Remember the phrase - 'Act your age, not your shoe size?' That didn't apply to me, as they were the same until the age of 12 when my feet stopped growing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People ask me if my shoes were too small when I was a kid and I say it wouldn't matter how fight my shoes were, I just liked that feeling of them being in there. That's how I started tapping my toes.
I was a full foot taller than any child my age.
One of my feet is a whole size longer than the other. One is size ten, the other is size eleven.
When I was 12, my feet were so small, I wore my sisters' glitter shoes. My dad would whoop me: 'You're not going to school now, you'll embarrass us!'
Although my mother didn't necessarily approve of teenage girls wearing heels, she made an exception for me when I was 14 because she didn't want me to be self-conscious about my height - or to slouch.
The problem is you can't wear your old shoes too often because people say, 'You're still wearing that shoe?'
Actually, I'm 5-8 and change without shoes. With shoes, 5-9.
Moms, take it from me: do not buy your baby too many shoes when they're so tiny, because their feet grow every week.
When I was 22, I thought I couldn't wear heels because of my height.
Shoes are a neutral blessing for us because feet generally aren't regarded as a place where the battle for self-esteem is won or lost. Feet don't change size when the body does through the natural ageing process.
