I asked the bride to get me her father's shoe size, she hesitated till two days to the wedding. I had to tell my friend to call the man by himself and collect his shoe size.
He said the man told him to give him the money, that his wife will go get him the shoes. Reason was that his size was 37, which could only be seen in children shoes stores and his wife has a customer in the market.
The man was a very small man in stature with equally small feet. His daughter was ashamed of telling me his size.
Lucky him, he would get the shoes easily and at cheaper prices compared to adult shoes.
In my family, we are on the tall side, male and female and While growing up, as young teenagers, I remember how my step mother deprived us of new shoes, her excuse was that we wore adult sizes which were more expensive.

My dad would give her money to shop for us but our shoe sizes would not let her steal as much as she wanted from the money, she would just deny us the luxury of new shoes and pocket the remaining money.
When my dad asks her, she would tell him that our clothes were expensive and they took all the money, moreover we still had nice shoes. Baba will keep quiet.
My sister was the worst hit, she didn't have it funny as a teenager. Fanciful female children shoes would not be available in her size, except in adult shoes section, so the mama would just buy her rubber shoes most times or no shoes at all.
I used to pity her back then. Even now as an adult, she walks the whole market before she finds a nice pair that is in her size and these bigger sizes don't come cheap. She wears 42/43.
I have seen some traces of big feet on one of my girls and I have instructed wify to curb it now by making the girls wear more of fitted and covered shoes. Open sandals and slippers will worsen the situation. I don't want them to suffer before geting their shoe sizes in future.
Prevention is better than cure abeg.
Wait 😨 did I just read, ‘curb it with fitted shoes’? 😃😄 is it possible 🤣😄
ReplyDeleteHmmmm......*looks left then right* 🤣
DeleteI heard it works if you notice it on time.

ReplyDeleteWhy do I find this post funny
It sure very funny. I dey this circle sha. You could acutally order for big foot size cos market mostly have popular size.
DeleteI think it's actually possible to curb it with fitted shoes, I realized this too late 😪
DeleteIt became funny when I got to "fitted and covered shoe will curb it"😄
DeleteMo ti gbo o
Is it possible to curb big feet with fitted and covered shoes?
ReplyDeleteAh...tor
DeleteI wear size 42. It is difficult getting ones size. Wearing more of fitted and cover shoes will make leg to be small.
ReplyDeleteomg female shoe size is what the man wears.
ReplyDeleteI find your post very funny today😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to curb the size of feet by wearing fitted shoes,I don't think so.....my son started wearing shoes when he was six month old,doesn't walk barefooted,sandals are only for natives yet he inherited big feet from my family.
I understand what big foot people go through because I have them many in my family especially the ladies,they will see fine shoes but the sizes won't pass 40 and when they see their sizes it won't be fine,looking like canoe😂 and still expensive.
I on the other side,tall but uses size 40 ,so I still get to buy beautiful shoes.
It can come back to normal shape if they start putting on very tight ones at a very young age
DeleteAnd the wearing of fitted shoes should be done consistently. If not, OYO. Instead of slipas , they should put on sandals all the time until they get used to it. Nothing good comes eazy
DeleteSlim shady, please what is slipas?
DeleteShooter, lol. I was trying to remember the spelling but couldn't, so I decided to post that one like this that.
DeleteLeg wey wan grow go grow, if you like wear cover shoe from now till tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy father's people are very tall with big foot. Thank God I I took after my mum and I'm now the shortest among my siblings even though I'm the oldest.

Hello iya boys
😭. They call me shovel feet. To see my size in the market eh. Sandals, slippers had always been it for me. To wear shoes and not feel a bit comfortable.
ReplyDeleteA classmate during secondary school used to have wide legs when we were in Jss1. Our school's footwear was mainly sandals , then canvas for sports. I advised her to start wearing tight sandals and she should make sure that the sandals are tight on that part of her foot that is wide. She did as I advised and today her foot are very normal. Those types of footwears I advised her to always put on gave her feet a normal shape before we graduated.
ReplyDeleteYou actually going to hurt them
ReplyDeleteNa wetin I dey go through be this.😩 Large feet. Ukwu caterpillar.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the feet curbing thing you mentioned. Why should a parent do that? That doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteCurb ke,lol
ReplyDeleteabeg this your post funny 🤣😂😂
ReplyDeleteSize 45 here. The available shoes are usually not fancy at all.
ReplyDeleteThe fancy ones are so expensive 😔😔.
I just give up sometimes 😭😭. You go to the sneaker store and see affordable prices for size 42. Then immediately it's 45 for the same sneaker, the price just becomes inflated. 😪😪😪
You can’t curb what dna has in store for your daughter😂 You bring your big feet gene into her life and now you want to curb it🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteMy sis is on this table,big legs,she hardly find her shoes in the market..
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The feet will not be wide like shovel (to quote the Anon up there), wear them fitted shoes from small instead of open sandals and slippers
ReplyDeleteI can relate so well to this, my shoe size is 42sandals and 43 cover shoes. So it's not easy to come by in cheaper wears. But mum noticed on time making her to buy cover shoes for me and my brother till I can afford to do so on my own, that's when I bought sandals for the first time. The advantage of her actions is that we have straight feet and not wide ones .
ReplyDeleteI wear size 41/42...
ReplyDeleteI honestly envy ladies with small feet.. na Dem dey enjoy fine fine shoes pass for market
Actually, you can reduce the size of your feet by reducing your weight, atleast it worked for me.
ReplyDeleteSize 39 now 40 as I dropped pregnancy fat and additional weight gain from job stress, however, i'm enjoying it temporarily 'cause I now fit the small size shoes wey I use greed buy because it was cute.
I have seen some traces of big feet on one of my girls and I have instructed wify to curb it now by making the girls wear more of fitted and covered shoes. Open sandals and slippers will worsen the situation...This is the funniest post i have seen thus far(Osim curb(...Oga i wear a size43/44 for women and a 44/45 for men and i find my size always. When i lived in Nigeria growing up my size was always available. everyone in my family is tall and when i mean tall above 5.10. and we all have long feet... The shortest person in my family is my dad at 5:8/9 and the tallest person is 6.7...this is for nuclear family o
ReplyDeleteTeam 38 for life
ReplyDeleteOmoh I'm on this table, big feet🤦
ReplyDeleteIt's really difficult to get a shoe of my choice and when I eventually do the price is something else.
I remember while growing up, whenever I go to the mkt with my elder sister to get shoes, those Igbo men will make fun of me and be like " go make Dem cut and shape your leg"... Wetin concern me, I'll just smile it out.
I wear big 43, for ladies easy wear and pumps ,then 44 for sneakers
Well, I see myself unique in all of this😍☺️
Does wearing covered shoes curtail how big the feet will.grow? I'm just hearing this for the first time
