I would expect (though troubled by) the few sizes larger in male shoe size over the last 30 years. When I worked in a shoe store in the 70's and 80's, the largest size we carried in a "full line" was size 10. Larger sizes, like 11, 12 or even the occaisional 14... were usually "standard" models, and ugly at best. I got a bonus if I actually SOLD a pair!
But, we're not TALKING about our kid's generation here. You guys are just as old and decrepit as ME! What's with the big feet? I've SEEN a picture of Hoggie next to a vehicle. I judge his heighth at not over (or actually near...) 6 feet. I'm only an inch or so shorter than that. Don't KNOW what kind of behemoth MichiganDriver might be.   All my parts is swollen now, so I have to take in a deep breath, just to buckle my pants. Yep, it's been a pain buying cloths and shoes, even jewelry, all my life. You are right, I use to live in Converse basketball shoes, because my size had to usually be ordered. Even now, most stores mens shoes goes to 12/13, and anything bigger is so ugly, you feel offended. None of the watch bands would fit my wrist, or they were tight. Rings... largest size stores carry is usually 12. Mine is 15, I have big meathooks. I'm just glad I'm not like Timberwolf. Finding high heels in my size would be a custom order. lemme guess... is this one of the photos yer talking aboot?

But, you figure.... The very best and strongest structures all have a "GOOD FOUNDATION".

Ever hear about "tripping over your own feet?"
My size 8 - 9 "foundation" seems to work for me. I don't usually fall down, and I don't trip over them. Sounds like proof of the Evolution theory. Though I'm not sure I see the "intelligent design" behind it. Unless... It's all about the Olympics! Can you imagine the advantage of an American SWIMMER with size 19 "flippers" over our more sophisticated European adversaries with only a size 8 foot?
