Simone Biles On Having Small Feet: ‘I Hate When Shoe Companies Start Their Sizing at 5.5’

Simone Biles is an advocate for the small feet population.

“I hate when shoe companies start their sizing at 5.5,” the record-holding Olympic gymnast wrote on Threads in April of this year, following this statement with, “typed by a size 5 wearer.”

Having taken to social media in the spring to express her frustration with limited sizing options, the four-foot-eight athlete, who is currently competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, is clearly open about her smaller-than-usual foot size.
