Is your left foot bigger than the right one?

I notice that whatever shoes I buy, my left shoe seems to be tighten than the right shoe. When I align my feet, I realised that my left foot is bigger than the right one. Does anyone here have the same case as me?

Yes I think I have the same problem. My left foot is a little longer than the right one! Someone told me that it's because I use my left foot first whenever I make the first step, so it tends to have more pressure! I don't know if it's true but the thinking is quite creative *smiles*. I talk to many people and don't worry, you are normal because many of us have the same problem!

I see, I'm glad that it is perfectly normal. Despite that, I have a hard time putting my left foot into the left shoe without using my hands to adjust it in. I like wearing my right shoe because I don't need to trouble my hands to adjust it in. Guess I'm simply lazy, haha. Think next time when I buy a new shoe, I should test it with my left (bigger) foot.

i just bought a shoe recently and in my case, its the left foot that is smaller. the sales attendant said that people have unequal sizes of feet and they even receive quite a lot of complaint because of it. ^__^;; so they always have to explain that it was natural to have unequal feet and that the two feet would fit differently to a lot of footwear.

As most people tend to use their strong side more often, either which side the person uses most of the time, the muscle mass on that side increases causing a disparity in size. If you are always using your left foot, the bigger it becomes.
