Listen, I’m not a tall guy. I stand 5’6 maybe 5’7 if my hair counts and it’s combed. I wear a size 8.5 shoe. I can walk into any shoe store in America and find a wide variety of shoes in my size. Running shoes? You’re darn right. Basketball shoes? Of course. Dress shoes? Absolutely. Never had a problem.

My grandpa though had a big problem with shoes. I obviously didn’t inherit his height but he was a tall man. He worse size 15 shoes and had all kinds of difficulty in finding shoes that were both the right size and comfortable.
