Well, I've never seen Hobbits as having abnormally large feet, but I have certainly always pictured them with prominent feet. Can't say why. Maybe it was the no shoes factor or the "Proudfoot" reference. Or possibly it was just a hangover from D+D and/or the Bakshi animated film.

I have also always imagined them as having heads disproportionate in size to their body. For some reason, I see them with Man-sized heads on Hobbit-sized bodies. Again, no idea why, but it just seems right.
