9 Problems Only Women With Big Feet Understand

If there is one thing that I could change about my body, it would be to have smaller feet (okay, and maybe a bigger chest if I'm being completely honest). By the time I was 12, I was already wearing a size 7 and it seems like my feet haven't stopped growing since. Then I got pregnant and my feet got longer and wider and let's just say shoe shopping isn't one of my favorite activities. Having big feet is hard! Don't believe me? Click through the slideshow to see what girls with big feet have to deal with.

Ever tried asking a sales associate for a shoe in a size 11? Chances are she'll laugh in your face because most stores only order a few pairs of shoes in the bigger sizes, so your chances of snagging something cute in a size bigger than a 9 is slim to none. #bigfeetproblems.

Wear over a size 11? You're basically relegated to only buying shoes online from sites like Long Tall Sally, which kinda sucks when you need a pair of shoes for a wedding or a party in a pinch in a day or two.

WTH do the Europeans have against women with big feet? All the smaller US sizes get Eurpoean sizes in the thirties, while big feet girls are relegated to the forties. Also, do you have any idea how hard it is to come by a size 41 or 42 shoe? Nearly impossible! I've never even seen a 43!

Ankle socks? Don't even think about it. Either your toes are crammed in the front or it's constantly slipping off on the heel.

Good luck pulling off a pair of classic white high top Converse sneakers. They always look amazing on women with cute small feet, but throw a pair of white canvas sneakers on a foot that's bigger than a size 9 and yikes, they look like boats.

Brands that don't have many styles over a size 10 and run small anyway? Zara. Brands that do? Aerosoles. Womp womp.

You avoid high heel sandals at all cost because you know your toes will eventually find their way over the edge.

Forget labor! Your biggest fear about getting pregnant is your feet getting even bigger.

People always have jokes.
