Exceptionally big feet?

My cousin takes a 13 in womens, she’s 5’9.

I need a size 16 mens shoe, I’m 6 feet.

Neither of us is overweight even! Big feet run in my family, size 9 or 10 in girls, 11 to 13 in guys and a few wear 8s and 9s.

But the two of us have skiis for feet… Our shoes dwarf our friends. Like my cousin’s girly heal shoes (the few she has), look like playground slides. Mine look like boats and some people can fit their shoes inside mine!

Anyone know a medical reason for this? The doctor tells us it’s normal we just have genes that give us big feet, and that our good nutrition made them grow even bigger. But sometimes I just think they say that to makes us feel good. I’m not saying we are sick or anything but I was curious if there are any conditions to explain this. A girl with a size 13 foot or a guy with a 16 is not normal…
Yes, shoes for us are a nighmare. Our toes hang out from most of them…

Wow! My son wears a 16. People tease him about it all the time.
They finally stopped growing. He’s 6"4. Shoes are hard to get, aren’t they? I’m his Mom and I wear an ll. So, I guess that’s where he get’s them. No. There is no medical reason. However, if good nutritiion makes feet grow, I would have stopped feeding him. He is still very conscious about what and how he eats.

    Yes.. the feet are exceptionally.. I have to agree with the doctor though.. it is in the genes.. someplace in your past(ancestors) they have big feet and those genes haves been passed down.

    Sure it is normal. Your feet are the base of your body. The size of your feet depends on your body structure. You can’t have really small feet holding up a really large structure. I know lots of people with "large" feet, and that has nothing to do with their personality.
