Is it possible to get surgery to make my feet smaller because they're really big and it's causing me discomfort or making it hard to find shoes that fit right

Foot size reduction surgery is available, but it’s a complex and uncommon procedure, typically performed for medical reasons (like pain or deformity). Consider all non-surgical options first, including shoe inserts or orthotics.
