
If I had to pick an extreme I’d go small.
