Question
I recently noticed that my child’s left and right feet have a width difference of about 0.5 centimeters, but the length is normal. The child says they don’t feel any discomfort, but occasionally express that their feet are tired. Could there be any problems?
Answer
It may just be due to variations in muscle mass causing the difference in foot size. Adults may not have perfectly matching feet either, with one foot usually being larger than the other. However, if the discrepancy is particularly noticeable or if one foot feels tight while the other feels loose when wearing shoes, it is recommended to consult a doctor and seek their advice.
