In summary, the speaker identifies themselves as having a disproportionate body with large hands and feet, comparing themselves to a hobbit. They mention facing difficulties with shoe shopping and bowling, and inquire about others with similar proportions. They also joke about the potential benefits of their body for certain professions.

Hey guys so I'm basically a real life hobbit. Hands and feet just ballooned out when I was a teenager - height not so much! As balanced as a mountain and just as hard to topple. Shoe shopping sux though (and bowling is awkward AF). Anyone else got wacky proportions like me? How rare do you think this might be?

If you applied for the Navy SEALS, they'd have to let you in, just on general principles.

1. What is the average shoe size for someone who is 5'6"?

The average shoe size for someone who is 5'6" varies depending on factors such as gender, age, and genetics. However, on average, a person who is 5'6" tends to have a shoe size between 7 and 9 for women and between 9 and 11 for men.

2. How rare is it for someone who is 5'6" to have size 17 feet?

It is extremely rare for someone who is 5'6" to have size 17 feet. In fact, it is estimated that only 0.0001% of the population has feet that are size 17 or larger. This equates to about 1 in every 100,000 people.

3. What factors contribute to having such a large shoe size?

Several factors can contribute to having a large shoe size, including genetics, hormone levels, and overall body size. People with larger feet may also have a higher body mass index (BMI) or taller stature, which can affect foot size.

4. Are there any potential health concerns associated with having size 17 feet?

In most cases, having size 17 feet is not a cause for concern. However, people with extremely large feet may experience difficulties finding shoes that fit properly and may be more prone to foot-related issues such as blisters, calluses, and corns. It is important to wear properly fitting shoes and seek medical attention if any foot pain or discomfort arises.

5. Is there a correlation between height and shoe size?

While there may be a slight correlation between height and shoe size, it is not a definitive factor. A person's shoe size is primarily determined by the length and width of their feet, which can vary greatly regardless of height. Other factors, such as genetics and body composition, play a larger role in determining shoe size.
