Like what? It's not like anyone has any influence over their shoe size. How dumb do you have to be to think that shoe size makes any difference in a person's life?
The size of his feet. How much time he spends shoe shopping. A rough estimate of how likely he is to stub his toes. A general idea of how comfortable he is on stairs.
At least that's my suspicion as a large footed woman with similarly gifted parents
You can tell if a man is a clown by his shoe size.
As someone who has weirdly wide feet, shoe size can be rather important. While I have adapted by just wearing boots that only end up with the toe area being fucky I can imagine if you had even more non-standard feet it could be rather annoying. I wish cobblers were more common.
Based on my son, who wears size 14 shoes, it correlates closely with hand size. I have no idea if it relates to anything else and I'm not going to ask.
Of course it's well-known that Trump is sensitive about his tiny chubby hands, so he's probably got the same neurosis about his feet.
Remember it's always a confession from him. So he's screaming here that he wears shoes 4 sizes too large and has the inside modified to fit him. Because he has a weird little dink in his diaper.
I guarantee it boils down to “shoe size has a passing correlation to penis size”.
This just sounds like he purposely ordered his like 6 sizes bigger than everyone else's and is flopping about in some Sideshow Bob ass monstrosities just to try and convince everyone he has a big dick.
Shoe size does make a difference. Walk a mile in clown shoes and you'll know what it's like to be the sitting/always standing at weird angles president.
Clown shoes with lifts.
