Yup. They will look dreadfully short. Don't let that bother you. Maybe the only drawback to them is going straight. You will feel(at first) them wanting to go back and forth(side to side) instead of going straight. That will be disconcerting at first. That sensation will go away pretty quickly.
After you get used to them try this: Keep them about a foot apart, maybe a bit more(actually you can go a lot more), and turn with both skis edges(one edge per ski). You will be amazed at the turning once you get used to doing that. It used to be you carved with one ski and now you can do it with both.
My skis are a bit of a throw back. The middle of my skis are only 63mm(extremely narrow) and outlawed for racing. Now they are like 75-90 on most skis. They seem to be getting wider and wider and wider lately. But that isn't a bad thing.
