> [@MercyStreet](#): > > People whose second toes are larger than their thumb toes give me the kreeps. The first few times I read this, I missed the second “toes” in the sentence: “People whose second toes are larger than their thumbs gives me the kreeps.” Fortunately, even with that interpretation I’m safe, as my second toe is only 2.5" long, while my thumb is 3". And my big toe is about 3" long, too. Male, 5’ 11.5", size 10.5 - 11 shoes. I mostly wear sandals, though. ---

6’4" and size 14. One thing I would like to bring to the attention of any shoe sellers here: Put the big shoes towards the top of the shelf, not the bottom!! We, the big guys who buy those gun boats, are, for the most part, pretty darn tall. Don’t make us bend over to get that one pair of size 14’s you have in stock. Just put them on top where we can see 'em, ok? ---
