Not as many issues as you might think. Of course, I have a smaller foot surface area to work with so not as steady on my toes but I have strong foot and calf muscles to compensate I think and keep me relatively stable. I can run fine but kid’s shoes are not designed for a 6’1" 170 lb man to be running in them so I go through shoes like crazy. Mostly it’s just social issues - my feet and hands are quite noticeably small so I get comments from strangers a lot. But I just try to laugh it off and be good humored about it.

Yes people do notice on at least a weekly basis. The size difference is quite dramatic compared to normal sized shoes. My foot next to a pair of size 9s

And size 10

Have to just buy kid’s sizes. Women’s and men’s shoes are too big for me. Mostly buy online…I can tell you from experience it can get weird buying in store. Converse and Vans are great as they make age appropriate shoes in my size. Dress shoes harder to find in a non-clunky style. Work boots are non-existent.
