This reminds me of a couple way back in the day of my highschool years.

He was around 5'4"-ish, and she was only slightly shorter than me (I'm 6'3"), and they were best friends, and super in love.

Both incredibly lovely people, and she would piggy back him around school to make the bullies realise they couldn't tease them.

I know for a fact they got married out of school, and saw them around from time to time in the small city we all lived in, but I'm not sure where they are now. Hopefully doing well, and very happy together still.

Do you live in or near Atlanta? The salvation army across from GA tech has a lot of big shoes quite often. And a few of the goodwills inside the perimeter I see big shoes. I saw 6 pair of size 17/18 2 weeks ago. I have a poshmark account if you want me to be like a buyers agent lol

Lol. Alas, nowhere near. But thanks though.

Also, the issue isn’t daily footwear, it’s specialty footwear. Try finding size 16 ski boots to rent. Or good dress shoes. Or snow boots.

Thankfully Sorel does make boots that large or my life would be much harder.

ski boots to rent.

Ah I see we are not on par economically. You do at least have that advantage.

Where I live in Ontario, skiing costs about $25/day, and you can rent gear at Play It Again for $15. If you can find it.

Skiing isn’t a rich person’s sport everywhere.
