Paris Hilton Has Big Feet…So What? So Do I
Of all the things I can find to pick on Paris Hilton about (and they are legion), her feet aren’t one of them (or, to be more accurate, two of them):
She’s not one to shy away from attention of any sort, but not even Paris Hilton would be pleased that all eyes were on her rather peculiar feet yesterday.
The heiress’ huge size 11s attracted attention for all the wrong reasons - they looked exceptionally bony and sinewy as she hit the street in a silver pair of ballet flats in LA yesterday.
Paris has previously bemoaned her super sized feet, saying: “Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes.”
I am really sick and tired of the media finding something about people that doesn’t fit what some arbitrary anonymous person has decided is the “norm”, and flogging it to death and beyond. I can pick all day on things like Paris’ clothing, hairdo, choice of makeup, horrible pet-owning skills, stupid decisions, vacuous personality, and even her choice of shoes, but those are all things she can change or do something about. There’s not much one can do about the size of one’s feet.
Besides, there are more women in the world with big feet than small ones (you hear that, shoe stores?). Just in America, the average shoe size for women is around a size 9. And it must be taken into account that Paris is 5′8″ tall (coincidentally, also my height) and very slender (coincidentally, how I vision myself inside my head), and she has long, thin limbs and fingers. Of course her feet look bony, it’s how her body is built. People need to stop describing larger feet in terms normally reserved for abcessed pus-filled sores.
And of course her foot looks sinewy in that photo…she’s taking a step! Really, that’s just stupid. It’s a foot.
I’ve had a big foot since I was a kid. Most of the time, I wear a women’s size 12. All the better to kick you in the butt with when you make fun of my big feet, my dear.

they’re not only big they’re quite ugly….you would think that might be cause for some humility…which would be quite becoming on her….

What’s that they say about big feet? Big brains, no. Big heart, no, that’s not it. Big dumb ass? Closer, but not quite. Big FOOT!! DING DING DING.
Yeah, I agree k, her feet are the least of her issues, though they are weird looking, as are all feet in my book.
