I wear either a 14 wide or a 15 regular, depending on the shoe. This means that I cannot just go into a store and have any reasonable expectation that I will leave with shoes. In fact, when I tell the shoe salesman that I'm in need of at least a 14, I usually get treated as if I had requested pants made from raccoon pelts.
"No, we don't have THOSE here."
One time we went to an outlet mall in Massachusetts and I spied a New Balance outlet store. I found two pairs of shoes in size 15 and when I went to pay the clerk announced in his loudest voice, "This must be big foot day." It seems the customer ahead of me also bought size fifteens. Giant shoes go to outlets to die.
These are the shoes that I wear to work at the hardware store.
Mrs. Sneed has big feet for a woman, size nine. This is a picture of her, putting her size nine shoe completely inside my shoe. She wants everyone to know that it fits with room to spare.
These shoes, like all my shoes are bought from freak stores on the internet.
Oh, and all my shoes look like boxes with laces, because it is impossible to make stylish shoes for the freakishly big-footed. At least no one appears to be trying. It seems that we should be grateful that we don't have to clad our feet in burlap sacks and be satisfied with giant, square baby shoes.
Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky

I'm a size 12, the largest size you can reasonably expect them to stock at the non-outlet stores.
That's a handsome shoe, and it doesn't look freakishly large.
These are great photos!
Bozo the Clown wore size 83 AAA shoes. now THAT is freaky!
I am late coming to this theeme and many people already themed so I did shoes repairing. I don't see your feet as terrible large.
Dennis has huge feet compared to other cats. It was far more noticeable when he was a kitten with giant feet. Dennis wonders if Merle was a middle schooler with large feet. Other children can be very cruel.
Wait.....what's a normal size anything anyway?
Nice looking shoes anyway.
Good for keeping one step ahead of the retail public! ; )
My uncle used to wear the exact same shoes.
How cute is that? Mr & Mrs Sneed playing with shoes together!
we were discussing this today and recalled a friend who although he was 5'10" had teeny tiny feet. He used to joke that his mother bound his feet when he was a toddler so she wouldn't have to tie him to the porch (she was Czech) anyway, his jokes aside, he wore like a size 5 (Boy's dept) shoe and that is way more embarrassing than having big feet. I think his foot size translated to a women's 7 at the very largest.
I didn't know shoes even came in a size 15. (I'm 10 1/2 EEE -- wide feet, which are also a problem to fit.)
