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. http://www.classadrivers.com/forum/i...s/confused.png http://www.classadrivers.com/forum/i...ies/tongue.png

My Dad was 5'10" and sz. 10 shoes. I took after my Mom's gene's. Her brother is a gorilla.
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?

I don't see how you can even turn around in a T/S bathroom stall! Bet you have to turn on your flashers and BACK IN. :p

I wear a size 15, and my oldest son (driving a yard horse) wears a size 19.... $300+ for a pair of sneakers... Sure am glad I don't have to pay for his shoes anymore.

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

Ever hear about "tripping over your own feet?" :p

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? ;)
