This is a weirdly good comment. When I was like 5 years old, I had to go in for the first surgery to lengthen my Achilles tendon. On the way to the hospital I overheard my mom talking to my dad about the fact I'd need to wear an expensive brace with a fixed shoe for a while. She was concerned about the fact that I was growing so quickly (and how soon I'd grow out of the expensive brace + shoe). She was telling my pop that the doctor recommended "well, if it comes to it, we can cut off the toe" - I asked sheepishly if they were going to cut off my toes.

I was going to joke that you should cut off your big toe, but holy cow.
Would like to hear more stories about growing up with this problem.

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
Can't you just stuff a rag into the toe of your shoe?

Sounds like you have at least one very strange foot, OP. Can we get a photo? (not asking in a weird way)

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

The first surgery was OK because I was like, a little pip. The second major surgery was in 7TH GRADE - and we all know how kind and understanding middle-schoolers are. Whatever - it may cause problems down the road as I get older but for right now, I just have a size 11 on my left, and a size 10 on my right. I suspect this is due to the fact that I probably had a cast on during some weird adolescent growth spurt, and it worked like binding feet.

Honestly I'm lucky I was touched so little by this potentially life-loving birth trauma.

Will people's shoe sizes be stored in a blockchain? I hear that's the way to do business now.

I'm just glad it happened! I can't take credit or share blame. Someone out there felt strongly enough to call out weirdly hateful speech on the somehow-still-going forums. I have hope that it's going to get turned over to new mgmt.

Organizations that arrange shoe trades for people with different-sized feet have been around since the 70s. My friend used one when we were in high school back then. He had a partner. They would decide on a style of shoe, one would buy the larger pair, the other the smaller, they would trade the appropriate shoes, so they have a pair that fit. It is also used by amputees who don't wear a prosthetic. They can share the unused shoe with an amputee missing the other leg.
