I don't think Hobbits in general have unusually big feet.

I don't remember Tolkien ever saying so anyway, and he depicted Hobbit feet in his art. The Harfoots were said to be browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless -- their hands and feet were 'neat and nimble'. The Stoors were broader, heavier in build; their feet and hands were larger.

Not large, but larger by comparison (feet and hands) -- but the Stoors were broader and of heavier build in any case.
