Shoe size and related issues

po0k

I have big feet. Size 12 in shoes, 13 in runners.
I like them, they give me support and something to stand on.
They keep be from falling over when drunk (most of the time).
I enjoy my feet.
I also have a massive problem with finding nice, comfortable socks. Dunnes are grand, they are nice and soft/spongey for the first while, before they get disintegrated. But hey, they're only €5for 3.
But they are also only for sizes 9-11. Where is 12-13?
Finding decent shoes/runners at sales is also a problem. They never seem to have the good ones in size 12/13.
Why is this?
Is it that they never got these sizes in in the first place?
Is it that people with smaller feet wish to annoy the fúck out of their superior biped masters?
Perhaps it's some sick pleasure they get from depriving a section of society from good deals on quality footwear.
Why is this allowed to continue?
What are the politicians' going to do to stop this oppression of well-endowed citizens?........

I have tiny feet, size 4 in runners, 3 sometimes. But as I'm a girl, it's not too much of a problem.
And the great advantage is that I can buy kid sized Nike's that are identical in design to adult sized but for half the price!!! Brilliant!!:p

Hell I use a size 8 and still have plenty of room to swim in - cant stand shoes though never make my bus when I have to leg it in them.

Where do you procure such items?
What is they're life-cycle in the field?
How much can these young mercenaries be bought for?

The Movement is anxious.

The runners which served me best were a pair of size 12 Adidas Falcon, soft foamy type sole, very very light, fitted like a well-worn flak-jacket.......

Never looked for size 12, but I know penneys have the same kind of deals as Dins, and better quality (for once...).

Why not find somebody who would knit socks for you, with real wool and everything?

Don't ask me, I don't know how to knit...

po0k

Alas, I can never wear wool directly on my skin, itches and burns like crazy for a day or two after, especially bad at night for some reason.
Pity, cos I can kind of knit, and my mother is class at it.

I found some very ncie socks in Anthony Ryans, but they're a bit thin and don't provide much padding. I had some lovely cotton socks, but I tore the shíte out of them. Must be the way I walk or something, or the washing powder weakening the fibres.

The Movement is gathering pace I see.....

Cake Fiend

Just get size 11 socks, they'll stretch enough to fit. I usually buy the cheapy Donnay sox0rs in Champion sports, they're like €5 or something for three pairs.

Doodee

you know what they say bout people with Big Feet.............................................................









BIG SOCKS!!!

.............actually that's not ture - but it is a good gauge. If someone is big and tall and has big hands, feet, nose, ears, etc....i.e. if someone has big appendages they're likely to have a big appendage. But it's not always the case. Sometimes (rarely) someone with tiny feet will be well endowed and vice versa.


Personally, it's a nightmare trying to find a decent pair of shoes. If you have big feet all most shoe shops seem to have for you are boots. I managed to find one semi-decent pair of shoes in a big enough size but I only wear them for interviews cos they're too tight and tear the back off my heels. I always wear runners but even they are hard to find. As a result I ocaisionally get turned away from pubs with : "Sorry, no runners".

The worst is trying to get football boots. You generally want these to be about a half size bigger than your runners to accomodate for the more padded football socks. Trying to get size 13/14 boots is impossible and the blisters from size 12s are unbelievable.
You would think that shops might cop on and get sizes bigger than 11.
As for socks, the heels get worn way to quickly for my liking I dont know how many pairs of Wilson socks I have gone through over the past couple of years.
On a big and comfy note regarding runners, Fila do a nice job.
