In reality, most people have feet that are not exactly alike, and this is completely normal. Research indicates that up to 19% of individuals have a difference in foot length greater than 4 mm – nearly half a shoe size. Although the body is generally symmetrical, the legs can vary. This is noted by Live Science. For instance, statistics show that most people have a left foot that is slightly larger than the right. This is attributed to the fact that we tend to put more weight on the left foot when we move and maintain balance.

There are also other reasons why feet may differ. For example, women may experience changes in foot size after pregnancy due to weakened ligaments. Additionally, childhood injuries or frequently using one leg more can also affect size.

Generally, such size differences are not a significant issue and can be easily managed. When the difference is substantial, surgery may sometimes be necessary, but in most cases, it's merely a cosmetic concern.

If one of your feet is larger, there are several options. For example, you can buy a pair of shoes for the larger foot and use special inserts or fillers for the smaller one. Alternatively, purchasing two shoes in different sizes is becoming increasingly common. Many brands offer this option.
