Do you think having larger than average feet for one's gender makes one a better musician?

Since I am a 5 foot 3 woman with size 8 feet I would have to say - no.

But then maybe I've been going wrong all these years trying to play instruments with my hands.

Only if it's Tuesday.

Size 8 feet!!!

I'm size 8 too. Might stop you from falling over if you have a heavy instument!

I have had a really hard few days working flat out. I come home and read this.

I am now reaching for a chilled bottle of bubbles....

Frankly I think my musical prowess is down to the colour of my toenails (jade).

Ooh - are we twins?! I can sometimes get away with a 7 1/2 - it depends on the shoe.

Then again, I'm not that good a musician.

I'm doomed. My shoe size is anywhere between 3 and 4.

I'm a 6. I personally think they are too big, but I don't think I'm a 'great' musician!

42

If the temperature is zero outside and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be tomorrow?

And I always thought it were that big feet were supposed to be indicative of big... other .... parts...

I'm size 8 and rarely fall over, my mum is size 4 and falls over a lot, so big feet lower your centre of gravity I reckon

My feet (size 5 1/2) have stopped growing. Does that mean there's no point in practising any more?

Temperature doesn't really do multiples in that way - but if it were to, why, just change the scale

Oh, a very definite yes, I would say.

I was going to suggest another forum club - The Bigfoot Gang - but it looks as if most of us would be in it, so there's not much point!

Sounds like something out of EB !

Let's just say....judging from shoe sizes listed here, either you're using a shoe sizing system unknown to shoe manufacturers, or I can't imagine why any of you think you have large feet!! is about my only musical talent.

Son Airman can just manage to fit the largest shoe size in local shops if lucky, but son Viohazard's shoe-shopping requires a trip to ONE particular shop, hidden on a backstreet in a little-known part of Tokyo.

Husband has incredibly small feet, and maintains that he was the star of the Sunday school choir at the local mission...until the fateful day when they neg lected to offer him the post-practice biscuit tin! Never mind, his small-foot genes have obviously been well and truly "stamped out" of the noble Ears heritage...

We have a saying in Japan: "Big-foot stupid, small-foot no sense"...take your pick!

As Fats Waller put it "Can't love you cuz your feets too big"

Maybe you should ask in Viva Organ.

It won't surprise you to know that's almost our familly anthem!

I like it!!!!

I take size 39 or 40. But then this is France!

Its not foot size that counts for men.

Careful what you say ... we don't want yet another thread to be silently deleted

I have one size 7.5 foot, and one size 8 foot, what does that make me???

A bit of an oddball?

Can't really argue with that much...
