I was wondering if a grown man gains 100 lbs or more, what happens to his feet size? If a 150 pound man becomes a 250 pound man 5 years later, does his feet get bigger, or fatter, like his stomach and his waist?

My wife and I are debating this. I tell her that feet and the penis never change size no matter of weight gain. So what’s the answer?
